Find phone number

find_phone_number
Read-only

Pass a list of LinkedIn profile URLs — one entry for a single person, all of them at once for a batch (they are looked up in parallel, costing one tool call against the loop guard, not N). Returns one result per URL in the same order. Airscale brokers providers like RocketReach. Persists nothing — use the returned numbers however the agent needs them (e.g. tell the user, or stash them on prospects via update_prospect).

A LinkedIn profile URL is the only accepted input — this tool cannot look a person up by email or name. When a record (a HubSpot/CRM contact, a prospect row, a spreadsheet line) has no LinkedIn URL but does have the person's email, first call find_linkedin_url(email=...) to resolve one, then pass that URL here. Apply this resolve-then-lookup step to every record, not just the first; skip the phone lookup for any person you cannot get a URL for.

Costs 8 Sliq credits per number found, when run on Sliq's shared Airscale account. Misses (no number on file) and upstream failures are free. A worst-case check runs up front on the Sliq path: the whole batch is refused unless the balance covers 8 credits per URL (any URL could be a hit). So no API call is ever spent on a lookup that can't be billed, and a user low on credits is told to top up or connect their own key. If the user has connected their own Airscale key (BYO, via the integrations page), lookups run against that account instead — no Sliq credit gate and no Sliq credit charge. A list of result dicts in input order. Per hit: {status: 'success', found: True, phone_number, phone_numbers, provider, linkedin_url, credits_charged: 8} (0 on the BYO path) — phone_number is the first number, phone_numbers the full list. Per miss: {..., found: False, phone_number: None, phone_numbers: [], credits_charged: 0}. A malformed (non-LinkedIn) URL or an upstream failure on one URL becomes a per-item {found: False, error, credits_charged: 0} in that slot — it never aborts the rest of the batch. If the up-front worst-case credit check fails, it raises InsufficientCreditsError (no lookups are attempted).

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond readOnlyHint=true: discloses cost (8 credits per number, misses/upstream failures free), the up-front worst-case batch credit gate that refuses the whole batch with InsufficientCreditsError, the BYO Airscale key path that bypasses the credit gate, parallel batch execution counting as one loop-guard call, and that per-item failures never abort the batch. Also confirms 'Persists nothing', consistent with the read-only annotation.

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?

Front-loads the core purpose in the first sentence and organizes the rest into scope, cost, and edge cases. The credit-gate paragraph is dense but each sentence carries distinct operational information; only marginal tightening would help.

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 billed, batch, externally-brokered lookup tool this is essentially complete: input constraints, cost model, credit-gate failure mode, BYO path, per-item error handling, ordering, and persistence guidance are all covered. Return shapes are spelled out in the embedded returns block despite there being no formal output schema.

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 baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning about linkedin_urls: batch semantics, parallel lookup, one loop-guard call, and results returned in input order. It does not discuss on_behalf_of, but the schema already documents that parameter fully, so the gap is minor.

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 phone numbers for people from LinkedIn URLs, brokered via Airscale) and draws a hard boundary: 'A LinkedIn profile URL is the only accepted input — this tool cannot look a person up by email or name.' That boundary cleanly separates it from siblings like find_email and find_linkedin_url.

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 when-to-use (records with a LinkedIn URL), when-not (records with only an email or name), and the exact alternative path: call find_linkedin_url(email=...) first, then pass the URL here, applying it to every record and skipping anyone without a resolvable URL. Also names update_prospect as the place to persist results, routing the agent correctly.

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