list_rules

List automation rules for a map, showing enabled status, trigger, conditions, and last error to identify misconfigured rules.

Instructions

List automation rules of a map: id, name, enabled, scope node, trigger, conditions, actions, last_fired and last_error (a non-empty last_error means the rule is misconfigured and its owner was notified).

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It goes beyond a simple 'list' statement by explaining the meaning of last_error (misconfiguration and notification), which is useful context. It does not mention side effects or permissions, but the read-only nature of listing is inherent.

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, dense sentence that efficiently lists the tool's purpose, the fields returned, and the special meaning of one field. There is no fluff, and every part adds value.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple listing tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is largely complete: it specifies the resource scope, the fields returned, and the significance of last_error. It lacks details about pagination, sorting, or whether all rules (enabled/disabled) are included, but these are not critical for a basic listing operation.

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?

The sole parameter map_id is required and has no schema description (0% coverage). The description mentions 'of a map', which contextually identifies map_id as the map identifier, but it does not explicitly define the parameter or its format. This provides minimal compensation for the missing schema documentation.

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 uses a specific verb ('List') and resource ('automation rules of a map'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_rule_runs and list_rule_templates. It also lists the exact fields returned, making the purpose explicit.

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 provides clear context by specifying the scope ('of a map') and listing the returned fields, which implies it is for inspecting rule configurations. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, though the purpose is distinct enough.

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