List an order's tasks

servicemonster_list_order_tasks
Read-only

Read one page of related records. GET /v1/orders/{id}/tasks.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesServiceMonster record GUID, obtained from a preceding read.
limitNoRecords per page (default25, maximum100 here).
fieldsNoOptional comma-separated field names to return.
wFieldNoOne documented field to filter, e.g. accountName or balanceDue. Requires wValue.
wValueNoFilter value; provide together with wField.
pageIndexNoZero-based page index (default0); advance it to retrieve more records.
wOperatorNoComparison; omit for equality. 'like' matches a substring.

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so 'Read one page' merely restates structured data. Pagination behavior is mentioned but is also fully specified by limit and pageIndex in the schema. No auth needs, result shape, ordering, or edge cases are disclosed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short, front-loaded sentences with no filler. However, the brevity comes at the cost of substance — 'related records' is wasted vagueness where a precise noun would have fit equally well.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple paginated read tool with a fully documented schema and a readOnly annotation, little is strictly required. Still, the description fails to name the returned resource type or clarify that `id` is the order GUID, which is the one thing an agent could get wrong.

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 every parameter (id, limit, fields, wField, wValue, pageIndex, wOperator) is already documented in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning about path-parameter binding or filter semantics, so the baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description says 'Read one page of related records' and gives the endpoint GET /v1/orders/{id}/tasks. The endpoint path implies the resource is order tasks, but the prose itself never says 'tasks' or 'related to this order', leaving the resource name to be inferred. Nothing distinguishes it from the many sibling list_* tools (list_account_tasks, list_order_jobs, list_order_notes).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no statement of when to use this tool versus alternatives such as servicemonster_list_tasks or servicemonster_list_account_tasks, nor any prerequisite or exclusion. The only hint is the endpoint path, which an agent must parse and interpret on its own.

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