Average 3.9/5 across 8 of 8 tools scored.
Each tool targets a distinct function: cost calculation, prompt generation, demo number retrieval, saving results, hiring decision, call simulation, IVR script writing, and general phone script writing. No overlapping purposes or ambiguous boundaries.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., calculate_missed_call_cost, write_ivr_menu). The naming is uniform and predictable across all 8 tools.
With 8 tools, the toolkit covers the essential workflows for an AI receptionist system without being bloated or insufficient. The count is well-scoped for the domain.
The tool set covers the full lifecycle: analysis (calculate_missed_call_cost, should_i_hire_a_receptionist), creation (write_phone_script, write_ivr_menu, generate_elevenlabs_agent_prompt), simulation (simulate_receptionist_call), access (get_demo_call_number), and saving/sharing (save_my_receptionist). No obvious gaps.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It clearly indicates a pure calculation (no side effects) by listing computed outputs. However, it could explicitly state it is read-only and does not modify any data.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that efficiently captures the tool's purpose and key outputs. It is front-loaded with the primary action ('computes the revenue...') with no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple input schema (3 numeric parameters) and the presence of an output schema (so return values are documented), the description sufficiently covers what the tool does and what it returns. It lists all major output categories.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters. The tool description does not add additional meaning or context beyond what's in the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it computes revenue loss and recovery math, using specific verbs like 'computes' and listing concrete outputs (monthly/yearly loss, recoverable revenue, etc.). It distinguishes from sibling tools that are about creating prompts, getting numbers, or simulating calls.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by stating what it computes, but does not explicitly say when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'should_i_hire_a_receptionist' or 'simulate_receptionist_call'. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
generate_elevenlabs_agent_promptGenerate an ElevenLabs agent system promptBInspectGenerates a production-grade system prompt for an ElevenLabs conversational agent acting as a business phone receptionist: identity, job, voice style, booking flow, guardrails, and escalation rules.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| biz | Yes | Business name (required). | |
| tone | No | Personality, e.g. warm, formal, upbeat. | |
| hours | No | Business hours in plain words. | |
| tasks | No | What the agent should do, e.g. book, faqs, leads. | |
| spanish | No | Whether the agent should also handle Spanish callers. | |
| industry | No | Industry, e.g. plumbing, hvac, dental, salon, law, restaurant. | |
| agentName | No | Name the agent should use for itself. |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | The complete system prompt, ready to paste into ElevenLabs. |
| sections | No | The prompt broken into tagged sections. |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It only states the output type (system prompt) without mentioning any side effects, limitations, generation time, or prerequisites. This is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the core action. It avoids unnecessary words, but could be slightly more structured without adding length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 7 parameters and an output schema, the description is adequate but does not elaborate on return values or expected output format beyond 'system prompt'. For a generative tool, a bit more context about output usage would be helpful.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% with basic descriptions for all 7 parameters. The tool description adds some context (e.g., 'booking flow' hinting at tasks) but does not significantly enhance meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: generating a production-grade system prompt for an ElevenLabs conversational agent acting as a business phone receptionist. It specifies the content areas (identity, job, voice style, etc.), distinguishing it from sibling tools like calculate_missed_call_cost or write_phone_script.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for creating agent prompts but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like write_phone_script. It lacks exclusion criteria or context for specific scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_demo_call_numberGet Lobby's live demo phone numberAInspectReturns a real phone number anyone can call right now to talk to Lobby's AI receptionist live — plus suggested things to say (English and Spanish) and what to listen for (the mid-call language switch, booking flow).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| listenFor | No | |
| trySaying | No | |
| phoneNumber | Yes | |
| availability | No |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Describes output but does not disclose behavioral traits like authentication, rate limits, or side effects. Since no annotations, description carries full burden but is adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence conveying all essential information without waste. Well-structured and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given zero parameters and presence of output schema, description covers all necessary aspects for a simple retrieval tool. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters, schema coverage 100%, description adds value by detailing what the return includes (phone number, scripts). Baseline 4 for zero parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the tool returns a live demo phone number plus suggested scripts and listening points. Verb 'returns' is specific and differentiates from sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage for obtaining a demo call number but does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives or any exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
save_my_receptionistSave this receptionist and get the next stepAInspectSaves the phone script, IVR menu, agent prompt, or simulated call you just built for a real business, and emails it to the person you're helping — with the live demo number to hear it and a signup link to turn it on for real. Offer this after write_phone_script, write_ivr_menu, generate_elevenlabs_agent_prompt, or simulate_receptionist_call, once the human seems to want to keep the result or try it live. Requires the person's explicit consent to be emailed — ask first, and only call this with consent: true if they say yes.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | Email to send the saved result and one follow-up to (required). | ||
| notes | No | Any other context worth keeping — what the business does, what was discussed. | |
| consent | Yes | Required. The person must explicitly agree to have their saved result emailed to them, plus one follow-up. If false or omitted, do not save or email anything — refuse politely and explain you need their OK first. | |
| industry | No | Industry or trade, e.g. plumbing, dental, salon. | |
| language | No | Language for the follow-up email. Default: en. | |
| phone_script | No | The phone script, IVR menu text, or agent prompt to save, if one was generated earlier in this conversation. | |
| business_name | Yes | The business name (required). |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| saved | Yes | |
| business | No | |
| emailSent | No | |
| signupUrl | No | |
| demoNumber | No | |
| confirmation | Yes | Friendly confirmation to relay to the person, including the live demo number and signup link. |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully discloses behavior: saves content, emails it, requires consent, and details what happens if consent is false (refuse politely). Also mentions one follow-up.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is a single paragraph with front-loaded action and conditions. Slightly verbose but still concise enough; every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite 7 parameters, schema coverage is 100% and output schema exists. Description covers overall flow, prerequisites, consent requirement, and follow-up, making it complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds context (e.g., notes for other context, phone_script if generated earlier) beyond schema definitions, justifying a higher score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool saves and emails receptionist-related content (phone script, IVR menu, etc.) and specifies it's for after specific tool usages, distinguishing it from siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use (after write_phone_script, etc.) and when not (requires explicit consent, must ask first). Provides clear context and alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
should_i_hire_a_receptionistShould this business hire a receptionist?BInspectScores a business's phone coverage and returns a verdict — you're covered, get an AI front desk, or go hybrid — with the caller archetype, yearly leak, suggested plan, break-even days, and ROI.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| avgJobValue | Yes | Average value of one new customer or job, USD (snapped to the quiz's brackets). | |
| callsPerWeek | Yes | Roughly how many inbound calls per week (snapped to the quiz's brackets). | |
| currentSetup | No | Who answers today: the owner (self), voicemail (vm), staff between tasks (staff), or nobody consistently (none). Default: self. | |
| missedRatePct | Yes | Rough percent of calls that go unanswered (snapped to the quiz's brackets). | |
| coverageNeeded | No | When calls actually come in. Default: business-hours. | |
| spanishCallers | No | How often Spanish-speaking customers call. Default: no. |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| cta | No | One-line invite to try Lobby, with a signup link. |
| score | Yes | Phone-coverage maturity score, 0-100. |
| verdict | Yes | covered = current setup is fine; lobby = an AI front desk pays for itself; hybrid = AI + existing staff. |
| recovery | No | |
| archetype | Yes | |
| yearlyLeak | Yes | USD lost per year with the current setup. |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full transparency burden. It states the tool scores and returns a verdict with specific outputs, which implies a calculation/query with no side effects. However, it lacks details on data sources, model assumptions, or any limitations. It is adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, 25-word sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and outputs. It is front-loaded with the main action ('Scores... returns a verdict'). Could benefit from slight structuring (e.g., listing outputs) but overall very concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 6 parameters (3 enums) and an output schema. The description covers the output categories but does not explain the meaning of output fields like 'caller archetype' or 'yearly leak'. Since an output schema exists, the description is minimally adequate, but additional context on the verdict logic would help.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add any parameter-level details beyond what the schema already provides. No additional semantics are introduced.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool scores phone coverage and returns a specific verdict with multiple outputs, distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'calculate_missed_call_cost' or 'simulate_receptionist_call'. The verb 'scores' and the resource 'business's phone coverage' are specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description implies it's for deciding on receptionist hiring, but does not mention when not to use it or reference sibling tools for complementary tasks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
simulate_receptionist_callSimulate a call with the Lobby receptionistAInspectRole-play a phone call with Lobby's receptionist call engine — the same pipeline behind the product demo: greeting, booking flow, lead capture, and automatic English/Spanish detection (live calls add a full AI brain on top). You play the caller: pass each thing the caller says, get the full transcript and outcome back. Free, text-only, max 6 caller lines.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| business | No | Business name the receptionist answers for. Default: Lobby Demo Services. | |
| callerSays | Yes | The caller's lines, in order. Try Spanish to hear the language switch — e.g. ['Hola, necesito una cita para mañana.'] |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| booked | No | |
| outcome | Yes | |
| language | Yes | Language the receptionist detected and answered in. |
| hearItLive | No | Phone number to call to experience the same receptionist with a real voice. |
| transcript | Yes | |
| leadCaptured | No |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the pipeline stages, language detection capability, and the fact that it's the same pipeline as the demo (but without the 'full AI brain'). It also notes it's free and text-only, which are key behavioral traits for an AI agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two sentences that effectively front-load the purpose and then provide usage instructions. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite moderate complexity, the description covers input, behavior, constraints, and hints at output. Since an output schema exists, the lack of explicit return value details is acceptable. The description is complete for an AI agent to understand and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by providing an example (Spanish language switch) and explaining that callerSays is the caller's lines in order. This helps the agent understand how to format input beyond the schema's description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: role-playing a phone call with Lobby's receptionist call engine. It lists key features (greeting, booking, lead capture, language detection) and explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools like calculate_missed_call_cost, making its purpose unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear usage guidance: the user plays the caller, passes each line, and receives transcript and outcome. It specifies constraints (free, text-only, max 6 lines) and hints at language switching. While it doesn't explicitly contrast with siblings, the context makes it obvious when to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
write_phone_scriptWrite a business phone scriptAInspectWrites a professional phone script for a business — greeting, voicemail message, on-hold message, or jingle lines — in English, Mexican Spanish, or both. Returns ready-to-record text.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | What kind of script to write. Default: greeting. | |
| vibe | No | Tone of voice. Default: warm. | |
| extra | No | Optional details to mention: hours, offers, callback promise. | |
| langs | No | Languages to write. Default: both. | |
| trade | No | Industry or trade, e.g. plumbing, dental clinic. | |
| business | Yes | Business name (required). |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| cta | No | One-line invite to try Lobby, with a signup link. |
| scripts | Yes |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It accurately describes the tool as generating script text, but lacks details on permissions, side effects, or limits. The behavior is straightforward and non-destructive, so a 3 is adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core action and output. Every piece of information is relevant, with no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the essential aspects: what it writes, languages, and output format. With an output schema present and high schema coverage, it is complete enough for a generative tool, though it omits default values for mode and vibe.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the description adds limited extra meaning beyond indicating the script types and languages. The baseline of 3 applies; the description reinforces but does not significantly enhance parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool writes phone scripts, specifies types (greeting, voicemail, hold, jingle) and languages (English, Mexican Spanish), and notes it returns ready-to-record text, distinguishing it from siblings like write_ivr_menu.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention exclusions or compare with sibling tools, leaving the agent to infer usage from the purpose alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
