App rank in one category chart

app_category_rankings_single
Read-only

An app's current position in a single category chart. Use it when you know exactly which chart you mean; app_category_rankings lists every chart the app appears in. Costs 2 credits.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cacheNoUse a cached result. True by default; false re-checks the store live (~7s).
storeYesWhich app store: "android" (Google Play) or "ios" (App Store).
countryYesTwo-letter ISO country code, e.g. "US", "GB", "DE".
packageYesApp package / bundle id, e.g. "com.discord" (Android) or a numeric App Store id. If you only have the app name, call app_search first to resolve it.
categoryNoCategory tag from list_categories.
sub_categoryNoChart inside the category: "topselling_free", "topgrossing", "topselling_paid" on Google Play; "top-free", "top-paid" on the App Store. list_categories has the valid tags.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a genuinely useful non-annotation trait, 'Costs 2 credits', which lets an agent budget calls. It does not mention the cache/live-recheck behavior, so it is not fully complete.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and followed by the routing rule. Nearly zero waste; only the credits sentence is a slight tack-on but it earns its place.

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?

For a read-only lookup with no output schema and fully documented parameters, this is close to sufficient: purpose, alternative routing and cost are all stated. It lacks any hint about what the returned ranking figure looks like or how caching affects freshness.

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%, with each parameter documented including enums, examples and the category/sub_category pairing. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond the schema, so the baseline of 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 and resource: an app's current position in a single category chart. It also names the sibling app_category_rankings as the multi-chart alternative, so an agent can immediately tell the two apart.

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 selection rule: use this when you know exactly which chart you mean, otherwise use app_category_rankings. The when-to-use and the alternative are both spelled out.

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