List SLA Policies

list_sla_policies
Read-onlyIdempotent

List configured SLA policies with filter conditions and per-priority reply/resolution targets to explain ticket deadlines and apply correct timing rules without hard-coded matrices.

Instructions

List the configured SLA policies with their filter conditions and per-priority reply/resolution targets. Use this to explain why a given target applies to a ticket and to reconstruct deadlines deterministically instead of hard-coding the policy matrix. Requires an admin token (or a custom role granted the SLA-management permission); a standard agent token gets 403 here, though it can still read live per-ticket SLA via get_ticket / search_tickets.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageNo1-based page number for offset pagination. Increment it while keeping `per_page` fixed to fetch subsequent pages; page 1 is the first page.
per_pageNoNumber of results per page for offset pagination (1-100). Pair with `page` to walk large result sets; the response header reports the total count and whether more pages remain.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the description correctly focuses on what annotations cannot convey: the admin-token requirement and the concrete 403 failure mode for standard agent tokens, plus the workaround. It stops short of describing pagination behavior or output shape details beyond the field list, but the auth disclosure is genuinely additive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the resource and payload, then usage, then access constraints. Two sentences with no filler, though the second sentence is dense and could be split for readability.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the return-value burden and does so at a summary level (filters + per-priority targets) while covering auth and pagination. Adequate for a read-only list tool, short only of exact field-level detail.

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% and both page/per_page descriptions already explain offset pagination, total-count headers and the 100 cap. The description adds nothing about the parameters, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

Specific verb+resource ("List the configured SLA policies") plus a precise statement of what is returned: filter conditions and per-priority reply/resolution targets. An agent can distinguish it from get_ticket/search_tickets, which return per-ticket SLA state rather than the policy matrix.

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 the use case (explain why a target applies, reconstruct deadlines instead of hard-coding the matrix) and names the alternative path for live per-ticket SLA via get_ticket / search_tickets. Both when-to-use and the fallback are given.

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