List Circuit_group_assignments

netbox_list_circuit_group_assignments
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve circuit group memberships from NetBox with pagination and filters such as group ID, tags, and creation dates.

Instructions

List circuit group memberships from NetBox.

Supports pagination and filtering. Common patterns:

  • Discovery: call with no filters to browse the first circuit_group_assignments.

  • Lookup by id: use netbox_get_circuit_group_assignment instead when you already have an id.

  • Narrow scan: combine 'q' (fuzzy text) with resource-specific filters below.

Pagination:

  • 'limit' (max 1000, default 50) and 'offset'. Response includes 'has_more' and 'next_offset'.

  • Large list responses auto-truncate to keep under the character limit; keep calling with next_offset to continue.

Resource-specific filters:

  • group_id:

Universal filters:

  • q (string) Fuzzy text search across searchable fields.

  • tag (string[]) AND-filter by tag slugs.

  • created_after (date) ISO-8601 lower bound on 'created'.

  • created_before (date) ISO-8601 upper bound on 'created'.

Returns: Markdown summary (default) or JSON with shape: { total, count, offset, limit, items: [...], has_more, next_offset? }

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qNoFuzzy full-text search across the object's searchable fields (name, description, etc.).
tagNoFilter to objects that have ALL of these tag slugs. Repeat for multiple tags (AND semantics in NetBox).
limitNoMaximum number of items to return per page (1-1000, default 50).
offsetNoNumber of items to skip for pagination. Use next_offset from a previous response.
group_idNo
created_afterNoISO-8601 date; only return objects created on or after this date (e.g. 2024-01-01).
created_beforeNoISO-8601 date; only return objects created on or before this date.
response_formatNoOutput format: 'markdown' (default, human-readable) or 'json' (full structured payload). Use 'json' when chaining follow-up tool calls.markdown
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations, such as pagination behavior (limit/max, auto-truncation), response format options (Markdown vs JSON), and that large responses auto-truncate. No contradictions. Adds significant value.

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?

Description is well-structured with clear sections (purpose, common patterns, pagination, filters, returns). Every sentence is informative and earns its place. No redundancies or fluff.

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?

The description covers pagination, filtering, and response format. It provides the JSON shape (total, count, items, etc.). However, without an output schema, it does not describe the fields inside each item (e.g., what a circuit group assignment contains). This is a gap for a tool with 8 parameters and no output schema.

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?

Schema description coverage is high (88%). The description adds value by explaining common patterns (discovery, lookup, narrow scan) and provides guidance on response_format ('Use json when chaining follow-up tool calls'). It reiterates some schema info but adds contextual usage tips.

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 'List circuit group memberships from NetBox.' It distinguishes between discovery (no filters), lookup by ID (recommending netbox_get_circuit_group_assignment), and narrow scan (using filters). This is a specific verb+resource with differentiation from siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly provides when to use this tool vs alternatives: 'Lookup by id: use netbox_get_circuit_group_assignment instead when you already have an id.' Also explains pagination usage and narrowing scans. Clear guidance without ambiguity.

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