list_subscriptionsList the caller's active subscriptions. Returns id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count for each. Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_inactive | No | Include cancelled subscriptions in the response (default false). |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint false, and idempotentHint. The description adds further detail: returns specific fields and defaults to active subscriptions only, with optional include_inactive. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences: first states purpose and output, second gives usage guidance. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with one optional parameter, good annotations, and no output schema, the description is complete, covering purpose, output format, and usage context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage 100% with one parameter (include_inactive). The description clarifies that it defaults to false, adding context beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists the caller's active subscriptions and enumerates the returned fields (id, type, etc.), distinguishing it from sibling tools like subscribe/unsubscribe.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit guidance on when to use it ('review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel'), which implies alternatives and context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

The tool set mixes three near-identical ask_pipeworx variants, multiple overlapping prediction-market tools (polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, bet_research), and three endoflife tools buried among 31 unrelated Pipeworx tools. This makes distinguishing between tools genuinely confusing, especially when several appear to route to the same underlying data.
Most names use lowercase snake_case, but the verb-noun pattern is inconsistent: some are verb_noun (list_products, get_product), others noun_noun (polymarket_edges, bet_research), and a few are bare verbs (recall, forget). The style is readable but does not follow a single predictable convention.
With 34 tools, the count is far too high for a server named 'Endoflife'—only three tools actually relate to endoflife.date tracking. The remaining 31 tools belong to a separate Pipeworx platform, making the tool count an extreme over-scoping for the apparent purpose.
The endoflife subset is complete: list_products, get_product, and get_cycle cover the full lifecycle of discovering and retrieving release/support timelines with no dead ends. The broader Pipeworx toolkit also appears fairly comprehensive for its own domain, but the mixed set makes it hard to assess a single coherent surface.
