monday_list_boards

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve Monday.com board data through your authenticated project connector for read-only access to board information.

Instructions

Monday connector operation list_boards (platform tool monday.list_boards).

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

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description adds some behavioral context beyond the annotations, such as explaining the 'effect' parameter must be 'read' and the role of 'idempotency_key'. However, the note on 'approval_ref' for 'resuming a write' is incongruent with the readOnlyHint annotation and may confuse agents, detracting from transparency. Overall, it provides partial detail but not a complete picture of behaviors.

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?

The description is concise and efficiently structured with a short opening line followed by a bulleted list of parameters. Every sentence adds value—no redundant or filler content. The front-loading of the operation name and routing statement provides immediate context, making it easy to scan.

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 simple list operation, the description adequately explains the parameters and the routing constraint. Since the output schema is present (though not shown in the prompt), the description does not need to detail return values. It could mention that the tool returns a list of boards, but the name and general pattern make that implicit. Overall, it provides enough context for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema provides only names and types with zero description coverage, so the description carries the full burden. It offers meaningful explanations for all seven parameters, such as 'arguments' as a JSON string, 'project_id' as the authenticated UUID, and 'connector_account_ref' as the project-bound alias. This compensates for the sparse schema and gives agents a clear understanding of each parameter's role.

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 'list_boards' clearly indicates the action (list) and resource (boards), and the description identifies it as a Monday connector operation. However, the description does not explicitly state that it retrieves a list of Monday boards, relying on the name and the term 'connector operation' rather than a plain-language purpose statement.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus other list_* tools (e.g., list_crm_tasks, list_artifacts) or any alternative. It only mentions routing constraints ('Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority'), which is about authorization, not usage context. Without explicit usage criteria, an agent cannot easily decide when to invoke this tool.

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