# List reusable tools

> MCP reference for list_tools.

Tool: `list_tools`. Requires **Viewer or higher** in the applicable workspace and a connected [OAuth session](https://docs.agents.labs.bandwidth.com/mcp/authentication.md).

Returns tool UUIDs, names, descriptions, and categories. Default `status` is active; archived and draft are explicit filters. Use returned UUIDs in node `tool_uuids`. This discovers configured resources rather than executing them.

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Defaults and limits |
| - | - | - | - |
| `status` | string or null | No | Default: `"active"` |

## Example arguments

Replace sample resource IDs with IDs returned in your selected workspace.

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": "active"
}
```

## Result and errors

The schema below describes MCP `structuredContent`, including the `result` wrapper where present. Your client may also display a text representation. Read success flags and structured errors before continuing; transport success alone does not prove the operation succeeded. Authentication, missing membership, and insufficient role can fail before a tool result is produced. See [troubleshooting](https://docs.agents.labs.bandwidth.com/mcp/troubleshooting.md).

**Effect:** Reads data. **Retry:** Declared idempotent. Discovery annotations describe behavior; they do not grant permission or replace confirmation for consequential actions.
