Property · Schools — bundle

properties_schools_all
Read-onlyIdempotent

Shown in the property report as the 'Schools' card in the Lifestyle section.

Schools for this address: the ones nearby with their distances, and how each ranks on NAPLAN alongside sector, level and attendance.

The priciest bundle in the Property family, because it joins the school register, the ranking table and distance calculations. Call /schools/nearby alone if rankings do not matter.

Price: 105¢ per call.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent and non-destructive, so the description's job is to add context, which it does by disclosing the 105¢ per-call price, calling itself the priciest bundle, and explaining that it joins the school register, ranking table and distance calculations. It does not say how many schools are returned, whether results are capped or ordered, or how distances are measured — meaningful gaps for a composite tool.

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 valuable part — what the tool returns — and keeps the cost and composition notes tight. The 'Shown in the property report as the Schools card in the Lifestyle section' framing adds product context but is the least essential sentence, and the markdown price line is slightly redundant with the prose about being the priciest bundle.

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 one-parameter read tool with no output schema, it covers returns, composition, cost and a cheaper alternative — enough for an agent to choose and call it. The missing piece is any description of gnaf_id, which is the only input and its sole real gap.

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

Parameters2/5

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

There is one parameter, gnaf_id, and schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the burden. It only indirectly implies the parameter identifies 'this address' and never explains what a GNAF ID is, where to obtain one (e.g. via geocode_address), or the format — leaving the sole required input effectively undocumented.

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 resource and scope: schools near a given address with distances, plus NAPLAN ranking, sector, level and attendance. It also frames itself as the bundle variant, which contrasts with siblings like properties_schools_nearby and properties_schools_ranking without the agent needing to open their schemas.

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 an explicit routing rule: call this for the full Lifestyle 'Schools' card, but use `/schools/nearby` alone when rankings do not matter. That is a real when-to-use vs alternative decision. It stops short of a full 5 because properties_schools_ranking, the other obvious sibling, is never mentioned.

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