List Study Decisions

list_study_decisions
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve analyst decisions and agent recommendations for a study. Use pagination to fetch specific pages or get all rows when no limit is set.

Instructions

Read analyst decisions and agent recommendations. Paging is opt-in: pass limit (1-200) to receive a page and next_cursor; send that cursor back unchanged for the next page; null next_cursor means the end. Without limit every row is returned. Rows you cannot see are simply absent; no totals are promised.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, and open-world behavior, and the description goes well beyond them by explaining opt-in paging, the 1-200 limit, cursor mechanics, null next_cursor termination, and the absence of promises about totals. It also clarifies that invisible rows are simply omitted, matching the openWorldHint.

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 concise sentences front-load the core purpose and then efficiently pack all necessary paging semantics. Every sentence earns its place; there is no fluff or repetition of schema defaults.

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?

Given the output schema exists and annotations already cover safety and open-world behavior, the description supplies the remaining operational details an agent needs: how to paginate, what null cursor means, and how to interpret missing rows. Nothing essential 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does this thoroughly for limit and cursor, explaining the allowed range, default behavior, and exact cursor usage. study_id is not described, but its meaning is self-evident from the tool name and title.

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?

The description uses a specific verb ('Read') and a clear resource ('analyst decisions and agent recommendations'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_study_runs and list_study_evaluations. It leaves no doubt about what domain of data this tool returns.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies the tool is for reading decisions and recommendations for a study, but it does not explicitly state when to choose it over siblings or when not to use it. No alternatives are named and no exclusions are given, so the usage context is only implied.

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