search_sources

Search 995 curated sources on the video games industry: press outlets, trade associations, datasets, analysts, podcasts, books, YouTube channels and communities across 26 markets. Every one was opened and read before it was described, and each result says what it lets you find out, who owns it and what it costs. This answers "where would I look for this?" — it is a directory of sources, not a source of facts, and nothing in it is ranked or scored.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
costNoRecorded on 592 of 995 rows — the press outlets and the individual people are not priced, so filtering on this excludes them rather than reporting them as not free.
groupNoBroad kind of source.
limitNoRows per page, default 20, maximum 50. A page is the next rows in file order, never the top ones — nothing here is ranked.
queryNoFree text, matched against the name, the description and the owner. All words must appear. Omit to browse a filter instead.
marketNoMarket code. US, JP, KR, UK, DE, IN, BR, FR, CN, MENA, IT, CA have full profiles behind them; SEA, Nordics, MX, ES, TR, NL, AU, PL, TW, EU, LATAM, Asia, BE only tag sources. Global means the source covers everything, and "Not market specific" means market is not its axis.
mediumNoWhat form it takes.
offsetNoRows to skip before the first one returned, for paging. Default 0. The note on each page says what to pass for the next.
languageNoThe language you would be reading it in.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and usefully discloses curation, the kind of information each result contains, and that nothing is ranked or scored. It does not discuss authentication, rate limits, or full pagination behavior, but those are partly covered by the schema and less critical for this read-only search tool.

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 front-loaded and each sentence establishes scope, curation quality, result content, or a boundary. It is slightly dense and restates the non-ranking idea, but it remains appropriately sized for a search tool.

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 eight-filter search tool with no output schema, the description gives enough purpose, corpus scope, result content, and non-ranking caveat to call it correctly. The main omission is sibling routing, while filter and paging details are well covered by the schema.

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 coverage is 100%, with all eight filters documented in detail, including enum meanings and paging behavior. The description adds little parameter-specific meaning beyond noting that results include cost and owner information and that ordering is not ranked, 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 opening clause names a specific verb (Search) and resource (995 curated sources), then narrows scope to the video games industry, source types, and 26 markets. It also draws a clear conceptual boundary as a directory of sources rather than a source of facts, which helps distinguish it from fact/trend tools, though it does not name siblings.

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?

It gives a clear use case in "where would I look for this?" and an exclusion in "not a source of facts." However, it never names alternatives such as get_source or search_techniques or explains when to choose them, so routing guidance is incomplete.

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