Recommend legal AI tools for a firm

recommend_legal_ai_tools

Read-onlyIdempotent

Rank legal AI tools by fit for a specific practice area and firm size, with a score and the matched factors behind it. Use this instead of search_legal_ai_tools when someone describes their firm (e.g. "solo family law practice" or "20-attorney litigation firm") and wants a recommendation, not just a list.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`limit`	No	Maximum number of recommendations to return (1-5, default 5)
`firm_size`	Yes	Firm size: solo, small (2-10 attorneys), mid (11-50), or large (50+)
`practice_area`	Yes	Practice-area category slug — get slugs from list_legal_ai_categories

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`count`	Yes	Number of recommendations returned
`recommendations`	Yes	Ranked highest-fit first. Empty when nothing in the directory matched either input.

A4.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the safety profile needs no description support. The description adds that results carry a score and the matched factors behind it, but with an output schema present even that is largely redundant, and permission/prerequisite or ordering behavior is unstated.

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?

Two sentences, zero filler. The ranking behavior leads and the sibling disambiguation follows, so the most decision-relevant information is front-loaded.

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 full schema coverage, an output schema, and annotations covering the safety profile, the agent has nearly everything needed to call this correctly. The only residual gap is that practice_area slugs come from list_legal_ai_categories, which is disclosed in the schema rather than the description, a minor omission.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% with enums for firm_size and practice_area, so the schema already carries parameter meaning. The description reinforces that these two inputs drive ranking but adds no format or edge-case detail beyond the schema, which is the correct baseline for full coverage.

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 ('Rank legal AI tools') plus the ranking dimensions (practice area and firm size) and the output shape (a score with matched factors). It explicitly contrasts itself with search_legal_ai_tools, so an agent can discriminate it from siblings 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 an explicit routing rule: use this instead of search_legal_ai_tools when the user describes their firm and wants a recommendation rather than a list. The two quoted examples ('solo family law practice', '20-attorney litigation firm') make the trigger condition concrete.

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