Get uploaded response files

limesurvey_get_uploaded_files
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve uploaded file metadata and base64 content for a survey participant token or response.

Instructions

Return uploaded file metadata and base64 content for a token or response.

Calls LimeSurvey RemoteControl method get_uploaded_files. Authentication uses the configured service account; do not provide a session key.

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 that it returns file metadata and base64 content but does not disclose further behavioral details like rate limits or response structure beyond what annotations imply.

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?

Two efficient sentences with no wasted words. Key information is front-loaded.

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 the presence of an output schema, the description sufficiently covers purpose and authentication. However, it could clarify the relationship between token and response_id usage.

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 input schema fully documents all 4 parameters. The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states it returns uploaded file metadata and base64 content for a token or response, using a specific verb and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like upload_file or delete_response.

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?

The description mentions it calls a specific RC method and notes that authentication uses the configured service account without needing a session key. However, it does not provide explicit when-use or when-not-use guidance compared to alternatives.

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