list_scenarios

Enumerate available game scenarios by scanning the server's games directory for valid configurations, enabling players to select and switch scenarios in the game room.

Instructions

Enumerate scenarios available on this server.

Walks the packaged games/ directory and returns the sub-directory names that have a readable config.yaml. The client uses this to populate the 'change scenario' dropdown in the room screen.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
connection_idYes
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It describes internal mechanics (walks directory, checks config.yaml) and implies read-only, non-destructive operation.

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 sentences, the first is a clear summary, the second adds implementation detail. No wasted words.

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?

Explains purpose, mechanism, and client usage. However, missing explanation of the connection_id parameter and the return format (list of strings) would improve completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The only parameter, connection_id, is required but not explained in the description. Schema description coverage is 0%, and description adds no meaning beyond the field 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 clearly states it enumerates scenarios by walking a directory, and distinguishes from siblings like describe_scenario (detail) and get_scenario_bundle (bundle). It specifies the client use case.

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 a clear use case (populate dropdown), but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or comparison with other list-like siblings such as list_rooms.

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