Search ski apartments

search_apartments
Read-onlyIdempotent

Main apartment-level search for winter ski accommodation in French ski areas and ski resorts. Results are apartments, not whole accommodations. Put destination, ski area, ski resort or accommodation names into keywords. Use structured parameters for amenities, rooms, living space, slope distance, ski area size, parent areas, accommodation category, chalet type, pets and price sorting. Put the traveller count into partySize, not keywords. Use weekId and durationWeeks for one- or two-week price, availability, bookability and special-discount data.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds useful behavioral context: results are apartments only, and weekId/durationWeeks are needed for week-specific data like price and bookability. This is beyond annotation data, though it does not detail response format or pagination.

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?

The description is dense but efficiently structured: three sentences cover purpose, scope, and key parameter guidance. Each sentence adds unique information. It is slightly long given the number of parameters, but remains focused and 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?

For an 18-parameter search tool with no output schema, the description covers essential usage patterns and distinguishes from sibling searches. However, it does not explain the response structure or pagination behavior, which would be helpful given no output schema. Overall, it is sufficiently complete for a complex tool.

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 100%, so all 18 parameters already have descriptions. The description adds value by clarifying usage patterns (e.g., 'Put the traveller count into partySize, not keywords') and grouping parameters by intent. It enriches the schema but does not fully compensate for the absence of an output schema.

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?

The description clearly states it is the 'Main apartment-level search for winter ski accommodation in French ski areas and ski resorts.' It specifies the resource (apartments), the verb (search), and explicitly distinguishes from whole accommodations, which differentiates it from sibling tools like list_accommodations.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides clear guidance on how to use parameters: put destinations in keywords, use structured filters for amenities/property requirements, put party size in partySize, and use weekId/durationWeeks for price/availability data. It implies when to use this search (for apartment-level results) but does not explicitly name alternative tools or list exclusion criteria.

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