Find medical cannabis clinics

find_clinics
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find UK clinics that can prescribe cannabis-based medicines. Use near (postcode or town) for 'near me' questions: nearest first, with miles. Filter by the conditions a clinic's published policy lists, consultation type (online, in person, phone), CQC rating, first-consultation fee, accepting patients and patient type; sort by distance, year-one clinic fees or rating. Returns up to 25 clinics at a time (page on with offset), each with slug, page URL, town, distance, first and follow-up fees, estimated year-one clinic fees (never medicine), consultation types, CQC rating, review score and which patient types it takes. A listed condition is the clinic's referral scope, not a statement that anyone qualifies: only a specialist decides that. It does not return doctors or appointment availability. For one clinic in full, use get_listing; to weigh several, compare_providers.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cqcNoCQC rating filter; GOOD_OR_BETTER keeps Good and Outstanding.
nearNoA UK postcode, outcode or town, e.g. "M1 1AE", "LS6" or "Bristol". Sorts nearest first and adds miles.
sortNodistance (default with `near`), az (default otherwise), za, cheapest / dearest by year-one clinic fees, rating.
limitNoHow many to return, 1-25. Default 10.
queryNoClinic name, matched as text. For a place use `near`.
offsetNoSkip this many results, for the next page (the answer says which offset comes next). Default 0.
conditionNoOnly clinics whose published policy lists this condition. One of: Anxiety / Depression; PTSD; Insomnia / Sleep disorders; Chronic pain; Neuropathic pain; Multiple Sclerosis / Spasticity; Cancer symptoms; IBD (Crohn's / Ulcerative Colitis); Migraine; Arthritis / inflammatory pain; ADHD / Autism spectrum symptoms; Endometriosis / women's health symptoms. A listed condition is the clinic's referral scope, never a statement that anyone qualifies.
patientTypeNoNEW_PATIENT, TRANSFER or ACTIVE_PATIENT. Drops clinics whose policy does not take it, and prices year one for that route.
radiusMilesNoOnly within this many miles of `near`. Ignored without `near`.
consultationTypeNoOnly clinics offering ONLINE (video), IN_PERSON or PHONE.
acceptingPatientsNoOnly clinics showing 'Accepting patients' (an active published policy).

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare this a safe, read-only, idempotent lookup; the description adds material behavior beyond that, including the 25-result cap, offset paging, the exact returned fields, the fact that year-one fees exclude medicine, and a legal caveat that listed conditions are referral scope rather than eligibility. It also explicitly states what is not returned (doctors, appointment availability).

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?

Dense but front-loaded: the first sentence states the purpose, the next sentences cover location, filters, sorting, return shape, caveats, and alternatives in that order. It is long for a single paragraph, but nearly every clause carries operational information.

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?

Despite 12 parameters, no required fields, and an output schema, the description covers the decision-relevant context: alternatives, pagination, return contents, fee semantics, and the important qualification caveat. Nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema carries the parameter documentation and baseline is 3. The description still adds useful synthesis, explaining 'nearest first, with miles' for `near`, paging via `offset`, and grouping the filters by purpose, which goes modestly beyond the schema text.

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 ('Find UK clinics that can prescribe cannabis-based medicines') and immediately distinguishes itself from the sibling tools get_listing and compare_providers. An agent can tell exactly what this tool returns versus neighboring tools without opening a schema.

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 explicit routing: use `near` for 'near me' questions, use get_listing for one clinic in full, and use compare_providers to weigh several. It also enumerates the filter and sort options, so the agent knows when each control applies.

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