list_secret_references

Read-onlyIdempotent

List secret references—without exposing authentication configuration or secret values—and filter by manager type, tags, or name. Use a returned UUID or slug with get_secret_reference.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 genuine behavioral value beyond that by disclosing the redaction guarantee (no auth config, no resolved secret values) and the follow-up chaining path, which the annotations do not convey.

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 zero filler. The most important fact (what the list deliberately omits) is front-loaded, and the secondary workflow hint follows compactly.

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 present, return values need not be described, and annotations cover the read-only/idempotent profile. The description closes the main remaining gap by explaining the redaction boundary and how to proceed to get_secret_reference. It does not mention pagination behavior, but the schema covers page_size/current_page and the output schema likely covers the envelope.

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 fully documents the five parameters (tags, search, page_size, current_page, manager_type including its enum). The description only restates the filterable fields (manager type, tags, name) without adding syntax, defaults, or edge-case meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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+resource ('List Secret References') and immediately scopes it by declaring what is NOT returned (authentication configuration, resolved secret values), which disambiguates it from get_secret_reference. It also names the sibling and the handoff key (UUID or slug), so an agent can distinguish it without opening a schema.

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 clear context: filter by manager type, tags, or name, and hand a returned UUID/slug to get_secret_reference. It effectively routes the agent toward the sibling for detail retrieval. It stops short of stating explicit when-not-to-use conditions or prerequisites.

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