paperclip_list_companies

Read-only

Retrieve a paginated list of all companies accessible to the authenticated board user. Supports limit, offset, and output format options.

Instructions

⚠ Board-only: List all companies accessible to the authenticated board user.

Args:

  • limit: number (optional) — Max companies per page (1–100, default 50)

  • offset: number (optional) — Number of companies to skip (default 0)

  • response_format: 'markdown' | 'json' (optional) — Output format (default: markdown)

Returns: Pagination envelope { items: Company[], total, count, offset, limit, has_more, next_offset }. Each item: id, name, description, status, issuePrefix, budgetMonthlyCents, createdAt.

Examples:

  • Use when: discovering all companies on the board before looking up a specific companyId

  • Don't use when: you already have the companyId — use paperclip_get_company instead

Error Handling:

  • 401: authentication failed → check PAPERCLIP_API_KEY

  • 403: board key required → this endpoint requires board-level authentication

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint true, and description adds board-only restriction, pagination details, and error cases. No contradictions; adds significant context beyond annotations.

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 sections, front-loaded warning, and concise sentences. Every part adds value without redundancy.

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?

No output schema, but description fully explains return structure (pagination envelope with fields). Covers error handling, examples, and usage guidance completely.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage, so baseline 3. Description repeats schema details but adds examples and context like output format and pagination envelope, earning a 4.

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?

Clearly states it lists all companies accessible to the authenticated board user, with specific verb and resource. Differentiation from paperclip_get_company is explicit.

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?

Provides explicit when to use (discovering all companies) and when not to use (if companyId known, use get_company). Also includes error handling for authentication issues.

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