How to get a taken domain

acquisition_report
Read-onlyIdempotent

For a domain someone already owns: whether it's listed for sale and where (with the asking price when the sale page shows one), when it could drop, its estimated value, the realistic chance of buying it, the options in order (buy now, make an offer, backorder, have GoMain broker it, watch it) and available alternatives with prices.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so safety is covered, and the description goes beyond them by disclosing the actual payload: sale listing and asking price, drop timing, estimated value, buy-chance, an ordered option list, and priced alternatives. It even flags a data caveat ('when the sale page shows one'), though it says nothing about latency or caching for what is clearly an open-world lookup.

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?

One dense sentence, but it is front-loaded with the scoping condition and every clause adds distinct information about the return. The nested parentheticals and comma-spliced option list make it slightly hard to scan.

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?

With no output schema, the description does the right thing by enumerating the fields the report contains, and it covers all six sections an agent would need to relay. Missing pieces are minor: input format and any note on how slow the open-world lookups may be.

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?

Schema coverage is 0% and the single 'domain' property has no description, so the description carries some burden. It does implicitly constrain the input to an already-owned domain, which is genuine semantic information, but gives no format guidance (TLD required, subdomain handling, etc.).

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The scoping clause 'For a domain someone already owns' plus the enumerated report contents make it clear this is an acquisition-intelligence report for taken domains, which separates it from check_availability and search_domains_for_sale. It never states a verb ('returns a report on...') and reads as a content list, so it stops short of a crisp verb+resource statement.

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?

The phrase 'For a domain someone already owns' gives an implicit when-to-use condition and rules out available domains, which is real routing value. However, it names no alternatives or exclusions (e.g. appraise_domain for value only, make_offer to act, request_acquisition to buy), so the agent must infer when this broad report beats the narrower siblings.

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