list_decks

List presentation decks in the configured Space, newest-edited first, returning each deck's id, title, and slide count for selecting or managing slideshows.

Instructions

List presentation decks in the configured Space, newest-edited first. A deck is an ordered set of existing diagrams shown as a slideshow. Returns each deck's id, title, and slide count.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
spaceNoWhich workspace to act in: its id, its slug, or its exact name (case-insensitive). Omit to use this token's default workspace. Call list_spaces to see what this token can reach. A name that matches more than one workspace is refused — pass the id or slug instead.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose ordering (newest-edited first) and the shape of each returned item (id, title, slide count), which is genuinely useful. It omits pagination/result-limit behavior, permission requirements, and whether an empty Space is possible — notable gaps for a list endpoint with zero annotation coverage.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and scope, then the definition, then the return shape. No filler and nothing that could be cut without losing information.

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 read-only list tool with no output schema, the description supplies the essential missing piece — what each returned item contains — plus scope and ordering. It falls short only on pagination/volume behavior and authorization expectations, which an agent would want before paging through results.

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 single 'space' parameter has 100% schema description coverage, including slug/name/id forms, the default-workspace behavior, and the ambiguity refusal rule. The description adds nothing beyond the schema here, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('List presentation decks'), scopes it ('in the configured Space'), and adds the ordering ('newest-edited first'), which is enough to separate it from get_deck, create_deck, and update_deck. It also defines the domain object ('an ordered set of existing diagrams shown as a slideshow'), so the agent knows what a deck is without external context.

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?

Usage is implied by 'list ... in the configured Space' and by the return of id/title/slide count, which signals a browsing/enumeration purpose. However, it never says when to prefer get_deck over this, nor any exclusion or prerequisite, leaving routing to inference.

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