list_providers

Read-onlyIdempotent

List workspace-scoped provider instances with their status, limits, expiration, and reset flags. Find provider slugs for workspace-level updates; use list_integrations for org-level source connections.

Instructions

List workspace-scoped provider instances and their limits or status. Use this to find provider slugs for workspace-level updates; use list_integrations for the org-level source connection. Returns total plus provider name, slug, integration, status, limits, expiration, and reset flags.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context about workspace scoping and the output fields returned (total, name, slug, integration, status, limits, expiration, reset flags), going beyond what annotations alone provide.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded, with the core purpose in the first sentence and usage guidance plus return fields in the second. Every sentence adds relevant information without redundancy.

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?

Given the annotations, complete parameter schema, and presence of an output schema, the description covers what the tool does, when to use it versus list_integrations, and what results to expect. Nothing critical is missing for an agent to invoke it correctly.

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 three parameters are already documented with their meanings, defaults, and constraints. The description only lightly reinforces the workspace-scoped nature of the data but does not add substantial meaning beyond 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?

The description clearly states the tool lists workspace-scoped provider instances with limits and status, using a specific verb and resource. It explicitly distinguishes this from list_integrations, so an agent can differentiate the two tools without inspecting schemas.

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 gives explicit guidance: use this tool to find provider slugs for workspace-level updates, and use list_integrations for the org-level source connection. This directly tells the agent when to choose this tool over the relevant alternative.

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