smokeball_list_tasks

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve tasks from Smokeball for a project by passing the project and connector account references. Returns the available task list for the authenticated project.

Instructions

Smokeball connector operation list_tasks (platform tool smokeball.list_tasks).

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

C2.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds useful context that the call routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority and that Spring verifies the required 'read' effect. There is no contradiction with 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 compact, uses a clear bulleted arg list, and front-loads the platform tool mapping. Each line adds a routing or parameter detail. The 'Routes only through...' phrasing is jargon-dense but does serve as a single-purpose governance constraint.

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?

With an output schema and strong annotations, the description does not need to explain return values. Still, it lacks guidance on when to select this tool, how to construct the arguments JSON, and how the routing fields interrelate. For a thin connector-wrapper with all parameters glossed, it is minimally adequate but not complete.

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 compensate; it does provide a one-line gloss for all seven parameters. However, the 'arguments' gloss is circular ('JSON string of arguments for the connector operation') and does not explain expected payload structure or required field combinations. The routing-field meanings are helpful but incomplete for constructing a valid call.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description identifies the tool as 'Smokeball connector operation list_tasks' and maps it to the platform tool name, but it never actually states that the operation lists tasks or what those tasks are. Without relying on the tool name, an agent cannot determine the domain entity or result. It also does not differentiate from sibling list tools like list_crm_tasks or clio_list_tasks.

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 use this tool versus alternatives. The sentence about routing through the governed connector authority is a constraint, not a usage context. The agent is left to infer that this is the Smokeball task-listing tool among many similar list tools.

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