List organizations

list_organizations
Read-onlyIdempotent

Every organization you are a member of, with your role and its member count. An organization that requires its own single sign-on, which this session has not used, is listed by name only. Each has an id to pass as organization_id to the other tools; is_sandbox marks a sandbox with sample data.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the bar is lower, yet the description adds real behavioral context the annotations cannot: orgs requiring unused SSO appear by name only, so the result may be partial, and is_sandbox marks sample data. It does not mention ordering or any cap on result size, which is a minor gap for a read tool.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with what the agent gets, then the important SSO caveat, then the practical id-handoff. Nothing is repeated from the title or annotations and no sentence is filler.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description carries the return-shape burden and does so: role, member count, id, is_sandbox, and name-only for SSO-protected orgs. Missing only ordering/pagination hints, which is minor for a small membership list.

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?

With zero input parameters the baseline is 4, and the description goes beyond that by explaining the meaning of returned fields (`id`, `is_sandbox`) and how `id` is consumed elsewhere. No further parameter semantics exist to document.

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?

The description clearly states the resource (organizations the caller is a member of) and the payload (your role, member count), which an agent can distinguish from all the other list_* siblings that target different resources. It stops short of explicitly contrasting itself with status_across_organizations, the nearest sibling, but the scope is unambiguous.

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?

'Each has an `id` to pass as organization_id to the other tools' tells the agent this is the discovery/entry-point call and how its output feeds downstream tools. There are no explicit when-not conditions, but for a zero-parameter enumeration tool there is little ambiguity about alternatives.

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