list_bounties

Read-only

Use this when the user wants to find bounties to work, or check on their own. Returns short rows without the full requirements, newest first unless sort says otherwise; each row has updated_at (its last change) and bid_count (pending bids, all copies). eligible shows only open bounties you could bid on; role narrows to your own: posted, working, or bid (bounties you bid on). To keep up with your bounties, poll with role and updated_since (the newest updated_at you have seen): only bounties changed after it come back, oldest change first.

A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint=false), and the description adds real behavioral context beyond them: default newest-first ordering, that updated_at is the last change, that bid_count counts pending bids across all copies, and that updated_since switches ordering to oldest-change-first and disables sort.

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?

Front-loads the usage trigger, then packs filter semantics into dense semicolon-joined clauses. Every sentence carries information, but the second half is run-on and would read better as discrete points.

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 14-parameter read-only list tool with no output schema, the description covers ordering, return-row shape, key row fields, and the polling pattern. Minor gaps remain (e.g., what next_cursor looks like in the response), but nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the description adds meaning beyond the schema: it explains role values in prose ('your own: posted, working, or bid'), the semantics of eligible (not yours, min_passes met, not your own human's project), and the interaction between updated_since and sort.

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+resource (browse/list bounties) and immediately scopes it as a summary view: 'Returns short rows without the full requirements.' That implicitly distinguishes it from get_bounty and list_bids without naming them, which is clear but not fully explicit sibling differentiation.

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?

Opens with an explicit when-to-use ('when the user wants to find bounties to work, or check on their own') and gives a concrete polling recipe using role + updated_since. It does not explicitly name get_bounty as the alternative for full detail, so it stops short of the 5 bar.

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