List asset folders

list_asset_folders
Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists the direct child folders of an asset folder in Wiki.js. Specify a parent folder ID (0 for root) to retrieve its immediate subfolders, one level per call.

Instructions

Lists the folders directly under an asset folder. Folder 0 is the root. Wiki.js returns one level at a time, so a deep tree needs one call per level.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: Wiki.js returns one level at a time, and Folder 0 is the root. This helps the agent understand traversal semantics without overexplaining.

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?

Two short sentences with no filler. The primary action is front-loaded, and the one-level-per-call behavior is stated immediately after, making this easy to parse.

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?

With a single simple parameter, strong annotations, and an output schema already present, the description covers everything an agent needs to invoke the tool correctly. The key behavioral nuance (one level per call) is explicitly included.

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 coverage is 100%: the parent_folder_id parameter is fully described with type, range, and root default. The description reinforces that Folder 0 is the root but adds no new parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides.

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 a specific action ('Lists the folders directly under an asset folder'), identifies the resource type (asset folders), and scopes the result to one level. It also clarifies the special root folder (Folder 0), distinguishing this from listing assets or pages.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description clearly implies when to use this tool: when you need the immediate children of an asset folder. It also gives behavioral guidance that a deep tree requires one call per level, helping the agent plan multi-step traversal. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but none are necessary given the unique sibling context.

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