list_guardrails

Read-onlyIdempotent

List guardrails in your organization, showing ID, slug, status, and ownership. Filter by workspace or organization to locate specific guardrail IDs before updating or deleting them.

Instructions

List guardrails in the org with id, slug, status, ownership, and optional workspace/org filters. Use this to find IDs and slugs before get_guardrail, update_guardrail, or delete_guardrail.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context by stating this lists guardrails at the org level and supports optional workspace/org filtering, without contradicting the annotations.

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 short sentences with no filler. The first sentence states the core purpose and returned fields; the second sentence gives actionable usage guidance. Every word earns its place.

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?

For a simple list tool, the description is complete: it states the resource, return fields, applicable filters, and the downstream tools that depend on it. The pagination parameters are fully documented in the schema, and an output schema exists, so no return-format details are missing.

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 the schema already documents all four parameters. The description adds only minor semantic value by mentioning 'optional workspace/org filters', but it does not add meaningful detail beyond what the parameter descriptions already provide.

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?

The description uses a specific verb ('List') and identifies the resource ('guardrails') plus the fields returned (id, slug, status, ownership). It clearly distinguishes this list operation from singleton operations like get_guardrail, update_guardrail, and delete_guardrail, which are named as siblings.

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?

The description explicitly states when to use this tool: before get_guardrail, update_guardrail, or delete_guardrail, to discover IDs and slugs. This gives clear routing guidance and names the downstream alternatives that require the output of this tool.

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