List recent submissions

list_recent

Retrieve recently added or updated PhilArchive records within a date range via OAI-PMH. Specify from and until dates; defaults to the last 7 days. Returns up to 100 records per page.

Instructions

List recently added/updated PhilArchive records in a date window, via OAI-PMH (harvesting, not keyword search). Returns the first page of results (~up to limit). Dates are UTC YYYY-MM-DD; defaults to the last 7 days.

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses OAI-PMH protocol, first page only, date format and defaults, limit range. With no annotations, provides key behavioral traits.

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 sentences, no redundancy, front-loaded with purpose and key details.

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 simple list tool with 3 optional parameters and no output schema, the description fully covers behavior, format, and defaults. No gaps.

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?

Schema already describes all parameters (100% coverage). Description adds pagination nuance ('returns first page of results ~up to limit') beyond schema, providing added clarity.

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?

Clearly states listing recently added/updated PhilArchive records via OAI-PMH harvesting, specifying date window and pagination. Distinct from sibling search tools.

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?

Explicitly says 'not keyword search' to differentiate from search tools, explains date defaults and pagination. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but context is clear.

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