GHE Workflows: List

ghe_workflow_list
Read-only

List all GitHub Actions workflows of a repository with their ID, name, path, state (active/disabled_manually/etc.), and URL. Use this to discover available workflows before triggering one.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
repoYesRepository name or full owner/name slug. Prefer owner/name when known so routing never depends on a workspace default.
ownerNoOptional GitHub org/user. A full repo slug (owner/name) takes precedence; otherwise the active workspace default org is used.
context_idNoOptional explicit Connection Hub work context (ctx_*). Omit to use the conversation's active workspace; global Hub tools ignore it.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYes
dataYes
contractVersionYes
dataSchemaVersionYes

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the agent knows this is a safe read-only listing operation. The description reinforces the list scope and returned workflow metadata, but does not add deeper behavioral details like pagination, filtering behavior, or permission requirements. With annotations and an output schema present, a 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description is two sentences, front-loads the core list operation and returned fields, and then gives the primary usage reason. There is no redundant or wasted text.

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?

This is a simple read-only list tool with three fully documented parameters, annotations covering safety, and an output schema for return values. The description supplies the essential purpose and usage context; a small gap remains around pagination or filtering behavior, but the tool is otherwise complete for correct invocation.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all three parameters — repo, owner, and context_id — are fully documented in the input schema. The description only implicitly references the repository and adds no extra parameter semantics beyond the schema, so this hits the baseline of 3.

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 states a specific verb and resource — 'List all GitHub Actions workflows of a repository' — and enumerates the returned fields (ID, name, path, state, URL). It also distinguishes the tool's role from triggering workflows by saying to discover workflows before triggering one.

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?

The description gives a clear usage context: use it to discover available workflows before triggering one. It does not explicitly name or rule out sibling alternatives such as ghe_workflow_runs_list, but the intended use case is clear.

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