List Power_panels

netbox_list_power_panels
Read-onlyIdempotent

List power distribution panels at a site with pagination and filtering options to narrow results by name, site, location, or date range.

Instructions

List power distribution panels at a site from NetBox.

Supports pagination and filtering. Common patterns:

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

  • Lookup by id: use netbox_get_power_panel 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:

  • name: Exact panel name.

  • site_id: Filter by site id.

  • location_id: Filter by location 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).
nameNoExact panel name.
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.
site_idNoFilter by site id.
location_idNoFilter by location id.
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
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool as read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds auto-truncation behavior and pagination details (has_more, next_offset), exceeding what annotations provide. No contradictions.

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?

Well-structured with clear sections (headline, patterns, pagination, filters, returns). Every sentence adds value. Concise for the amount of information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

All 10 parameters are covered in schema; description adds return shape, pagination limits, and truncation behavior. No output schema needed. Complete for a list tool with good annotations.

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 coverage is 100%, baseline 3. Description adds value by categorizing filters (resource-specific vs. universal) and explaining pagination parameters' effects (max 1000, auto-truncation). Does not merely repeat 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 the action (list) and resource (power distribution panels at a site) and distinguishes from netbox_get_power_panel for ID lookups. Common patterns like discovery and narrow scan reinforce purpose.

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 recommends netbox_get_power_panel as alternative for ID lookup, and provides patterns for discovery and narrow scans. Pagination and truncation behavior are also explained, guiding correct invocation.

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