export_objects

List exportable objects from PCAP files by type. Each object includes a download token for retrieving raw content. Supports types: http, dicom, smb, tftp, imf, ftp-data. Scan once, results cached for pagination.

Instructions

List exportable objects of the given type found in the capture.

Each returned object includes a _download token that can be passed to download_object to retrieve the raw content. Supported types: http, dicom, smb, tftp, imf, ftp-data.

The PCAP is scanned only on the first call for a given type; subsequent pages are served from cache.

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses caching behavior (scan on first call, cache subsequent) and download token, but no mention of auth, rate limits, or error states. Adequate given no annotations.

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?

Three sentences with clear front-loading of purpose, no wasted words, but could be slightly more compact.

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?

Describes return token and caching but lacks details on pagination (skip/limit), alias usage, and the full return format; adequate for a list tool but not complete.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Only the 'type' parameter is described with enum values; alias, skip, and limit are undocumented in the description, leaving gaps despite 0% schema coverage.

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 uses the verb 'list' on the resource 'exportable objects', and differentiates from sibling 'download_object' by explaining the token mechanism for later retrieval.

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?

Implies using this tool to list and then 'download_object' for content, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare to other siblings.

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