list_dashboards
Enumerate your dashboards newest-updated first, with cursor pagination. Parameters, return shape, the degraded folder state and scope.
Lists your active dashboards, most-recently-updated first. Soft-deleted
dashboards are excluded. Pagination is cursor-based over
(updated_at DESC, dashboard_id DESC).
Behaviour hints for clients: read-only, not open-world.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | no | Page size, minimum 1, maximum 100. Default 50. |
cursor | string | no | Opaque cursor from a prior response's next_cursor. Omit on the first call. |
Treat the cursor as opaque. Its format may change.
Returns
2 dashboards for the acme workspace (more available - pass next_cursor to paginate).

BEGIN_JSON
{"user_handle":"mickey","count":2,"has_more":true,"next_cursor":"eyJ1...","folder_path_degraded":false,"dashboards":[]}
END_JSON
user_handle in the JSON block is YOUR handle, not the space, and the two are
deliberately different values: the header line above names the workspace, while the
structured payload carries the handle of the account that made the call. Do not read one as
a copy of the other.
Empty and continuation states:
| State | Text |
|---|---|
| No dashboards at all | No active dashboards for <label>. |
| A cursor page past the end | No more dashboards after cursor. |
| A non-first page | <n> dashboards for <label> (continuation page) |
This tool never reports a folder
No entry carries a Folder: segment and folder_path_degraded is always false,
whatever a dashboard's folder actually is. Folder context is not surfaced over MCP:
the tool passes no folder-tree reader, so every path resolves to nothing and the
segment is never pushed.
Read folder_path_degraded: false as "not reported", never as "no folders". The
flag exists to distinguish a failed folder fetch from a dashboard with no folder,
and with no fetch to fail it can only take one value. The prose line it would have
accompanied,
(Folder context unavailable for this response - dashboards may still be organised; retry to see folders.),
is likewise unreachable.
Folders are visible in the Dashies web app.
Errors
| Condition | Text |
|---|---|
| The read failed | list failed: <msg> |
| The read returned the wrong shape | list failed: db returned non-array |
| A cursor that cannot be decoded | A cursor-decode refusal naming the bad value |
Scope
The connection lists the dashboards of the workspace it is authorized for, at
<workspace>.dashies.ai/<slug>. folder_path is always null: the MCP does not
read a workspace's folder tree, so it has no folder to name. The web app shows
the folders.
Check it worked
Compare count against the number of bullets. If has_more is true, pass
next_cursor back and confirm the second page opens with the continuation
header rather than repeating the first page.
