user_setting_search

Read-onlyIdempotent

Search your user_setting rows by text.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qYesSearch text (substring match over the entity's text properties; %/_ are literal).
limitNoPage size 1-200. Omit BOTH limit and cursor for the legacy bare-array first page of 200; pass either to get { items, next_cursor, limit } instead.
cursorNoOpaque page cursor — pass a previous response's next_cursor verbatim. null next_cursor means no further pages.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered elsewhere. The description adds essentially no behavior beyond the name — nothing about matching semantics beyond schema, result ordering, or empty-result behavior — so it barely clears the lower bar annotations set.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero waste; the resource and search verb come first. It is not padded, though the terseness comes at the cost of routing information rather than brevity being a virtue in itself.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple read-only search with full schema documentation and no output schema, this is minimally sufficient to call correctly. However, it omits the one thing a sibling-heavy namespace needs: how results differ from user_setting_list and what the paged response shape implies.

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 description coverage is 100% and each parameter (q substring semantics, limit paging modes, cursor opacity) is documented in the schema. The description adds nothing about parameters, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 (search) and resource (user_setting rows) plus the search medium (text), so the operation is unambiguous. It stops short of distinguishing itself from the sibling user_setting_list, leaving the agent to infer which one to use.

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 word "search" implies the tool is for text-query retrieval rather than enumeration, which is a weak but real usage signal. There is no explicit statement of when to prefer this over user_setting_list or user_setting_read, and no exclusions.

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