list_collections

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve prompt collections in a workspace and filter by name or workspace to get collection IDs, names, and slugs for selecting a collection before creating or listing prompts.

Instructions

List prompt collections in the workspace, optionally filtering by name or workspace. Returns ids, names, slugs, parent collection ids, and timestamps so you can choose a collection_id before create_prompt, get_collection, or list_prompts.

Input Schema

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the returned field set, but that is largely duplicated by the output schema, and it says nothing about pagination behavior or whether archived collections are included — real gaps for a paged list tool.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the operation and followed by the downstream use. No filler or restated title.

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?

With an output schema, rich annotations, and full parameter coverage, the definition gives an agent everything needed to call it and act on the result. Only minor omissions remain (pagination defaults, inclusion of archived collections), so it is near-complete rather than airtight.

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 all four parameters (search, page_size, current_page, workspace_id) are already documented with constraints. The description's "filtering by name or workspace" only loosely paraphrases search and workspace_id and adds no format or pagination guidance beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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 ("List prompt collections") plus the optional filtering axes. It also names the sibling endpoints that follow from its result (create_prompt, get_collection, list_prompts), so an agent can place it precisely in the workflow.

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?

Gives a clear when-to-use rationale: call it to obtain a collection_id before create_prompt, get_collection, or list_prompts. It doesn't state exclusions (e.g. when to prefer a direct get_collection if the id is already known), so it stops short of full guidance.

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