Get travel eSIM links for a destination

get_esim_links
Read-onlyIdempotent

Return travel eSIM store links (Airalo, covering 200+ countries, plus Yesim, Saily and Drimsim) together with up to four VoyageHacks eSIM guides for that destination covering real per-GB prices, coverage, setup steps and which phones support eSIM. Useful when a user asks about mobile data abroad, SIM cards, roaming charges, staying online on a trip or tethering a laptop. It returns store pages: no live plan prices, no coverage check for a specific handset, and no purchase or activation. Affiliate links: VoyageHacks may earn a commission at no additional cost to the traveler, which should be disclosed when the links are presented.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnly/idempotent/openWorld/non-destructive, so the bar is lower, yet the description still adds real behavioral context: it returns store pages only, imposes an up-to-four-guides limit, and mandates disclosing the affiliate commission. It does not describe response shape or any rate/caching behavior.

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?

Front-loads what is returned before the use cases and limitations, and each sentence carries information. It is slightly dense and could be trimmed, but nothing is wasted.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be spelled out, and the description still covers scope, exclusions, guide limit, and the affiliate-disclosure obligation. An agent has everything needed to call and present results correctly.

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%, so lang and destination are fully documented in the schema (including the default of "en"). The description adds no extra meaning about destination matching (e.g. country vs. region handling) or language fallback, so the baseline 3 applies.

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+resource (return travel eSIM store links plus VoyageHacks guides for a destination) and names the actual providers. It is clearly distinguishable from sibling tools like get_travel_vpn_links or get_flight_links by naming the eSIM domain explicitly.

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?

Gives concrete triggering scenarios (mobile data abroad, SIM cards, roaming charges, staying online, tethering a laptop) and negative scope (no live prices, no handset coverage check, no purchase/activation). It does not name a sibling alternative, so it stops short of a 5.

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