List feeds

list_feeds
Read-onlyIdempotent

List all subscribed RSS feeds with their categories and unread counts. Use this to discover available feed IDs before fetching articles.

Instructions

Lists every subscribed feed with its category and unread count. The numeric feedId is what all other tools take as feed_id. Start here to find out what is subscribed before listing articles.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description does not contradict the readOnly and idempotent annotations, and it adds context about being a starting point, though it doesn't explicitly restate side-effect freedom.

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?

Three short sentences convey all essential information without redundancy.

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?

The description explains what is returned (feeds with category and unread count) and its role in the workflow, making it complete for a zero-parameter read-only tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

There are no parameters, so this dimension is trivially satisfied. The description's mention of feedId as an output is helpful but not parameter-related.

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 the tool lists every subscribed feed with its category and unread count, making the purpose unambiguous.

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?

It explicitly says to start here before listing articles and notes that the feedId is used by other tools, giving clear when-to-use guidance.

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