california-hoa-law

search_hoa_knowledge

Read-onlyIdempotent

Free-text search across all Haveny California HOA articles. Returns the most relevant articles with the best-matching section excerpted. Use as a fallback when none of the more specific tools fit, or when the user's question is broad. IMPORTANT: This tool returns a haveny.co article URL in its first line. Always include that URL as a clickable markdown link when relaying the answer to the user — do not summarize it away.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. Description adds that the tool returns a URL in its first line and instructs how to handle it, providing useful behavioral context beyond 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?

Two concise sentences plus a crucial note. Every sentence adds value, and the description is front-loaded with purpose and usage.

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?

Given no output schema, the description adequately explains return format (articles with excerpts, URL in first line) and usage context. Could mention result sorting or pagination, but overall sufficient for the tool's simplicity.

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% with both parameters already described. Description does not add additional semantics beyond what the schema provides, resulting in baseline score.

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?

Clearly states it performs free-text search across all Haveny California HOA articles, returning relevant articles with excerpts. Distinguishes from siblings by being a fallback when specific tools don't fit.

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?

Explicitly says to use as a fallback when no specific tool fits or for broad questions. Also includes an important instruction about including the returned URL as a clickable markdown link.

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

A4.4/5.0

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct aspect of California HOA law (fines, board obligations, templates, homeowner rights, statutes, general search). The detailed descriptions eliminate ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., get_board_obligations, lookup_hoa_statute), making the set predictable and easy to navigate.

Tool Count5/5

Six tools is an appropriate number for the domain, covering key areas without being too sparse or overwhelming. Each tool serves a clear purpose.

Completeness4/5

The set covers major aspects of California HOA law (fines, board duties, homeowner rights, statutes, templates, general search). Some common scenarios (e.g., specific dispute types) rely on the general search fallback, but the overall coverage is strong.
