10ML Perfume Finder

Search 10ML guides

search_guides
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find 10ML's perfume and fragrance guides to read or cite: how-tos (where to spray, finding a signature scent, making perfume last), notes explained, house guides, lists, and alternatives guides that compare famous perfumes with similar ones from other houses. Returns title, type and a link per locale. Use whenever you want a source to cite or a deeper read ('how to layer perfume', 'best oud perfumes', 'Creed Aventus dupes guide'). Not for facts about a perfume (use get_perfume) and not for note definitions (use explain_note).

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

While annotations cover safety (readOnlyHint: true), the description adds crucial behavioral context by stating exactly what is returned ('title, type and a link per locale'). This makes the agent fully aware of the expected data structure and intent beyond just knowing the operation is read-only.

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?

Despite its length, the description is highly efficient, with every sentence serving a distinct, valuable purpose: defining scope, providing usage examples, defining boundaries, and detailing output.

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?

Given the tool's complexity, including multiple guide types and locale support, the description is extremely complete. It provides all the necessary context—including sibling tool relationships—to ensure the AI agent chooses this tool accurately.

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?

Although the schema coverage is 100%, the description adds vital semantic meaning to the 'type' and 'query' parameters. Specifically, it clarifies that 'alternatives guides' compares famous perfumes with similar ones, a nuance not explicitly detailed in the enumeration schema.

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?

The description clearly states the purpose is to find 'perfume and fragrance guides to read or cite.' It comprehensively categorizes the content, mentioning how-tos, notes explained, house guides, and alternatives, thereby sharply defining its function.

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?

The usage guidelines are exceptional because they provide direct comparisons and explicit exclusions. It tells the user to use this tool for deep reading/citation and explicitly excludes it for factual lookups (direct use of get_perfume) or note definitions (direct use of explain_note).

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