List entities

list_entities
Read-onlyIdempotent

List built-in actors, products, visual styles, and slideshow themes plus team entities (including brands, locations, and props). Built-in rows have isBuiltIn true and cannot be updated or archived. Filter with entityType when you only need one kind.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, but the description adds real value beyond them by disclosing that built-in rows carry isBuiltIn=true and cannot be updated or archived. That immutability caveat is behavioral context the agent cannot get from the structured fields.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with the resource enumeration, then immutability, then filtering. Little waste, though the listing could be slightly tighter.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With an output schema present, return values need no explanation, and the description covers entity kinds, immutability, and filtering. It leaves only the when-to-use-vs-get_entity routing implicit, which keeps it short of fully complete.

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%, so the schema already documents limit, cursor, and entityType. The description only reinforces the entityType filter behavior, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema; baseline 3 is 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?

Specific verb ('List') plus resource ('entities'), with an explicit enumeration of what kinds are returned: built-in actors, products, visual styles, slideshow themes, plus team entities like brands, locations, props. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling list tools such as list_files and list_projects.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It offers one usage hint ('Filter with entityType when you only need one kind'), which is a genuine when-to-use condition. However, it never routes the agent toward get_entity for single-entity retrieval or names any alternative/exclusion, so guidance is implied rather than explicit.

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