smartsheet_list_attachments
Read-onlyIdempotent

List all attachments (sheet-level and row-level) from a Smartsheet sheet, returning name, type, size, and temporary download URLs.

Instructions

List all attachments on a Smartsheet sheet (both sheet-level and row-level). Returns attachment name, type, size, and temporary download URL.

Args:

  • sheet_id (number): Target sheet ID

  • page_size (number, optional): Results per page (default 100)

  • page (number, optional): Page number (default 1)

Returns: Array of attachment metadata with download URLs (URLs expire after a short period).

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, idempotent behavior. The description adds key behavioral context: temporary download URLs that expire, and pagination details, enhancing transparency beyond the annotations.

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 concise and well-structured: a brief purpose statement, return value summary, and bulleted Args list. Every sentence adds value 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?

For a read-only list tool with no output schema, the description fully covers the return shape (name, type, size, URL), pagination parameters, and URL expiration behavior, making it complete for agent usage.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining each parameter (sheet_id, page_size, page) with purpose and defaults, adding meaning that the schema lacks.

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 it lists all attachments on a sheet (both sheet-level and row-level), with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from the sibling tool smartsheet_list_row_attachments, which only lists row-level attachments.

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 usage for listing all attachments but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like smartsheet_list_row_attachments. No direct when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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