Listar el contenido de un archivo ZIP

list_zip_contents
Read-only

List files and sizes inside a remote ZIP archive over HTTP without downloading the whole file. Supports large archives and pagination.

Instructions

List a remote ZIP's members (name, size) via HTTP Range requests, without downloading it; works for archives far beyond 5 MB. No ZIP64.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With readOnlyHint/openWorldHint already covering the safety profile, the description adds real behavioral context: it uses HTTP Range requests, avoids a full download, scales past 5 MB, and discloses a limitation ('No ZIP64'). The limitation note is exactly the kind of trait annotations cannot 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?

A single tight sentence front-loads verb and resource, then attaches mechanism, capability, and limitation with no filler. Every clause carries information.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value detail like '(name, size)' is redundant but harmless, and the safety semantics are covered by annotations. The description supplies the mechanism and the ZIP64 caveat, leaving little an agent would need to call this 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 url, limit, format, and offset are already documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter syntax or format detail beyond what is present, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 a remote ZIP's members') with the returned fields (name, size) called out. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like download_resource, but the tool's purpose is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'without downloading it' implies the intended scenario (inspecting a remote archive cheaply), which gives usable context. However, it never names download_resource or another alternative, nor states when this tool is the wrong choice, so guidance remains implied rather than explicit.

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