List folders

list_folders
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieves campaign, audience, or account folders; returns root folders by default or child folders when given a parent ID.

Instructions

List folders. Required API key scope: campaigns:read | audiences:read | accounts:read. GET /folders Required scope depends on type: CAMPAIGN → campaigns:read, AUDIENCE → audiences:read, ACCOUNT or omitted → accounts:read. Without type, folders of all types are returned. Returns root folders unless parentId is given.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the safety profile is covered; the description adds genuinely useful context by spelling out required API key scopes per `type` value and the default return scope. It does not disclose pagination, ordering, or response shape, which an agent listing a potentially large collection would want.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, endpoint, and defaults, then the per-type scope mapping. The scope requirement is stated twice (a summary line plus the per-type breakdown), which is slight duplication, though the second occurrence carries the type-specific nuance.

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 only two optional parameters, no output schema, and read-only annotations, the description covers what an agent needs: endpoint, auth scope per branch, and defaults for both parameters. Pagination would be a nice addition but is not essential to invoke it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 50% (the `type` enum has no description), and the description fully compensates by mapping each enum value to its required scope and stating that omission returns all types. It also reinforces `parentId` semantics with the 'root' default, matching and extending the schema's own description.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('List folders') and immediately clarifies scope: all types when `type` is omitted, root folders unless `parentId` is given. It does not distinguish itself from folder siblings like create_folder/update_folder/delete_folder, but the read-only listing purpose is unambiguous.

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?

Clear operational context is provided: omitting `type` returns folders of all types, and omitting `parentId` returns root folders. What is missing is explicit routing to alternatives (e.g., use create_folder to create, update_folder to rename) — the agent must infer that from names alone.

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