List RRSets

list_rrsets
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve DNS record sets (RRSets) for a Hetzner zone, filtered by name, type, or label, to inspect records, TTLs, and protection status with pagination.

Instructions

List the RRSets (DNS record sets) of a zone, including their records, TTLs and protection status.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds useful context about the returned content (records, TTLs, protection status) but does not disclose pagination or filtering behavior, which are relevant given the page and per_page parameters.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It states the action, the resource, and the key included fields efficiently.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description, combined with the rich input schema and output schema, gives an agent enough to select and invoke the tool correctly. It could mention pagination or filtering, but those are already documented in the schema, and the annotations cover the read-only safety profile.

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 fully documents all six parameters. The description does not add additional parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb ('List') and resource ('RRSets of a zone'), and clarifies what is included: records, TTLs, and protection status. This clearly distinguishes it from single-record tools like get_rrset and zone-level tools like list_zones.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies the tool is for retrieving all RRSets in a zone, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer it over get_rrset or export_zonefile. There is no direct mention of alternatives or exclusion criteria, so the usage guidance is only implicit.

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