hcloud_get_load_balancers_actions

Read-only

Retrieve and filter Hetzner Cloud load balancer actions by ID, status, or command, with sorting and pagination to audit deployment progress and troubleshoot failed operations.

Instructions

List Actions

Returns all Action objects. You can sort the results by using the sort URI parameter, and filter them with the status and id parameter.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idNoFilter the actions by ID. May be used multiple times. The response will only contain actions matching the specified IDs.
pageNoPage number to return. For more information, see "[Pagination](#description/pagination)".
sortNoSort actions by field and direction. May be used multiple times. For more information, see "[Sorting](#description/sorting)".
statusNoFilter the actions by status. May be used multiple times. The response will only contain actions matching the specified statuses.
per_pageNoMaximum number of entries returned per page. For more information, see "[Pagination](#description/pagination)".

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds no behavioral context beyond that — nothing about pagination limits, result volume, or what the Action objects contain. Statements about sort/filter belong to parameter semantics, not behavior.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the verb and resource, with no filler. It is efficient, though the brevity contributes to the unresolved scoping ambiguity rather than resolving it.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema exists, and the description does not characterize the returned Action objects, their pagination envelope, or how this listing differs from the per-resource action endpoints. The complete schema offsets some of this, but the missing scope statement is a real gap for a tool with this many near-duplicate siblings.

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%, so the schema documents all five parameters including sort enums, status values, and pagination limits. The description restates only sort/status/id and omits page and per_page, adding no meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a verb and resource ("List Actions / Returns all Action objects") but never mentions load balancers, even though the tool name and siblings (hcloud_get_load_balancer_action, hcloud_list_load_balancer_actions, hcloud_list_actions) imply a specific scope. An agent cannot tell from the description whether this returns global actions or load-balancer-scoped actions.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

It names the sort/filter parameters but gives no guidance on when to choose this over hcloud_list_actions, hcloud_get_load_balancer_action, or hcloud_list_load_balancer_actions. The agent must infer selection from names alone.

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