Find best (ranked)

find_best
Read-onlyIdempotent

Answer 'best for ' and 'cheapest ' directly: returns the theme's vendors ranked by entry price (cheapest first, quote-only last), each with its verified compliance facts (HIPAA/SOC 2/GDPR), free-tier flag, best-for tags and the entry plan's source. Conjunctive fact filters narrow it to what this index has actually CONFIRMED — requireHipaa / requireSoc2 / requireGdpr / requireFreeTier (e.g. 'best CRM for HIPAA' = section 'crm-software' + requireHipaa:true). Omit all filters to rank the whole theme by price. Set section to the theme slug from list_sections. Never infers a fact it has not verified.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sectionNoTheme slug to query (default "ai-receptionists"). A theme is any of the 271 pricing topics this index covers: the deep hub sections (e.g. ai-receptionists) plus the many catalog topics (e.g. vpn-services, web-hosting, password-managers). Call list_sections or list_coverage for the full slug list — do not assume the old four-section set.
requireGdprNoOnly vendors with confirmed GDPR compliance.
requireSoc2NoOnly vendors with a confirmed SOC 2 attestation.
requireHipaaNoOnly vendors with confirmed HIPAA support (a BAA).
requireFreeTierNoOnly vendors with a genuine $0 forever plan.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations (readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=false) are confirmed and extended. The description adds specifics: ranking logic, compliance facts, conjunctive filtering, and a warning about not inferring unverified facts.

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?

The description is concise (3-4 sentences), front-loaded with purpose, and every sentence adds essential detail without redundancy.

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?

The description covers output structure (vendors with compliance facts, tags, source) and dependencies (section from list_sections). Missing explicit output format or pagination, but sufficient for the tool's complexity.

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% with adequate descriptions. The tool description adds value by explaining how filters work conjunctively and the ranking logic, going beyond schema details.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: returns vendors ranked by entry price with compliance facts, directly answering queries like 'best <theme> for <use case>' and 'cheapest <theme>'. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on price-based ranking within a theme.

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?

The description gives explicit use cases (best/cheapest queries) and instructions for filters and section selection. However, it lacks explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use guidance relative to siblings like search_products or find_products.

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

A4.3/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Tools have distinct purposes, but some overlap exists between 'compare' and 'compare_products' (both do side-by-side comparisons, one for vendors, one for products). However, descriptions clarify the domain difference, and most tools have clear boundaries.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., list_sections, search_vendors, get_benchmark). No mixed conventions or vague verbs.

Tool Count4/5

19 tools is slightly on the higher side but appropriate for a comprehensive pricing index covering 271 themes. Each tool has a clear role, and the count does not feel bloated.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers listing, searching, comparing, finding, detailed info retrieval, and price change tracking. No obvious gaps for the domain of pricing and comparison.
