evite_list_templates

Read-only

List invitation templates by gallery category to find the template_name required for event creation; filter to free-only when needed.

Instructions

List invitation templates from a gallery category — use this to find the template_name that evite_create_event requires. category is a gallery path, e.g. "birthday/kids-teens/kids-birthday", "party", "wedding", or "baby-kids/baby/baby-shower". Set free_only:true to list only free templates. Returns each template’s slug (= template_name) and a readable display name.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
viewNoResponse shape: "compact" (default) drops fields the response already carries elsewhere; "full" returns every field this server understands. compact strips image/avatar URLs from the response; "full" returns Evite's payload untouched. No field projection: this server has no verified record of which Evite fields matter, and inventing one would risk dropping a field a caller needs.
categoryYesGallery category path, e.g. "birthday/kids-teens/kids-birthday", "party", or "wedding".
free_onlyNoList only free (non-premium) templates.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value beyond that by disclosing the return shape ('each template's slug (= template_name) and a readable display name'), filling in the absence of an output schema. It doesn't mention rate limits or result volume, hence not a 5.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the core action and purpose, then parameter notes. Every sentence carries information that isn't duplicated elsewhere; nothing is padding.

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?

With no output schema, the description supplies the needed return-value account (slug plus display name), names the consuming tool, and documents all three parameters. Nothing an agent needs to call this correctly is missing.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description goes further by giving realistic category path examples and restating free_only's effect, and it uniquely maps the returned slug to the `template_name` string other tools expect — meaning not present in the 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?

States a specific verb+resource ('List invitation templates from a gallery category') and immediately explains the downstream purpose: finding the `template_name` that evite_create_event requires. This clearly distinguishes it from read siblings like evite_list_events or evite_get_event.

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 names the condition that selects this tool — locating `template_name` before calling evite_create_event — and shows concrete category path values. An agent knows both when to call it and what to do with the output.

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