project_list

Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists available projects with ID, name, CRS, vertical datum, length unit, and creation time, enabling you to identify and select the right project.

Instructions

List projects in this results home: id, name, CRS, vertical datum, length unit, creation time. Read-only.

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so 'Read-only' is pure repetition. The one genuine addition is the field list, which tells the agent what comes back on a tool with no output schema. Nothing is said about ordering, pagination, or behavior on an empty home.

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?

One front-loaded sentence plus a two-word safety tag. Every element earns its place and nothing is buried.

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?

With no output schema, listing the returned fields is exactly the right compensation, and annotations cover the safety profile. The remaining gap is list behavior at scale — ordering and whether results are truncated — which an agent might reasonably need.

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 coverage is 100% and the single parameter is an empty nested 'request' object with no properties, so there is little semantic gap to fill. The description adds nothing about the requested arguments, which is acceptable given the schema already documents them as empty.

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?

Specific verb+resource ('List projects') with the scope ('this results home') and an explicit enumeration of returned fields. Implicitly distinguished from the singular sibling project_inspect, though the description never names it.

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?

No when-to-use guidance and no named alternatives, even though project_inspect and project_create sit directly adjacent in the sibling list. The only contextual cue is the phrase 'in this results home', which hints at scope but doesn't route the agent.

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