get_platform

Full record for one platform: eligibility, disqualifiers, step-by-step submission instructions, requirements, gotchas and expected outcome. All of that is free, and it is what decides whether this product should be submitted here at all. Pass brief: true to also get agentPrompt, the brief for that platform's form, and agentGotchas, the traps that only bite something filling it (a placeholder that contradicts its label, a second email input belonging to a newsletter, a honeypot). The brief spends one of the account's tracked platforms, so ask for it once the maker has decided to fill this form, not while you are still choosing between platforms. For a stored project, submission_playbook returns the same brief with the maker's values already in it.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
slugYesPlatform slug, e.g. "product-hunt".
briefNoInclude agentPrompt and agentGotchas. This is the paid half and it spends a tracked platform, once, for good. Leave it out while you are deciding where to submit: eligibility, disqualifiers, gotchas, approval time and link type all come back either way. A platform this account has already spent a slot on is free to brief again, so re-reading one costs nothing.
projectIdNoWhich project the brief is for, when brief is true. Omit it when the account has one project. A brief is one form being worked on for one product, and the project it belongs to cannot be issued another until this one has an outcome recorded.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does an excellent job: it discloses that the brief 'spends one of the account's tracked platforms' and that re-briefing an already-spent platform is free. It also explains the project constraint (a project cannot be issued another brief until the current one has an outcome recorded). These are non-obvious behavioral traits an agent must know.

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 longer than average but every sentence carries meaningful information, from the core purpose to the cost model and the alternative tool. It front-loads the main value and then details the paid/optional part. Slightly dense but not wasteful; a 4 reflects efficient use of length.

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 read-oriented tool with 3 parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description covers everything an agent needs: what data is returned (including the optional brief fields), the cost/behavior, the project constraint, and when to use an alternative. Nothing critical is missing.

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% and the schema itself is richly descriptive (explains the paid nature of brief, the project constraint, and when to omit projectId). The description text adds minimal additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 explicitly states it returns a 'full record for one platform' and enumerates the content (eligibility, disqualifiers, submission instructions, requirements, gotchas, expected outcome). It also distinguishes itself from siblings by mentioning the brief (agentPrompt/agentGotchas) and referencing submission_playbook, so an agent can clearly tell it apart from search_platforms and submission_playbook without opening schemas.

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?

The description provides explicit when-to-use guidance: it says to ask for the brief 'once the maker has decided to fill this form, not while you are still choosing between platforms' and that submission_playbook returns the same brief with values pre-filled for stored projects. It also states that eligibility and disqualifiers come back even without the brief, making the decision context clear.

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