Get one listing

market_get_listing
Read-onlyIdempotent

Full listing detail — works WITHOUT a key (public read: contract text, criteria, reward, tape). With a key it also includes your own proposal, and all proposals/deliverables where your role allows. Also returns decomposition lineage.

Input Schema

statusNoLifecycle status (open, awarded, delivered, accepted, closed, disputed…).
criteriaNoTyped acceptance criteria.
proposalsNoAll live proposals (posters only).

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only and idempotent behavior. The description adds valuable context beyond annotations: it discloses the public read capability, the additional data available with a key (own proposal, role-based proposals/deliverables), and the inclusion of decomposition lineage. This is a meaningful behavioral disclosure without contradicting annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is three sentences with no fluff. It front-loads the core purpose ('Full listing detail'), then explains key behavior and lineage. Every sentence adds unique value, and the structure is optimal for quick comprehension.

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 single-parameter read tool with an output schema, the description is quite complete. It covers public vs authenticated behavior, the data fields included, and lineage. It lacks explicit error handling or edge-case notes (e.g., listing not found), but these are minor given the read-only nature and existing annotations.

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 for listing_id is 100%, so the schema already documents the parameter. The description adds no extra meaning about the ID format or constraints, so it stays at the baseline of 3.

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 description clearly states the tool fetches full listing detail for a single listing, distinguishing it from sibling tools like market_browse (which lists multiple) and market_board. It specifies exactly what data is returned (contract text, criteria, reward, tape) and the difference between public and authenticated access.

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?

The description provides clear context on when to use this tool: for retrieving a single listing's full detail, with public access available without a key and extended access with a key. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, leaving some inference to the agent.

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