Devops List Vendors

devops_list_vendors
Read-onlyIdempotent

List vendors in the built-in registry, optionally filtered by category or name search. Returns slug, display name, category, and status page URL for each entry. Use to discover the correct slug to pass to other tools, or to see which vendors are available before configuring a stack.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral detail beyond them: it operates on the built-in registry, supports optional filtering, and returns a specific field set. No contradictions with the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two dense sentences place the core action first, then outputs, then concrete use cases. There is no filler or redundancy; every clause earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a low-complexity list tool with an output schema and annotations already covering safety, the description is complete: it states what is listed, how to filter, what is returned, and why an agent would call it. Nothing needed to invoke it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%: both 'query' and 'category' have clear descriptions, the category enum lists all values, and the query description includes examples. The description repeats the filtering concept but adds no parameter meaning beyond the schema, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource ('List vendors in the built-in registry') and immediately clarifies scope via optional filters and the exact returned fields (slug, display name, category, status page URL). It is clearly distinct from the sibling tools, which all concern checking, incidents, or stack actions rather than registry discovery.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly states when to use the tool: 'discover the correct slug to pass to other tools' or 'see which vendors are available before configuring a stack.' It does not name alternatives or exclusions, but no sibling tool has a comparable listing role, so the context is sufficient.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
