list_budget_alerts

List your org's registered budget-spend webhook alerts with their IDs and settings. Requires your service API key on the MCP connection (x-api-key or Authorization: Bearer); only alerts for that key's org are returned.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does reasonably well: it discloses the auth mechanisms accepted, the org-scoping of results, and what the response contains (alert IDs and settings). It stops short of stating that the call is read-only, how results are ordered, whether pagination applies, or what an empty result means.

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 sentences, both earning their place: the first states the action and returned content, the second states the auth prerequisite and scoping rule. The primary purpose is front-loaded with no redundant name restatement.

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 tool with no output schema, the description covers the essentials an agent needs: auth requirements, result scoping, and the shape of returned data. It could be complete with a note on ordering/pagination behavior or empty-result handling, but nothing critical is missing for 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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to explain; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly implies no filtering arguments are needed because scoping is derived from the connection's API key.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource: listing the org's registered budget-spend webhook alerts, including IDs and settings. It is distinguishable from the closest sibling, list_price_alerts, by the explicit 'budget-spend' qualifier, but the description never names or contrasts that sibling, so differentiation is inferred rather than stated.

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?

The precondition that a service API key must be present on the connection (x-api-key or Bearer) is useful usage context, and it implies only that org's alerts come back. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of when not to use it, and no reference to alternatives such as list_price_alerts or the register/delete_budget_alert siblings.

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