freshbooks_list_invoices

Read-onlyIdempotent

List FreshBooks invoices from your connected account to review billing data and synchronize records through the authorized connector.

Instructions

Freshbooks connector operation list_invoices (platform tool freshbooks.list_invoices).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Required and must be read; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful context about governed routing and that Spring verifies the `effect` must be 'read', which is value beyond the annotations. Mentioning `approval_ref` for writes is slightly out of place on a read operation but not contradictory.

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?

The description front-loads the operation identity, states the governance constraint, then presents a compact argument list. It is efficient with no real filler, though the opening sentence partly restates the tool name.

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?

The output schema and annotations cover return values and the safety profile, so the description does not need to repeat those. However, it omits operation-specific behavior such as pagination, filtering, default scope, and what fields the `arguments` JSON expects, which is a meaningful gap for a tool with 0% schema description coverage.

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 0%, and the description does assign semantic labels to all seven parameters, which is meaningful. However, the key `arguments` parameter is only described as 'JSON string of arguments for the connector operation', so the agent gets no concrete guidance on what Freshbooks list-invoice options belong inside that JSON.

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?

The description identifies the tool as the Freshbooks connector's `list_invoices` operation, giving a clear verb and resource. It is somewhat redundant with the tool name, but the 'Freshbooks connector' qualifier and 'list_invoices' make the purpose 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 Freshbooks qualifier and 'Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority' imply when this tool applies, but there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not-to-use guidance. No sibling tools or alternative accounting connectors are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer selection from the name.

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