list_podcast_studios

Read-onlyIdempotent

The podcast studios the user has saved (a studio is the picture of the two hosts at their desk that an Animated Podcast episode is built on) with their hosts and voices, their saved shows, and the ready-made empty rooms preview_podcast_studio can put hosts into. Use before create_podcast when the user wants to reuse a studio or show, or to pick a room. Reads only, costs nothing.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful context by stating 'costs nothing' and summarizing exactly what saved studio data is returned, though it does not mention pagination or ordering.

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?

The description is dense but front-loads the resource being listed and the parenthetical definition of a studio is helpful. The long first sentence is slightly heavy, but every clause conveys relevant scope or workflow information.

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?

For a zero-parameter read-only list tool with annotations and no output schema, the description provides enough context: what is returned, what a studio is, and when to call it. It could be stronger by noting whether all studios are always returned or whether there are limits, but no major gap prevents correct invocation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

This tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. There are no parameter semantics to clarify beyond what the empty schema already communicates.

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 specifies the exact resource: saved podcast studios, including hosts and voices, saved shows, and ready-made rooms. It also distinguishes this list from create_podcast and preview_podcast_studio by naming those siblings and their roles.

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?

It gives a clear usage context: use before create_podcast when the user wants to reuse a studio or show, or to pick a room. It lacks an explicit 'do not use when' exclusion, but the intended workflow is clear.

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