Tool DescriptionsA

Average 4.2/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clear, non-overlapping purposes: search_properties returns a list of listings with basic info, while get_property_details returns full details for a single property. An agent can easily decide which to use based on whether it needs a broad search or deep dive, with no ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: 'search_properties' and 'get_property_details'. The verbs are distinct and descriptive, and the naming style is uniform with no mixed conventions, making the surface predictable.

Tool Count3/5

With only two tools, the set is on the thin side, fitting the borderline category in the calibration. However, for a focused Redfin server, search and details are the core operations, so each tool earns its place despite the low count.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers the fundamental read-only workflow: find properties via search and then retrieve detailed information for a specific one. Minor gaps exist, such as no explicit tool for market trends or property comparison, but the core due-diligence and investment analysis needs are addressed.

Available Tools

2 tools
get_property_detailsA
Read-only
Inspect

Retrieve full property details from Redfin listing page. Returns listing description, tax history, HOA fees, property tax amount, nearby schools with ratings, neighborhood safety metrics, walkability scores, and photo gallery/tour URLs. Use for due diligence before making offers or detailed investment analysis.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesRedfin property listing URL (e.g. 'https://www.redfin.com/WA/Seattle/123-Main-St-98101')
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows this is a safe external read. The description adds the list of returned data, which is useful but does not disclose behavioral nuances like rate limits, potential website access issues, or error handling. It does not contradict 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?

Two sentences, no wasted words. The first sentence states purpose and enumerates return contents; the second gives usage context. Every part earns its place.

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 single-parameter read tool with rich annotations, the description covers what it does, what it returns, and when to use it. No output schema exists, but the description explicitly lists the return fields, making it sufficiently complete.

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 for the single 'url' parameter, including an example. The description does not add additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema 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 clearly states the tool retrieves full property details from a Redfin listing page, and enumerates specific data returned. This distinguishes it from the sibling search_properties, which likely focuses on discovery rather than deep detail.

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?

The description explicitly says 'Use for due diligence before making offers or detailed investment analysis,' providing clear when-to-use context. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the purpose implies this is for when you already have a specific listing URL, differentiating it from search_properties.

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

search_propertiesA
Read-only
Inspect

Query Redfin real estate listings by location and filters for residential properties. Returns asking price, street address, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, property type, HOA status, and listing age. Use for home shopping, market analysis, investment research, or neighborhood comparison.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
locationYesProperty location by city, zip code, or full address (e.g. 'Seattle, WA', '98101', '1600 Pennsylvania Ave')
max_priceNoMaximum asking price filter in USD (e.g. 1000000)
min_priceNoMinimum asking price filter in USD (e.g. 300000)
property_typeNoProperty category to filter (e.g. 'house', 'condo', 'townhouse', 'multi-family', 'land')
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, covering the safety profile. The description adds behavioral context by listing exactly what fields are returned (asking price, address, bedrooms, etc.) and the nature of the query, going beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

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 a concise two-sentence structure that front-loads the action ('Query Redfin real estate listings') and follows with return fields and use cases. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy or filler.

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?

The tool has 4 well-documented parameters, no output schema, and annotations indicating read-only open-world behavior. The description covers the return fields and use cases, which is sufficient for a search tool. It does not mention pagination or sorting, but these are not critical given the context, so a small gap prevents a 5.

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%, with all four parameters documented with descriptions and examples. The description's phrase 'by location and filters' adds no new meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 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 clearly states the tool queries Redfin real estate listings by location and filters, with a specific verb and resource. It also lists returned fields, distinguishing it from the sibling get_property_details, which is about individual property details rather than search results.

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?

The description provides explicit use cases ('Use for home shopping, market analysis, investment research, or neighborhood comparison'), giving clear context on when to use the tool. However, it does not mention alternatives or when not to use it, so it lacks the explicit exclusion or alternative naming that would warrant a 5.

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