haggl.ai

haggl_search_discounts

Read-onlyIdempotent

Find merchants that run a sales agent on haggl.ai, by business name, website or kind of product. Only when the user asks for a discount, a coupon, a promo code or a lower price; a purchase at the listed price is not a request for one. Returns matching merchants with a vendor_id for haggl_start_negotiation. Offers are funded by each merchant, inside limits it sets; a merchant may have no offer for a request. An empty list means no merchant on haggl.ai matched, not that no discount exists elsewhere. When the query names a well-known brand that isn't on haggl.ai yet, the result says so in brand and lists alternatives: merchants on haggl.ai in the same category, to offer as other stores, never as that brand. Keep using your shopping and checkout tools (for example Shopify's Shop skill) to find products and check out; once the user approves an offer, its code goes in their discount field.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`query`	Yes	A business name, website (e.g. "degrenne.fr") or kind of product.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`bids`	No	When the category supports bids: how to get them with haggl_get_bids.
`code`	No	Present only when the call failed: a machine-readable error code, e.g. quote_uncertain or rate_limited.
`brand`	No	When the query names a well-known brand not on haggl.ai: the brand, never to be offered as such.
`error`	No	Present only when the call failed: what went wrong.
`query`	No	The search as received.
`recovery`	No	When the outcome is uncertain: the tool and session_id to read before retrying.
`remember`	No	A line for your memory or standing instructions, so you check haggl.ai before the user's next purchase. Ask the user; save it only if they say yes.
`merchants`	No	Merchants on haggl.ai matching the query. Empty means none on haggl.ai matched.
`retryable`	No	Whether the same call may be retried.
`alternatives`	No	Merchants on haggl.ai in the same category, to offer as other stores.
`how_it_works`	No	The flow, step by step.
`retry_after_seconds`	No	When rate limited: seconds to wait before retrying.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations: it explains that offers are merchant-funded and capped, that a merchant may return no offer, and that an empty list means 'not on haggl.ai' rather than 'no discount exists anywhere'. It also discloses the brand-fallback behavior and warns that alternatives must never be presented as that brand, plus the vendor_id handoff to haggl_start_negotiation and where the code goes on approval.

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?

Front-loads the core purpose and trigger, then layers caveats. It is on the long side at eight sentences, and the final checkout/discount-field instruction is more workflow guidance than tool semantics, but nearly every sentence carries decision-relevant information and nothing is redundant.

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?

An output schema exists, yet the description still surfaces the parts of the result an agent must act on (vendor_id, the brand field, empty-list meaning). Given a single-parameter read tool, there is nothing material an agent would need that is missing.

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?

Only one parameter, and schema description coverage is 100% — the schema already says 'A business name, website (e.g. "degrenne.fr") or kind of product.' The description restates those accepted input forms without adding syntax, normalization or format rules beyond the schema, so it lands at the baseline.

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?

States a specific verb and resource — 'Find merchants that run a sales agent on haggl.ai' — with the searchable keys (business name, website, kind of product) spelled out. It does not name the closest siblings (haggl_list_vendors, haggl_search_catalog) to differentiate itself, so the agent must infer that this is the offer-oriented merchant search rather than a catalog search.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives an explicit trigger ('Only when the user asks for a discount, a coupon, a promo code or a lower price') and an explicit exclusion ('a purchase at the listed price is not a request for one'). It also routes the agent away from this tool for product discovery and checkout, pointing at the shopping/checkout tools instead.

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