List Memories

pathrule_list_memories
Read-only

List active memories attached to a specific Pathrule tree node. Use pathrule_get_context, pathrule_goto, or pathrule_get_node first to discover the node_id. Returns compact previews only; call pathrule_read_memory with a memory_id when you need the full body.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
node_idYesTree node UUID returned by pathrule_get_node, pathrule_goto, or the workspace tree.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYestrue when the call succeeded. false when it did not, in which case `error` carries the reason and the success fields are absent.
errorNoPresent only when ok is false.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Discloses the output is 'compact previews only' and that the list covers 'active' memories, adding behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation. It does not discuss pagination or limits, but for a read-only list tool the annotation already covers the safety profile.

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 sentences, each earning its place: purpose, prerequisite discovery step, and return behavior plus fallback tool. Front-loaded and free of filler.

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?

For a single-required-parameter read-only tool with an output schema present, the description covers discovery of the parameter, the preview-only nature of results, and the path to the full-body sibling. Nothing critical is missing.

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 for node_id is 100% and the schema already says it is a tree-node UUID returned by the discovery tools. The description repeats this rather than adding new parameter-level detail, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 precise verb-resource pair: 'List active memories attached to a specific Pathrule tree node.' It distinguishes itself from pathrule_read_memory by noting this returns compact previews only, so an agent can tell which operation it needs.

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?

Explicitly tells the agent to call pathrule_get_context, pathrule_goto, or pathrule_get_node first to obtain the node_id, and to switch to pathrule_read_memory when the full memory body is required. This is concrete when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance naming sibling tools.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Tools are grouped by resource (memory/rule/skill/workspace/snapshot/refresh) and mostly have distinct output shapes, so agents can usually pick the right one. A few retrieval tools (get_context, get_node, get_tree, goto) overlap in purpose, but their descriptions clarify resolution mode vs full tree vs context bundle.

Naming Consistency3/5

All tools share the pathrule_ prefix and mostly follow verb_noun, but the verbs are inconsistent: create_workspace vs write_memory, get_node vs read_memory, delete_skill vs remove_pattern, plus verb-only exceptions like goto, setup, and ping. The pattern is readable but not uniform.

Tool Count2/5

32 tools is above the 25-tool threshold and feels heavy for a single server, even with a broad domain. Several context-retrieval tools and read/list variants could potentially be consolidated, though each tool does have a specific purpose.

Completeness4/5

Core CRUD is covered for memories, rules, and skills, along with workspaces, snapshots, refresh tasks, and pattern import/removal. Minor gaps include no standalone list_rules/list_skills and no snapshot update/delete, but agents can work around these via get_context, goto, and get_tree.
