Get the price for a specific Parallax service by id (e.g. "mastering", "agent_bundle", "setup"). Returns the price string and a link.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| service_id | Yes | Service id from list_services (e.g. "mastering", "agent_bundle"). |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description indicates a read operation that returns a price string and a link, which is safe. However, with no annotations provided, it does not disclose potential error conditions, authentication requirements, or rate limits. The description carries full burden but provides minimal behavioral context.
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, clear sentence that front-loads the purpose and return value. Every word earns its place with no redundancy or verbosity.
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?
For a simple one-parameter tool, the description explains the input (with examples) and output (price string and link). It is moderately complete, lacking only error handling or edge cases, but these are not critical given the simplicity.
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% and the schema already describes the service_id parameter with examples. The description repeats the examples but adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline without exceeding it.
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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'price for a specific Parallax service', with explicit examples of service IDs. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'list_services' (which lists services) and 'start_project' (which initiates a project).
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 mentioning 'specific Parallax service by id', but does not explicitly state prerequisites (e.g., using list_services first) or when not to use this tool. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool serves a distinct purpose: company overview, service listing, specific pricing, booking a call, and starting a project. No two tools overlap in functionality.
All tools follow a consistent 'verb_noun' pattern in snake_case (e.g., book_call, get_company_info, list_services), making tool selection predictable and intuitive.
With 5 tools, the set is well-scoped for the domain of sales and project initiation, covering the essential customer journey without unnecessary clutter.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle from initial discovery (get_company_info, list_services, get_pricing) to conversion (book_call, start_project), with no obvious gaps.
