bk_search_operators

Read-onlyIdempotent

Find LIVE-BOOKABLE accommodation operators near a location via the live booking partner (real-time inventory). Use this when the user wants to actually BOOK and needs live availability/pricing — this is DIFFERENT from search_campsites (our own directory). Returns operator_id values that the other bk_ tools need. Prefer this when the user says things like 'book', 'reserve', 'is it available', or asks for real prices for specific dates.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive safety, so the bar is lower. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond that: real-time inventory via a live booking partner and the fact that returned operator_id values are consumed by other bk_ tools. It stops short of rate limits or auth requirements.

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 core purpose, then usage routing and return-value chaining. Slightly repetitive with the capitalized DIFFERENT plus the parenthetical, but every sentence carries useful information and nothing is padded.

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?

There is no output schema, yet the description supplies the key return contract (operator_id values that feed other bk_ tools). Combined with the safety annotations and full schema coverage, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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%, so the schema fully documents latitude, longitude, limit, and within_km with defaults and ranges. The description only implies location-based search and adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 applies.

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 (find) and resource (live-bookable accommodation operators) with scope (near a location, via live booking partner). It explicitly distinguishes itself from search_campsites and names the sibling it is not, so an agent can route 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 Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit when-to-use triggers ('book', 'reserve', 'is it available', 'real prices for specific dates'), names the alternative (search_campsites) and the condition that selects it. 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.
