Find a battery series

find_series
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find a stationary battery or product series that BAE Batteries USA offers by chemistry (VRLA gel, AGM, flooded, pure lead, lithium), nominal voltage (2 V, 6 V, 12 V, 48 V ...) or application (telecom, utility, solar, UPS, switchgear). Returns each series with its product page and documents.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world behavior, so the description only needs to add context. It does add that results include each series' product page and documents, which is useful since there is no output schema. Pagination and behavior on empty results are unstated.

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 sentences, zero filler: the capability and its filter facets come first, and the return content follows. Nothing is buried or repeated.

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 5-parameter search tool with no output schema, the description covers what can be filtered and roughly what is returned. It leaves open how multiple filters combine (AND vs OR), whether result sets are capped, and how discontinued series behave beyond the schema's default note.

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%, so all five parameters are already documented. The description restates the same chemistry/voltage/application values (with '...' hinting at more) but adds no syntax, matching behavior, or combination logic beyond what the schema provides.

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?

Uses a specific verb ('Find') and a precise resource ('stationary battery or product series that BAE Batteries USA offers'), and enumerates the filter facets. It does not name or differentiate itself from sibling tools like search or fetch, so it stops short of a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The enumeration of chemistry/voltage/application implies when this lookup is appropriate, but there is no explicit guidance on when to use it versus the generic 'search' tool or when to switch to 'fetch'. No exclusions or prerequisites are stated.

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