list_collections

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve prompt collections in a workspace, filter by name or workspace, and get IDs, names, slugs, parent IDs, and timestamps to select a collection before creating or fetching 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.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is fully covered by structured data. The description adds the returned field set, but with an output schema present that information is largely redundant rather than new behavioral insight.

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 tight sentences with the core purpose front-loaded and the payoff (getting a collection_id for follow-up calls) second. No filler.

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 rich annotations, a fully documented schema, and an output schema in place, the description covers everything the agent needs to select and invoke the tool, including the follow-up workflow it feeds.

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 are already documented in the schema. The description's 'optionally filtering by name or workspace' loosely maps to search and workspace_id but adds no format, pagination, or boundary detail beyond the schema. 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 scope ('in the workspace'), and the optional filters are named. It is clearly distinguishable from create_collection, update_collection, and get_collection among the siblings.

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?

Explicitly tells the agent why to call it: to obtain a collection_id before create_prompt, get_collection, or list_prompts. This is concrete downstream routing, though it stops short of stating when NOT to use it (e.g. when the id is already known).

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