Read-only

The API Evangelist video library — interviews and discussions from across the API space, searchable by transcript.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qNoFree text over title, summary, tags, and body.
pageNoPage number, 1-based (default 1). Use with `limit` to walk a long list.
sortNoOrder when there is no `q`: "default" (dated content newest first, the rest A-Z), "title" (A-Z) or "date" (newest first). A `q` always orders by relevance.
tagsNoTag slugs; match any by default.
limitNoResults per page, 1-100 (default 25).
matchNoHow multiple `tags` combine: "any" (default, at least one) or "all" (every tag).any
fieldsNoReturn only these keys on each record, e.g. ["slug","title","url"].
contextNoOptional: why you are asking. One sentence — the task you are trying to complete, or what you expect to get back. Never included in the answer and never used to rank; it is read only when a result turns out to be wrong, which is when knowing the intent is what makes the report actionable.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description usefully adds that the corpus is a bounded local library (openWorld=false consistency) searchable over transcripts, but says nothing about pagination, result shape, or ranking behavior beyond the schema's sort notes.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler instructions. The clause 'interviews and discussions from across the API space' is mild editorializing, but it does convey content type, so the sentence is efficient overall.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For an all-optional 8-parameter search tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers the resource adequately. However, given the dense find_* sibling cluster, it omits the when-to-use context that would make selection unambiguous.

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 already documents all 8 parameters, which sets the baseline at 3. The phrase 'searchable by transcript' loosely signals the free-text scope of q, but the schema's own wording ('title, summary, tags, and body') carries the detail, so the description adds little param-level meaning.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Identifies a specific resource (the API Evangelist video library) and its scope (interviews and discussions from across the API space), with an implied search verb via 'searchable by transcript'. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling find_papers/find_posts/find_conversations, so an agent must infer the difference from the noun alone.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No when-to-use guidance and no named alternatives. It never tells the agent when to prefer find_videos over find_papers, find_posts, or the broader search_api_evangelist, leaving routing to inference.

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