List Manual Test Runs

list_manual_runs
Read-only

Browse and filter manual test runs by status, state, environment, release, tags, or name to find specific runs in a project.

Instructions

Browse manual test runs for a project. Filter by status (active|closed), state (new|in_progress|on_hold|done), environment, release (releaseId), tags, or free-text search on name. Default page size 25 (max 200).

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

readOnlyHint=true already covers the safety profile. The description adds pagination defaults (page size 25, max 200), which is useful behavioral context the annotation doesn't provide, but omits sort behavior and return characteristics.

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, filter options grouped efficiently, and the pagination default is placed at the end. No wasted words.

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?

For a 12-parameter list tool with no output schema, the description covers the filter surface but leaves entire parameters (sortBy, sortOrder, isClosed) unexplained and provides no return-format guidance. Adequate but with clear gaps.

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 only 50%, and the description restates the status/state/environment/release/tags/search filters already documented in the schema, though it helpfully lists the allowed status and state values. It does not compensate for the undocumented parameters like sortBy, sortOrder, isClosed, or page.

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?

States a clear verb+resource ('Browse manual test runs for a project') and enumerates the filterable dimensions. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from near-siblings like list_testruns or get_manual_run, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

It implies a browsing/listing use case by describing filters, but never states when to use this tool vs list_testruns or get_manual_run for a single run. No when-not guidance is provided.

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