list_virtual_keys

Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists Portkey virtual keys to find API key slugs before wiring prompts/configs or auditing usage limits. Returns paginated names, slugs, status, usage and rate limits, reset state, and model config.

Instructions

List provider API keys stored as virtual keys in your Portkey org. Use this to find slugs before wiring prompts/configs or auditing limits. Returns total plus name, slug, status, usage limits, rate limits, reset state, and model config.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real value beyond that by enumerating the returned fields (total, name, slug, status, usage limits, rate limits, reset state, model config), though it says nothing about pagination behavior or result ordering.

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?

Three tight sentences: identity/scope first, then the selection rationale, then return contents. No filler and nothing buried.

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?

For a read-only, zero-required-param list tool with full schema coverage, annotations, and an output schema, the description supplies use cases and a return-content preview. Minor gap: no note on pagination defaults or that results are org-wide rather than filtered.

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 page_size and current_page are fully documented in the schema (including the zero-based paging convention). The description adds no additional parameter guidance, which is the correct baseline when the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('List provider API keys stored as virtual keys in your Portkey org'), which pins down scope to the organization. It does not explicitly distinguish this from the sibling list_api_keys, which is the one ambiguity an agent could trip on.

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?

'Use this to find slugs before wiring prompts/configs or auditing limits' gives two concrete scenarios that select this tool over the get/create/update/delete virtual-key siblings. No explicit when-not or exclusion is given, so it falls short of a 5.

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