Frequently asked questions

get_faq
Read-onlyIdempotent

Return the FAQ entries from the public /faq page in the requested locale (31 locales; unknown locale falls back to en and the response says which locale was served). Useful for grounding answers to common product questions.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, closed-world and non-destructive, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral detail: 31 supported locales, silent fallback to en for unknown locales, and that the response discloses which locale was actually served.

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, front-loaded with the returned resource and scope, then the caveat, then the use case. No filler or restatement of the title.

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 a single-optional-parameter read tool with annotations covering safety, the description supplies what the schema and annotations cannot: locale breadth and fallback behavior. Without an output schema, a brief note on the shape of returned entries would close the last gap.

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?

The schema has zero description coverage for 'locale', so the description carries the full burden and does it well: it explains the locale's purpose, the size of the supported set (31), and the fallback semantics for unknown values. It does not list the actual locale codes, which is the main remaining gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Return the FAQ entries from the public /faq page'), which is unambiguous. Sibling tools cover carts, orders, menus and reservations, so no sibling overlaps this resource; explicit differentiation is therefore unnecessary, though the description does not name any alternative.

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?

'Useful for grounding answers to common product questions' gives a clear reason to call it rather than draft an answer from memory. There are no exclusions or named alternatives, so it stops short of the top score.

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