findClientByIdentifier

findClientByIdentifier
Read-only

Look up a client ID by a single identifier (phone or email). Returns the client ID or null. Simpler than resolveClient. No creation, no merge. Use for a quick check: "is this phone number already a client?".

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already mark this as read-only and closed-world, and the description reinforces that by saying there is no creation or merge. It also discloses that the result may be null, which is useful behavioral context beyond the annotations.

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?

The description is short, front-loaded with the core action, and every sentence contributes useful routing or behavioral information. The example question is compact and clarifies intent.

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 simple two-parameter read-only lookup, the description covers purpose, key exclusions, return behavior, and an explicit usage scenario. Combined with the complete schema and annotations, an agent has enough information to call it correctly.

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?

The schema has 100% description coverage and an enum for the identifier type, so the parameters are already well documented. The description adds only the high-level note that it accepts a single identifier, not additional format or validation details.

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: look up a client ID by a single phone or email identifier. It also clarifies the return value and explicitly distinguishes the tool from creation, merge, and resolveClient operations.

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?

Provides an explicit use case: a quick check for whether a phone number is already a client. It names resolveClient as the more complex alternative and clarifies that this tool does not create or merge records.

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