blv_list_datasets

Read-onlyIdempotent

List all BLV open datasets on opendata.swiss to discover available data sources before retrieving detailed information or mapping topics to dataset slugs.

Instructions

Browse all BLV open datasets on opendata.swiss (CKAN API).

Use case: discover which datasets exist before drilling into one with blv_get_dataset_info, or to map a topic to a concrete dataset slug.

Input Schema

limitNoMaximum datasets to return (default 28 = all BLV datasets).

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint. Description adds CKAN source and use case but no extra behavioral traits beyond annotations.

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 efficient sentences, no wasted words; front-loaded with purpose and use case.

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?

With output schema present and only two optional parameters, description covers all necessary context for agent usage.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for limit and search. Description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond what schema provides.

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?

Description clearly states 'Browse all BLV open datasets' and distinguishes from sibling blv_get_dataset_info by framing 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 Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says 'discover which datasets exist before drilling into one with blv_get_dataset_info', providing when/why to use and alternative.

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