list_timelines

List campaign timelines with pagination, filter records by empty or filled entries, and shrink responses by omitting long entry text.

Instructions

List timelines. Use per_page to keep responses small enough to be returned whole, and entry_filter to return only records whose entry is empty or filled.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageNoPage number (default 1).
entriesNoInclude full entry/entry_parsed text (default true). Set false to omit the long entry fields, shrink the response, and get a has_entry boolean per record instead.
per_pageNoRecords per page, 1-100. Enforced by this server, so it holds even when the Kanka API returns a different page size. Omit to return the API's own page untouched; when set (or when entry_filter is used) the default is 25 with entries, 100 without.
campaignIdYes
entry_filterNoKeep only records with an empty entry ('empty'), only records with text ('filled'), or all of them ('all', default). Filtering is applied across the whole collection, not just one API page.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses that oversized responses may not be returned whole and that filtering applies collection-wide, but it says nothing about read-only status, permissions, or what a timeline record contains.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action and followed by the two most consequential knobs. Nearly zero waste, though the entry_filter clause is somewhat redundant with the schema.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a five-parameter list tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers response-size management but omits pagination behavior, return shape, and safety profile. Adequate but with clear gaps given the complexity.

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 coverage is 80%, so most parameters are already documented in the schema. The description highlights per_page and entry_filter but largely restates their schema meaning rather than adding new constraints or formats, so the baseline of 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 timelines'), which an agent can distinguish from get_timeline/create_timeline by naming convention. It does not explicitly name those siblings, so differentiation is implied rather than stated.

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 concrete operational guidance: use per_page to keep responses small enough to be returned whole, and use entry_filter to narrow by entry state. It offers no explicit when-not or comparison against get_timeline/search, 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.
