B2B Listgen Estimate Mcp Tool

b2b_listgen_estimate
Read-onlyIdempotent
Estimate business contact audience sizes with firmographic and role-based targeting using Versium's B2B Persona Audience Builder (B2B Listgen) API.

**Tips for Best Results:**
- Start with a single output type and add filters incrementally
- Combine geography with company size or industry filters for precise targeting
- Use title_seniority for leadership focus, or department for functional targeting
- Provide SIC codes when you need strict industry alignment
- To check values for fields with large, high-cardinality option sets, call the B2B Persona Listgen Options tool
- Toggle `cfg_b2cloc` to switch between business-location and home-location targeting

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
d_sicNoLegacy 4-digit SIC codes
d_zipNoU.S. ZIP codes (5-digit codes)
outputNoCampaign type specification. Must include exactly one: "email" or "oa". Email should almost always be used; OA can ONLY be used for audience targeting in ad platforms and will return hashed data
d_naicsNoRaw 2- to 6-digit NAICS codes. Use the options tool to retrieve valid values
d_stateNoU.S. states (2-letter codes)
rd_roleNoJob roles. Use the options tool to retrieve valid values
d_countyNoU.S. counties (full county names)
cfg_b2clocNoWhether location filters apply to business location (0) or employee home location (1)
max_recordsNoCap the number of records returned by the eventual list build
d_city_stateNoU.S. City and state combinations, e.g. "Austin, TX"
d_salesvolumeNoCompany revenue range, in the format "min-max" (e.g. "100000-1000000" for $100K to $1M)
rd_departmentNoJob departments. Use the options tool to retrieve valid values
d_numemployeesNoCompany size range, in the format "min-max" (e.g. "100-50000")
rd_title_seniorityNoTitle seniority levels

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, and the description adds valuable context by framing the operation as an estimate of audience sizes rather than a list build. It also discloses the cfg_b2cloc behavior for switching between business-location and home-location targeting, which is useful beyond the schema.

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 front-loaded with a clear purpose sentence and then organized into concise, scannable bullet tips. Each tip earns its place by providing actionable guidance for a complex 14-parameter tool, with no redundant filler.

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?

Given the tool's complexity, the description is complete: it states the core purpose, offers filter selection strategies, points to the options tool for valid values, and clarifies location targeting behavior. The output schema and annotations cover return values and safety, so the description does not need to repeat those.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds meaningful parameter guidance: it explains when to use title_seniority vs department, when to provide SIC codes, and how to interpret cfg_b2cloc. These tips go beyond the schema definitions by linking parameters to targeting strategies.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Estimate business contact audience sizes with firmographic and role-based targeting using Versium's B2B Persona Audience Builder (B2B Listgen) API.' This clearly distinguishes the tool from siblings like b2c_listgen_estimate (B2C) and b2b_listgen_options (options lookup).

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 'Tips for Best Results' section provides concrete guidance on when to use specific filters, such as using title_seniority for leadership focus, department for functional targeting, and SIC codes for strict industry alignment. It also explicitly directs users to call the B2B Persona Listgen Options tool for high-cardinality field values, though it does not explicitly contrast with the B2C sibling tool.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: list generation (B2B vs B2C), enrichment (contact, demographic, firmographic, C2B, IP-to-domain), project/list management, job lifecycle, and validation. No two tools appear to do the same thing, so an agent can reliably select the correct one.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow the verb_noun pattern consistently, using verbs like list, show, create, preview, search, validate, append, and estimate. Even the segmented append tools (c2b_append, contact_append, demographic_append, firmographic_append, ip_to_domain_append) follow the same pattern with clear noun modifiers. No mixed conventions or vague verbs.

Tool Count4/5

With 19 tools, this is on the higher side but still well-scoped for a data enrichment and list-building platform. The count covers distinct functional areas (audience estimation, enrichment, job/project management, list inspection, documentation) without unnecessary bloat. It feels slightly heavy but each tool earns its place.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers the core workflows: estimating audiences, creating and monitoring jobs, managing projects and lists, and enriching records with various data types. Minor gaps exist, such as no explicit delete/update operations for projects or lists, and no direct file download for list contents (though preview_list and show_list provide partial coverage). These are non-blocking gaps that agents can work around.
