DC Hub

OverviewDiscussionsAdmin

Fetch

fetch
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch a DC Hub record for an id returned by the search tool (OpenAI Deep Research / ChatGPT connector format). Returns {id, title, text, url, metadata} — a citable public summary of one data-center facility (name, operator, location, status, market). For full structured specs (capacity MW, coordinates) use get_facility or open the url.

citationNoHow to attribute DC Hub: {source, url, license, cite_as, retrieved_at}, or the attribution line as a string.
provenanceNoSource, method, as_of, verification_counts, license, cite_as; quote it when citing.
_front_doorNoFirst-tool hint: plan_query(intent) returns the ordered plan.
_return_loopNoNext-session delta call (get_changes).
site_evaluation_handoffNoFollow-up calls [{tool, parameters, why}] when the payload carries coordinates.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile needs no restating. The description adds genuine context beyond that: the record is a citable, public summary with a named shape ({id, title, text, url, metadata}) and only a subset of facility attributes (name, operator, location, status, market). It stops short of noting whether any context is destroyed, but for a pure read that is minor.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the action and its precondition, then the return shape, then the routing to get_facility. The parenthetical connector-format note is the one piece of marginal value; otherwise the text is tight and earns its place.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be spelled out, yet the description still summarizes the shape usefully. Combined with the id precondition and the get_facility escape hatch, an agent has everything needed to call this correctly rather than reaching for a richer facility tool.

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 is 100% for the single `id` parameter, and the description's example (equinix-dc1-ashburn) largely duplicates what the schema already states. The only added nuance is the tie back to a prior `search` result, which the schema also carries, 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 (Fetch) and resource (a DC Hub record) and scopes it to ids returned by the `search` tool, which distinguishes it from the many `get_*` siblings. It also names get_facility as the route for full structured specs, so an agent can separate it from that sibling without opening schemas.

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 an explicit precondition (id must come from a prior `search` result) and an explicit alternative with its condition: use get_facility or open the url for full structured specs such as capacity MW and coordinates. Both when-to-use and the competing tool are named, not implied.

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