10ML Perfume Finder

Pick perfumes for an occasion

pick_for_occasion

Read-onlyIdempotent

Perfume and cologne picks for a moment: a season, an occasion (daytime, office, casual, evening, date night, special occasion), an audience and a style, each with the reason it fits. Use for 'a fresh summer office scent for men', 'date night perfume for her' or 'what fragrance to wear to a winter wedding'. Give at least one of season, occasion, gender or style. Not for taste-based matching (use recommend_perfumes), not for gifts (use find_gift) and not for classics (use search_perfumes with iconic true).

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so safety is covered. The description adds value beyond them by disclosing that results are justified ('each with the reason it fits') and by stating the minimum filter requirement, though it says nothing about paging volume or how thin results are when only one filter is supplied.

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-loaded with the purpose, then example phrasings, then the input constraint, then exclusions – a logical order with no filler. The middle example sentence is somewhat long with four quoted queries, but each example disambiguates a different filter combination.

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?

Eight all-optional parameters, five enum sets, an output schema and full annotations mean much is already structured, and the description correctly focuses on selection criteria. It leaves pagination (limit/cursor) and response_format unmentioned, relying on the schema for those, which is acceptable but leaves a small gap for a browsing-style tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the enums and descriptions are already rich, so baseline is 3. The description still adds meaning the schema cannot: that at least one of season/occasion/gender/style must be provided even though all parameters are technically optional.

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+resource ('perfume and cologne picks') plus the exact dimensions it keys on (season, occasion, audience, style) and that each pick carries a rationale. It is clearly separable from recommend_perfumes, find_gift and search_perfumes, which are named explicitly.

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 three concrete query phrasings, an explicit input constraint ('give at least one of season, occasion, gender or style'), and explicit when-not routing to three named sibling tools with the condition that selects each.

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