thincms_list_authors

List all authors with bios, avatars, and post counts for a complete overview of author profiles.

Instructions

List all authors with their bios, avatars, and post counts.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {},
    "name": "thincms_list_authors"
  }
}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
siteIdNoOverride the active site for this single call. Pass to target a specific tenant without mutating shared active-site state — the right pattern when running concurrent agent sessions managing different tenants. Must match a siteId from your THINCMS_SITES config (use thincms_list_sites to inspect). When omitted, the call uses the active site set by thincms_switch_site.
confirmProductionWriteNoAcknowledge that this call may write to a configured production site (THINCMS_PRODUCTION_SITE_IDS env var). Required for any POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE against a production-listed site; ignored otherwise. The error message lists which site triggered the requirement and recommends thincms_snapshot before any production write.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must carry behavioral disclosure. 'List all authors' implies read-only, but does not explicitly state idempotency, side effects, or auth needs. The confirmProductionWrite parameter (typical for writes) is not explained, potentially causing confusion.

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 succinct sentence (9 words) with no unnecessary information. It efficiently conveys the core function without fluff.

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

Completeness3/5

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

No output schema exists, so description should explain return format. It lists fields (bios, avatars, post counts) but lacks details on pagination, ordering, or structure. Adequate for a simple list tool with well-documented parameters, but not exhaustive.

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% with detailed parameter descriptions. The tool description adds no additional parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already provides, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states 'List all authors' with specific fields (bios, avatars, post counts). It distinguishes from create/update/delete sibling tools, but does not explicitly contrast with other list tools like thincms_list_posts. However, the tool name and resource context make the purpose clear.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lacks usage context such as prerequisites, active site behavior, or comparisons with other tools. Usage info is only found in parameter schema descriptions, not the tool description itself.

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