quickbooks_list_classes

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve QuickBooks classes (tracking categories) from a connected account through the Lightbulb MCP server for reporting, filtering, and transaction categorization.

Instructions

Quickbooks connector operation list_classes (platform tool quickbooks.list_classes).

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

C2.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds a note about routing through connector authority, but does not provide additional behavioral context beyond that, so it relies on the annotations.

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 brief and well-structured, with a clear list of parameters. It avoids unnecessary detail and is easy to scan.

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?

It fails to explain what QuickBooks classes are, what the output looks like, or how to construct the arguments. The output schema exists but is not described, and there is no usage context or example, making it incomplete for a complex connector operation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The description provides brief one-liners for each parameter, but they are generic (e.g., 'arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation') and do not explain operation-specific parameters. With 0% schema description coverage, this is insufficient for understanding what arguments are needed for listing classes.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description identifies it as a QuickBooks connector operation named `list_classes`, which implies it retrieves classes, but it does not explicitly state what classes are or that it returns a list. The phrase about routing through connector authority is about authorization, not purpose.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus other list tools, no prerequisites, no typical scenarios. The description is entirely generic and provides no selection criteria.

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