Things To Do API

One event in full

get_event
Read-onlyIdempotent

Everything known about one event by its id (from search_events): all its tags, venue, links and times.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context beyond them by enumerating the breadth of the returned record (tags, venue, links, times), signalling 'complete, unfiltered fetch' rather than a summary view.

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?

One sentence, zero padding, with the scope ('one event', 'in full') and the id source front-loaded. Every clause earns its place.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description usefully enumerates the returned fields, which is what an agent needs to know to call it correctly. It could say more about error behavior when an id is unknown, but for a single-parameter lookup it is close to complete.

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 0% and the schema itself is just a bare 'id' string, but the description supplies the provenance that makes the parameter usable — the id originates from search_events. That is meaningful guidance not present in the 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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Everything known about one event by its id') and scopes it to a full single-record fetch. The parenthetical '(from search_events)' distinguishes it from the sibling that produces the ids, so an agent can route between them without opening either schema.

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 phrase 'by its id (from search_events)' makes the intended workflow clear: obtain an id from search_events, then call this. It does not state when NOT to use it or name alternatives for other lookups, so it falls short of full exclusion guidance.

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