list_tweaks

Read-only

Retrieve a paginated list of format-preserving encryption tweaks, filterable by name and status, with cursor-based pagination for large datasets.

Instructions

List FPE tweaks for the organization.

Tweaks are named random values used in format-preserving encryption. Results are paginated; use contiguous_id from the response to fetch subsequent pages.

Input Schema

contiguous_idNoPagination cursor returned by a prior call.
limitNoMax number of tweaks to return.
containNoFilter tweaks whose name contains this substring.
statusNoFilter by status — "active", "deactivated", or "any" (default "any").

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint: true, so the description doesn't need to restate that. It adds value by disclosing pagination behavior and how to fetch subsequent pages, which goes beyond the annotation.

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 sentences, front-loading the purpose and then providing essential pagination details. No wasted words.

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 and 100% parameter coverage, the description adequately covers what an agent needs to know: the resource type, pagination mechanism, and the fact that results are filtered by the provided parameters. It could mention filtering options, but those are in the schema.

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% with descriptive parameter names and descriptions. The tool description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, which is acceptable for a list operation. Baseline 3 applies.

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 tool lists FPE tweaks for the organization, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings like create_tweak or get_tweak by indicating a listing operation.

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 includes pagination instructions but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_tweak or create_tweak. No when-not-to-use or alternative tool mentions.

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