github_list_dependabot_alerts

Read-onlyIdempotent

List Dependabot security alerts for GitHub repositories through the Lightbulb MCP server.

Instructions

Github connector operation list_dependabot_alerts (platform tool github.list_dependabot_alerts).

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

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the description does not need to restate safety. It adds some context by noting the governed connector routing and that 'effect' must be read, which aligns with the readOnlyHint. However, the approval_ref explanation about 'resuming a write' is boilerplate that is irrelevant to a read-only operation and adds minor confusion.

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 is reasonably compact and structured: operation identity, a routing constraint, then a clear Args list. The duplicated platform tool reference and the approval_ref write-resume note are mildly extraneous for a read-only operation, but overall the structure is scannable and not bloated.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The description omits the operation-specific details an agent needs to successfully call the GitHub Dependabot list endpoint, such as which fields to supply inside `arguments`. Although an output schema exists, there is no mention of pagination, filtering, or required GitHub context. The presence of several closely related GitHub list-alert siblings makes this gap more significant.

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%, so the description must carry the explanatory burden for parameters. It does provide useful one-line meanings for each wrapper parameter, but it does not explain what should go inside the `arguments` JSON for the actual Dependabot alerts API call (e.g., owner, repository, state, severity). This is a partial compensation: it documents the wrapper fields but not the operation-specific payload.

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 name and description clearly identify a list operation for Dependabot alerts via the GitHub connector. The verb 'list' and resource 'dependabot alerts' are explicit, though buried in connector boilerplate. It does not differentiate from sibling tools like github_list_code_scanning_alerts or github_list_secret_scanning_alerts, so it loses the fifth point.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives, no mention of required GitHub context like owner/repo, and no exclusion criteria. The 'routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority' line is a routing constraint, not usage guidance. The agent is left to infer when this tool is appropriate.

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