List My Playlists

get_user_playlists
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve current user's playlists with pagination. Specify limit and offset to page through results.

Instructions

Get current user's playlists with pagination support.

Args:
    limit: Max playlists to return per page (1-50, default 20)
    offset: Number of playlists to skip for pagination (default 0)

Returns:
    PlaylistList with 'items' (list of playlists) and pagination info ('total', 'limit', 'offset')

Note: For users with many playlists, use offset to paginate through results.
Example: offset=0 gets playlists 1-20, offset=20 gets playlists 21-40, etc.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds pagination behavior and return format, which is useful but not critical beyond annotations.

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?

Concise, well-structured: purpose, args, returns, note. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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?

Covers purpose, parameters, returns (including pagination info), and usage note. Output schema exists, so return details are adequately explained.

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?

Despite 0% schema coverage, description fully explains both parameters (limit, offset) with defaults, range, and example usage, compensating for schema gaps.

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?

Clearly states 'Get current user's playlists with pagination support', specifying verb, resource, and a key differentiator (pagination). Distinguishes from siblings like get_playlist_info.

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?

Provides pagination usage example and note about many playlists, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like get_playlist_info or search_tracks.

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