overleaf_list_files

Read-only

Lists all files and folders in an Overleaf project by project ID, URL, or exact name, distinguishing editable text documents from binary assets.

Instructions

List every file and folder of a project. 'doc' = editable text, 'file' = binary/asset.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already establish that this is a read-only, open-world operation. The description adds useful scope with 'every file and folder' and explains the 'doc' versus 'file' item meanings, but it does not mention ordering, recursion depth, hidden files, or pagination behavior.

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 two compact sentences with zero wasted wording. It is front-loaded with the main action and uses the second sentence efficiently to explain the returned item types.

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?

Given a single documented parameter, read-only annotations, and an output schema, the description is largely complete for this simple listing tool. It still leaves minor behavioral details such as recursion and pagination unstated, so it is not fully exhaustive.

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 100%, so the single required 'project' parameter is already fully documented in the schema. The description does not add any parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema provides, making 3 the appropriate baseline.

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 states a specific verb and resource: list every file and folder of a project. That clearly separates it from reading a single file or listing projects, though it does not explicitly name sibling alternatives.

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?

Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is for inspecting project structure before reading or modifying files. There is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no named alternative.

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