List integrations

list_integrations

Read-onlyIdempotent

List project notification integrations and return UUIDs for use in check channels. See which integrations are available to attach to checks.

Instructions

Lists the notification integrations of the project, with the UUIDs that create_check and update_check accept in their channels argument. Integrations themselves can only be created in the web UI. Note: Healthchecks requires a read-write API key for this endpoint even though it only reads. A read-only key is refused with HTTP 401 "wrong api key", which is not what it sounds like. Call get_api_key_info to check which kind is configured.

With a read-only key this tool cannot even be called correctly: it addresses a check by uuid, and a read-only key never sees one — list_checks answers with a 40-character unique_key instead. So the refusal you get first is about the argument, not the key. Neither is a mistake to fix: with a read-only key this endpoint is out of reach, and there is nothing to pass that would change it.

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description goes beyond these by disclosing that the endpoint nevertheless requires a read-write API key, that a read-only key causes a misleading 401 'wrong api key', and that the underlying check-addressing mechanism makes the tool unusable with a read-only key. This is valuable non-obvious behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with the primary purpose, but it becomes overly verbose in the final paragraphs, repeating the read-only key limitation more than necessary. While every sentence contributes useful information, the same guidance could be delivered in a more compact way.

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?

For a zero-parameter read-only listing tool, the description fully covers the key operational context: output purpose, API key requirements, failure modes, and how to verify key type. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return shapes, and the auth caveat is explained thoroughly.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds relevant context by stating what the returned UUIDs are for, which compensates for not having any parameter documentation to provide.

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 states the specific action ('Lists the notification integrations of the project') and the concrete purpose (providing UUIDs used by create_check and update_check). This clearly distinguishes it from the other listing tools such as list_checks and list_badges.

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 explains that integrations can only be created in the web UI, and gives clear guidance on read-only vs read-write API key behavior, including when to call get_api_key_info. It also explains why the tool cannot be used correctly with a read-only key, leaving little ambiguity about when it is usable.

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