Timeplex K-Beauty Booking

Search Availability

search_availability
Read-onlyIdempotent

Check real-time appointment availability for one TimePlex shop (slug from search_shops, items from get_shop_services) on a date, optionally at a time. All times are Korea Standard Time (KST). USE THIS TOOL WHEN: the user asks whether an appointment is available, asks for open slots or possible times, asks for shops that are actually available on a date / at a time / for a party size ("10월 1일 강남 헤드스파 예약 가능한 곳", "any head spa open at 5 PM?", "somewhere I can book tomorrow afternoon for two"), asks for alternatives to an unavailable time, or wants to book (check the slot before start_booking). DO NOT USE IT FOR: find / recommend / compare requests. A date or time alone is not availability intent — "recommend a head spa in Gangnam for October 1" stays a search_shops request unless the user asks whether a slot is open. REAL-TIME RULE: only this tool establishes that a slot is open. Never infer availability from bookable=true, business hours, the shop being open, a service or staff member existing, web search, maps, social media, third-party sites or earlier answers. Describe a time as available only when this tool returns it. PARTY SIZE: check the whole party as the items schema describes (qty for capacity shops). Never stitch separate single-person slots into a group booking unless the result shows it. RESULTS: if the requested time is unavailable, say so and offer the returned alternatives. If blocked is 'inquiry_only', the service cannot be booked online — tell the customer to contact the shop. If nothing is open, say no confirmed slot was found; you may check other suitable TimePlex shops. Checking availability does not reserve anything. NEXT: with the open times you may add start_booking links so the customer can book the slot they pick — never call the slot reserved or booked.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive; the description adds substantial context beyond them: the REAL-TIME RULE that no other source establishes availability, that checking does not reserve anything, how to handle blocked='inquiry_only', and what to say when nothing is open. It also warns against stitching single-person slots into a group booking, which is a real behavioral trap.

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?

Long, but organized into labelled blocks (WHEN / DO NOT USE / REAL-TIME RULE / PARTY SIZE / RESULTS / NEXT) with the core purpose front-loaded, so an agent can scan it. A few clauses restate the same non-reservation point twice ('Checking availability does not reserve anything' and 'never call the slot reserved or booked'), which is mild redundancy in a high-stakes booking context.

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?

For a read-only availability check with an output schema, this covers everything an agent needs: timezone, party-size semantics, interpretation of blocked states, fallback behavior when the requested time is missing, and the hand-off to booking. No meaningful gap remains.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds genuine meaning: all times are KST, slug comes from search_shops, items come from get_shop_services, and party size must be passed as a whole via qty rather than assembled from single slots. The time parameter's fallback-to-alternatives behavior is also stated in both places.

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?

The opening sentence gives a specific verb and resource ('Check real-time appointment availability for one TimePlex shop') plus the exact source of each input ('slug from search_shops, items from get_shop_services'). It is immediately distinguishable from search_shops, get_shop_services, and start_booking.

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?

Explicit USE THIS TOOL WHEN examples in Korean and English, an explicit DO NOT USE IT FOR clause that resolves the hardest ambiguity ('recommend a head spa in Gangnam for October 1' stays a search_shops request), and a NEXT clause routing to start_booking. Nothing is left to inference.

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