Search-box keyword suggestions

keyword_suggestions
Read-only

Autocomplete suggestions from Google, Bing, YouTube, Amazon, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo and Yandex, merged and de-duplicated. No search volume; pass the results to keyword_overview for metrics. Free: needs an API key but no balance.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so safety is covered; the description adds genuinely useful behavior beyond that — cross-engine merging and de-duplication, absence of volume metrics, and the cost/auth model (API key required, no balance consumed). It stops short of describing output shape or result limits, which matters since there is no output schema.

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?

Three short sentences, zero filler, with the core capability first, the limitation and handoff second, and the cost model last. Every clause carries information an agent would act on.

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 four-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, output character (merged/de-duplicated), absence of metrics, and billing/auth. What remains missing is roughly how many suggestions are returned and whether per-engine provenance is included, a minor gap given full schema coverage.

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% and the enum descriptions for mode, market, and engines already explain defaults and behavior. The description only echoes the engine list and adds no syntax, default, or interaction detail beyond the schema, so baseline 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?

The description opens with a specific resource (autocomplete suggestions) and enumerates all eight source engines, plus states that results are merged and de-duplicated. Combined with the tool name, an agent can tell exactly what comes back and how it differs from keyword_overview, which is 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 Guidelines4/5

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

It gives clear routing guidance: results carry no search volume and should be passed to keyword_overview for metrics, and it notes the call is free but requires an API key. It does not distinguish this tool from other discovery siblings such as keyword_ideas or keyword_gap, so the when-not-to-use picture is incomplete.

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