Procurement notices

procurement_notices

Read-only

Public procurement notices filtered by buyer, Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV), value, deadline or open status. Notice types distinguish calls for tender from awards. Estimates may be incomplete or repeated; estimates and award ceilings are not spend or payments. Text uses contains matching. Global sorting supports issued date, deadline or value, with missing values last. Keep sort and direction unchanged across cursor pages. Total counts all matches; row_count counts the returned page. Legal entities and authorities only. Use company_procurement for a company's awards, or open_calls for grants. Do not look up natural persons.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only cover the safety profile (readOnly, non-destructive, closed-world); the description adds substantial semantics the annotations cannot: estimates may be incomplete or repeated, estimates/award ceilings are not spend, missing sort values go last, sort and direction must stay stable across cursor pages, and total vs row_count count different things. These are exactly the traps an agent would otherwise fall into.

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-loaded with the resource and filter axes, then caveats, then routing to alternatives — good ordering with almost no filler. The telegraphic, fragment-heavy style ("Text uses contains matching.") is efficient but slightly harder to parse than full clauses.

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?

For a 13-parameter filter tool with an output schema, it covers scope limits, data-quality caveats, sorting/pagination invariants, and pagination counting semantics. Nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly is missing, and return shapes are correctly left to the output schema.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds genuine cross-parameter guidance the schema does not: contains matching for text, missing-values-last ordering, and the requirement to hold sort/dir fixed while paging the cursor. It stops short of explaining include_null_value or deadline_within_days interactions, which keeps it below a 5.

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?

Opens with a specific resource (public procurement notices) and enumerates the filter axes (buyer, CPV, value, deadline, open status), plus clarifies that notice types span calls for tender and awards. It actively distinguishes itself from siblings by naming company_procurement and open_calls, so an agent can route without opening a schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly routes: company_procurement for a company's awards, open_calls for grants, and a hard exclusion ("Do not look up natural persons") plus a scope boundary ("Legal entities and authorities only"). This is when-to-use, when-not-to-use, and named alternatives in a compact form.

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