List projects

projects_list
Read-only

List provisioned backend projects in a billing account to retrieve IDs, names, regions, statuses, API URLs, and creation dates, so you can connect to or delete a project.

Instructions

List the projects (provisioned backend instances) in a billing account. Requires platform login and an active billing account (set one with 'accounts_use'). Returns each project's id, name, description, region, org id, status (Initializing/Provisioning/Active/Suspended/Terminated/Error), API URL, and creation date. Use this to find a project's id before connecting with 'projects_use' or removing it with 'projects_delete'.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
accountIdNoBilling account id to list projects for. Defaults to the active account set via 'accounts_use'.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable context beyond that: authentication requirements (platform login) and prerequisite state (active billing account). It also enumerates return fields including status values, which helps the agent understand the output. It does not mention pagination or rate limits, but that is a minor gap given the annotation coverage.

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?

Front-loads the core purpose, then follows with prerequisites, return values, and usage in a logical order. Every sentence earns its place: no repetition, no filler, and the long return list is informative rather than wasteful.

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?

For a list tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is complete: it covers prerequisites, return fields (substituting for an absent output schema), and cross-references to sibling tools for next steps. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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 schema already fully documents the single optional accountId parameter including its default behavior. The description reinforces the 'active billing account' concept but does not add syntax, format, or edge-case details beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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?

States a specific verb ('List') and resource ('projects'), defines the domain term ('provisioned backend instances'), and distinguishes clearly from sibling tools like projects_create, projects_use, and projects_delete. An agent can tell exactly what this tool does without opening the schema.

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 states when to use it ('to find a project's id before connecting with projects_use or removing it with projects_delete') and lists prerequisites (platform login, active billing account set via accounts_use). Covers both 'when' and 'what you need', leaving nothing to inference.

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