image_list

Read-only

List content-library images in Nutanix Prism Central with ID, name, type, size, and cluster placement for inventory checks.

Instructions

[READ] List content-library images (extId, name, type, size, cluster placement).

Args:
    limit: Max rows to return (default 500). The result reports
        `returned`, `limit`, and `truncated` so a capped read is visible.
    target: Prism Central target name from config; omit for the default.

A3.9/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a genuinely useful behavioral trait beyond the annotations: that a capped read surfaces `returned`, `limit`, and `truncated`, making truncation visible to the caller. Auth needs and rate limits are not addressed, but the truncation disclosure is meaningful added context.

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?

The purpose is front-loaded after the [READ] tag, and the Args block is compact with no filler. Only mild redundancy between the summary field list and the parameter notes keeps it from being maximally tight.

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 simple two-parameter read tool with no output schema, the definition covers purpose, both parameters, and truncation behavior adequately. It lacks routing guidance relative to sibling listing tools, which is the only notable gap.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the burden and does so well: it documents both parameters, explaining that limit defaults to 500 and drives the truncation reporting, and that target is a Prism Central name that may be omitted for the default. It adds meaning beyond the bare types in the schema.

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 (List) and resource (content-library images), and even enumerates the returned fields (extId, name, type, size, cluster placement). This is precise enough to distinguish it from siblings like image_delete or the various other *_list tools without opening any schema.

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 when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative-tool guidance. The [READ] tag and target parameter hint at context, but nothing tells the agent when this tool is the right choice versus vm_list, snapshot_list, or other listing siblings.

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