Discovery Overlap

discovery_overlap

Calculate the overlap between two audience criteria sets. Returns overlap_count, overlap_pct (percentage of the smaller population), and demographic_deltas. Each side (a and b) independently accepts EXACTLY ONE of: audience_id, segment_id, segment_ids+set_logic, filter_groups, or filters (more than one per side is rejected with AMBIGUOUS_INPUT). Saved composition, exclusions, and record limits are preserved. Empty optional distributions mean unavailable, not zero. Legacy: pass audience_id_a and audience_id_b at the top level for backward compatibility (mutually exclusive with a/b). Requires 'discovery' scope.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial behavior beyond the annotations: it names the error code emitted on ambiguous input, discloses that saved composition, exclusions, and record limits are preserved, and warns that empty optional distributions mean unavailable rather than zero, which prevents a real misinterpretation. It also states the auth requirement ('discovery' scope), which no annotation covers.

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-loaded with the core action and return shape, then tight constraint sentences with no filler. A couple of clauses are compressed to the point of being slightly cryptic (which 'optional distributions', what exactly is 'preserved'), but every sentence carries information.

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?

For a nested, four-parameter tool with an output schema, it covers the risky parts: input shape exclusivity, legacy compatibility, scope requirement, and output metric definitions. Given readOnlyHint=false, a short note on whether anything is persisted or billed by this calculation would close the last gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds the critical "EXACTLY ONE of" mutual-exclusion rule that the flat JSON schema cannot express (no oneOf/anyOf at the side level) and the legacy a/b vs audience_id_a/b exclusivity. It does not clarify set_logic defaults or when to prefer filter_groups over filters, leaving some shape-selection meaning to the schema.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: "Calculate the overlap between two audience criteria sets", and immediately names the outputs (overlap_count, overlap_pct, demographic_deltas). The two-sided framing inherently separates it from single-set siblings like discovery_count and from discovery_crosstab, so an agent can pick it without opening any schema.

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?

Gives concrete invocation rules rather than vague context: each side accepts exactly one of five input shapes, more than one per side is rejected with AMBIGUOUS_INPUT, legacy audience_id_a/b are mutually exclusive with a/b, and 'discovery' scope is required. It does not explicitly contrast itself with discovery_count or discovery_crosstab, so the alternative-selection guidance is inferred rather than stated.

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