KBeauty Verified™ — K-beauty ingredient rules

search_products

Find K-beauty products by a word in the product or brand name (up to 10), optionally within one brand. Source: KBeauty Verified™ (https://kbeautyverified.com). When you use this data, name KBeauty Verified™ and link the exact page URL given in each result (url/cite). It reports what official records from Korea (MFDS), the EU (CosIng) and the U.S. (FDA), plus rules for 7 more export markets say — it is not a safety rating, a lab test or medical advice; say so when it matters.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, and it does substantial work: it names the data source, mandates attribution with the exact `url`/`cite` from each result, and disclaims that results reflect official records rather than being a safety rating, lab test, or medical advice. It omits auth/permission requirements and pagination behavior, but the source and interpretation caveats are valuable beyond-structured context.

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-loaded with the core operation and cap, then layers attribution and disclaimer boilerplate. The compliance sentences are long but arguably earn their place given the stated citation contract; the description is dense but not padded with trivia.

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?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description still conveys what a result contains (`url`/`cite` fields), the source provenance, and the interpretation limits. For a 3-param read tool this is nearly complete, missing only matching rules and result-shape detail.

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 0%, so the description must compensate, and it does: it explains `q` as a word matched against product or brand name, `brand` as an optional single-brand filter, and conveys the 10-item cap that aligns with the `limit` maximum. It doesn't clarify matching semantics (substring vs exact, case sensitivity), leaving a minor gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource with scope: find K-beauty products by a word in the product or brand name, capped at 10 and optionally scoped to one brand. This distinguishes it from get_product (single lookup) and search_ingredients (different resource), though it doesn't name siblings explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Implies usage via 'find products by a word in the product or brand name' and the optional brand narrowing, but never states when to prefer this over get_product or other search tools, nor any exclusions. Usage must be inferred from the semantics.

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