List brands

list_brands
Read-onlyIdempotent

[read-only] Lists the brands this connection can file content into and publish through. Use an id as brandId on create_content, publish, queues and analytics tools; "personal" means the account owner's personal accounts. A connection bound to one brand sees only that brand (and personal is null). Each brand has its website and a setup checklist (hasBrandKey, hasWebsite, hasCtaGoal, adsConnected): set a missing website with brand_profile_update; a brand API key is created by the owner in Settings, never by an agent. (Wraps GET /api/v2/brands.)

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint/idempotentHint annotations, it discloses connection-level visibility scoping, the meaning of the 'personal' entry, and an important authority constraint (brand API key is created by the owner in Settings, never by an agent). It stops short of describing pagination or failure behavior, but the added context is substantial for a zero-parameter read.

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-loaded with purpose, then downstream usage, then edge cases, with the API endpoint in a trailing parenthetical. It is dense and information-rich, though the setup-checklist enumeration packs several field names into one long clause and could be split for faster scanning.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining return shape, and it does so by naming the website field and the setup checklist keys. Combined with connection-scoping and the API-key ownership rule, an agent has everything needed to call it and interpret the result.

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?

The tool takes no parameters, so baseline is 4. The description compensates usefully by explaining the semantics of the returned id and the 'personal' sentinel value, which are the closest thing to input semantics this tool has.

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 specific verb and resource ('Lists the brands this connection can file content into and publish through') and immediately scopes it to the current connection, which distinguishes it cleanly from peers like brand_profile_get or list_connected_accounts.

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?

Gives explicit downstream usage ('Use an `id` as `brandId` on create_content, publish, queues and analytics tools') and routes the agent elsewhere for related work ('set a missing website with brand_profile_update'). It also explains the single-brand connection edge case where personal is null, covering the when-and-what-changes conditions an agent needs.

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