hcloud_get_servers_actions

Read-only

List Hetzner Cloud actions and filter them by ID or status, with sorting and pagination, to inspect server operation history.

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.

C2.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds only that results can be sorted/filtered, without mentioning pagination behavior, default page size, or the scope of returned actions — nothing an agent couldn't infer from the schema.

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 with no padding, and the core action (list) is front-loaded. The second sentence is partly redundant with the schema but is not wasteful enough to penalize further.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a list tool with no output schema, the description should clarify the resource scope (server actions), the pagination model, and the shape of returned Action objects. It does none of these and leaves the server-scoping question a genuine ambiguity given the many sibling list-actions tools.

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 already fully documents id, page, sort, status, and per_page. The description merely names sort, status, and id (omitting pagination) without adding syntax or semantics beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description says only "List Actions / Returns all Action objects," which is a restatement of the generic list-actions resource. Despite the name hcloud_get_servers_actions, it never states that these are actions scoped to servers, leaving it indistinguishable from siblings like hcloud_list_actions or hcloud_get_servers_actions_id.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

No guidance on when to use this versus hcloud_list_actions, hcloud_list_server_actions, or hcloud_get_servers_actions_id. The only conditional content is a paraphrase of query parameters, not selection criteria.

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