find_asyncapis

Read-only

AsyncAPI (event-driven) specifications across the catalog. Event/streaming APIs. Filter by q / tags / providers; include=["content"] inlines bodies. Use find_artifacts for cross-type search.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qNoFree text over name + description, e.g. "sms".
pageNoPage number, 1-based (default 1).
sortNoOrder: relevance (catalog order), provider, or name.

limitNoResults per page, 1-100 (default 25).
matchNoHow `tags` combine: any (default) or all.any
contextNoOptional: one sentence on why you are asking. Never used to rank; read only if a result is wrong.
includeNoPass ["content"] to inline each artifact's body instead of just its URL.
versionNoAsyncAPI spec version — the `asyncapi:` declaration, e.g. 2.6.0 or 3.0.0.
providersNoProvider slugs, e.g. ["stripe"].
info_versionNoThe document's OWN version from info.version, set by whoever wrote the spec. Absent on 70% of them.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds the include=["content"] inlining behavior, which is useful, but discloses nothing about pagination limits beyond the schema or rate/result characteristics.

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?

Two short, front-loaded sentences with essentially zero waste. The fragmentary style is efficient but slightly telegraphic rather than polished.

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 read-only catalog search with fully documented params and no output schema, the definition covers the essentials and names a sibling alternative. Minor gaps remain around result/return expectations.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all 11 parameters in detail. The description only echoes q/tags/providers and include without adding syntax or format meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description states a specific resource — AsyncAPI event-driven specifications — and clarifies scope as 'across the catalog,' with event/streaming APIs noted. It is clear but relies partly on noun fragments rather than a full verb+resource sentence, and sibling differentiation is only handled via the final sentence.

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?

It gives filter guidance (q / tags / providers) and explicitly routes cross-type searching to find_artifacts, which is a real alternative among the many find_* siblings. It stops short of stating when NOT to use it or listing multiple alternatives.

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