find_arazzo

Read-only

Arazzo workflows across the catalog. Multi-step API workflows chaining operations. Filter by q / tags / providers; include=["content"] inlines bodies. Use find_artifacts for cross-type search.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qNoFree text over name + description.
pageNo
sortNoOrder: relevance (catalog order), provider, or name.
tagsNoTag slugs. On PROVIDERS this is identity — what the company says it does, from its own apis.yml. A resource or operation term (webhook, saml, order, oai-pmh) will correctly match no provider; use find_apis?tags= for those, or find_providers?api_tags= to reach companies whose APIs merely touch it.
limitNo
matchNoany
contextNoOptional: why you are asking. One sentence — the task you are trying to complete, or what you expect to get back. Never included in the answer and never used to rank; it is read only when a result turns out to be wrong, which is when knowing the intent is what makes the report actionable.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

ReadOnlyHint already covers the safety profile, and the description adds one useful behavioral trait: include=['content'] inlines bodies. But it says nothing about pagination, default response shape, or empty-result behavior, so transparency is adequate rather than rich.

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?

Four concise sentences lead with the object type and scope, then filters/inclusion behavior, then the sibling alternative. No word is wasted and the most decision-relevant information is front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a nine-parameter tool with no output schema, this is serviceable: core filters and the main alternative are present, and defaults/enums cover page/limit/sort/match in the schema. But the missing provider input semantics, pagination behavior, and return format leave clear gaps an agent may have to infer.

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 only 44%, so the description must add meaning. It does identify q/tags/providers as the primary filters and explains that include inlines bodies, which goes beyond the schema. However, provider value format and the interaction of match/filters are still left implicit, so it only partially compensates.

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?

Defines the resource precisely as Arazzo workflows across the catalog and adds the distinguishing trait 'multi-step API workflows chaining operations.' The closing pointer to find_artifacts further separates it from a sibling, so there is no ambiguity about what this tool returns.

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?

Gives an explicit conditional alternative: 'Use find_artifacts for cross-type search.' This tells an agent when not to reach for this tool and where to go instead, which is exactly the routing guidance needed.

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