list_mcp_servers

Read-onlyIdempotent

Discover organization MCP servers with paginated results and total counts, enabling you to find server IDs for further details or integration lookups.

Instructions

List MCP servers in the organization. Returns paginated server records plus total for discovering server IDs; use get_mcp_server for one server's details and list_mcp_integrations for the parent integration.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already carry readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive context, so the description adds value by disclosing that the call returns paginated server records plus a total, and that scoping is at the organization level. This goes beyond the structured hints without contradicting them.

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 with no filler: the primary action and return shape are front-loaded, and sibling differentiators follow in the same sentence. Every clause contributes.

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 paginated list tool with full parameter documentation, an output schema, and safety annotations, the description covers purpose, scope, return shape, and sibling relationships. Nothing needed for correct invocation is 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?

The input schema already documents all three parameters with descriptions and 100% coverage. The description's mention of pagination reinforces the page_size/current_page semantics but does not add detail beyond what the schema provides, so the 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?

Opens with a specific verb and resource ('List MCP servers in the organization') and immediately differentiates from siblings by naming get_mcp_server for details and list_mcp_integrations for the parent integration. An agent can tell exactly what this tool returns and how it differs from nearby read tools.

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?

Explicitly states when to use this tool (discovering server IDs via paginated listing) and names the two alternatives with their intended purposes. This is direct routing guidance rather than leaving usage to inference.

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