network_list_devices

Retrieve a paginated list of all adopted devices on a UniFi site to monitor and manage network hardware.

Instructions

List all adopted devices on a local UniFi site.

Args: site_id: The site ID (get from network_info). offset: Pagination offset (default 0). limit: Items per page (default 25, max 200).

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It implies a read operation and specifies pagination behavior (defaults and max limit), but does not mention any side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits.

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 concise sentences for purpose and parameter details. No fluff, each line adds value. Front-loaded with the main operation.

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 an output schema exists (reducing need to explain returns) and no annotations, the description adequately covers listing devices with pagination. Could mention what 'adopted' means or filtering options.

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 0%, so description compensates. It explains site_id is obtained from network_info, and defines limit max (200) and defaults not in schema. For offset and limit, it repeats schema defaults, adding moderate value.

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?

Description clearly states 'List all adopted devices on a local UniFi site.' It uses a specific verb and resource, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like network_get_device or network_list_clients.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as network_get_device for a single device or network_list_clients for clients. No context about prerequisites or exclusions.

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