list_themes

Retrieve all statistical themes from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office catalog, including names, prodima numbers, and theme codes. Use prodima numbers to filter datasets by theme.

Instructions

List all available statistical themes (categories) in the BFS catalog. Each theme has a name, prodima number (for filtering), and theme code. Use the prodima number with search_datasets to filter by theme.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided; description carries burden. States it lists all themes, which implies read-only. No mention of side effects or limits, but for a simple listing this is adequate.

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, first defines purpose, second adds output details and usage hint. No waste, front-loaded.

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?

No output schema, but description explains output fields and how to use them. Adequate for a simple listing tool with one parameter.

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?

Only one parameter 'language' with schema covering 100%. Description adds context about output fields (name, prodima, theme code) but not new parameter details beyond schema's description.

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?

Clear verb 'list' and resource 'themes'. Specifies output components (name, prodima number, theme code). Differentiates from sibling tools like search_datasets which filter datasets.

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?

Explicitly advises using the prodima number with search_datasets for filtering, providing clear usage context. Does not state when not to use, but implied by sibling tools.

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