List my cases

list_my_cases
Read-onlyIdempotent

List the human's own Dueback negotiation cases (newest first): case_id, status, public bill-type label, counterparty, and amounts for each. Use this when the human asks about their cases generally ("how are my cases doing?") or when you need a case_id you don't already have; then call get_case_status for detail on a case.

If the result carries sign_in_required, the human is not signed in and the empty cases list is NOT a report that they have no cases: ask the human to sign in to Dueback, then call list_my_cases again. A 401 is returned as this friendly result, not raised, so unauthenticated probes (e.g. bots hitting the MCP endpoint without credentials) do not surface as Sentry errors.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations, it discloses an auth requirement and a non-obvious result contract: sign_in_required may appear and an empty list in that case must NOT be read as 'no cases'. It also explains that 401 is returned as a friendly result rather than raised, which changes how an agent must interpret the response.

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 short paragraphs, front-loaded with the returned fields and usage triggers, followed by the sign_in_required caveat. The trailing clause about unauthenticated bot probes not surfacing as Sentry errors is operator rationale rather than agent-actionable guidance and could be trimmed without loss.

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?

Complete for a zero-parameter read tool: the trigger conditions, follow-up tool, and the one misleading response state are all covered. An output schema exists, yet naming the fields costs little and lets the agent plan the next call.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is high and there is no parameter semantics to compensate for. The description spends its space on output shape and auth behavior instead, which is the right trade-off for a parameterless call.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('List the human's own Dueback negotiation cases') plus ordering ('newest first') and the exact fields returned, which lets an agent predict the payload before calling. It also distinguishes itself from get_case_status by scope (summary list vs. per-case detail).

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives two concrete triggers ('how are my cases doing?' and 'when you need a case_id you don't already have') and names the follow-up path via get_case_status for detail. Nothing about when to pick this over a sibling is left to inference.

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