external_secrets_managers_read

Read-only

Retrieve Fivetran external secrets manager details, entities, or list all ESMs via three read endpoints. Specify the endpoint name to query external secrets managers data.

Instructions

Read operations on Fivetran external secrets managers (3 endpoints: get_esm_details, get_esm_entities, list_esms). Pass the endpoint name in name. Call list_endpoints(category='external-secrets-managers') for the full list.

Tool call template

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that this is a multi-endpoint dispatcher, which is useful context, but says nothing about return format or per-endpoint behavior.

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?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the resource and endpoint list, followed by the mechanical guidance on how to populate `name`. No filler.

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?

For a generic dispatcher with no output schema and fully documented parameters, the description supplies exactly what an agent needs: the endpoint names, where to put them, and how to discover the full list. Minor gap in not distinguishing it from the entities_read sibling.

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 all four parameters are already documented in the schema. The description only reinforces how `name` selects the endpoint, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (read) and resource (Fivetran external secrets managers) and enumerates the three concrete endpoints it dispatches to. It is distinguishable from most siblings, though get_esm_entities overlaps slightly with the external_secrets_managers_entities_read sibling.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives clear operational guidance: pass the endpoint name in `name` and call list_endpoints(category='external-secrets-managers') to enumerate valid values. It does not state when-not to use it or how it differs from the entities_read sibling, so it falls short of a full 5.

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