List coverage

list_coverage
Read-onlyIdempotent

What this index actually covers, so a miss reads as out-of-scope rather than broken. Now spans 271 pricing themes — the deep hub sections PLUS dozens of catalog topics (VPNs, web hosting, password managers, CRM, e-commerce, AI tools, and more): total theme count, the section/catalog split, total vendors, per-theme vendor counts and kind, the data's date range (min/max source accessedAt), the questions it answers well and what it does NOT cover. Derived from every theme's dataset.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains the output structure (theme count, split, vendor details, date range, coverage blind spots). No contradiction with readOnlyHint or idempotentHint.

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?

The description is informative but slightly dense. It front-loads the core purpose and then lists specifics. Could be slightly more concise, but every sentence adds value.

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?

For a parameterless tool with no output schema, the description is exceptionally complete. It details all return aspects and clarifies the tool's role in understanding scope vs. errors.

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?

No parameters exist, baseline is 4. Description does not need to add parameter info since schema coverage is 100% (empty properties).

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: to list what the index covers, distinguishing coverage from brokenness. It specifies the output details (theme count, section split, etc.) and implicitly differentiates from siblings like 'list_sections' by focusing on overall coverage.

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 implies using this tool to determine if a miss is due to lack of coverage (i.e., out-of-scope). It provides context for when to consult it, but does not explicitly mention when not to use it or compare it to alternatives.

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.
