find_examples

Read-only

Example payloads across the catalog. Real request/response examples. 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 / provider / name, or key_count (largest first).
tagsNoTag slugs, e.g. ["payments"]. On providers: what the company does (see api_tags).
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.

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, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuine behavioral detail — that include=["content"] inlines artifact bodies instead of returning only URLs — but says nothing about pagination behavior or result shape. With annotations carrying the safety load, this is a moderate addition.

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?

Three short, front-loaded sentences with no filler. The only minor waste is the second sentence ('Real request/response examples'), which largely restates the first, but overall it is tight and scannable.

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 9-parameter read-only search tool with no output schema, the description covers the resource, the filter levers, the include behavior, and the sibling alternative. Pagination and sort semantics live in the schema, which is fully documented, so the description is nearly complete, though it could say more about when to prefer it over other find_* siblings.

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 all nine parameters (q, tags, providers, match, include, sort, page, limit, context) are already documented in the schema. The description repeats the filter names and the include behavior without adding syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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 — example payloads (real request/response examples) across the catalog — and explicitly distinguishes itself from find_artifacts for cross-type search. The retrieval verb is only implied by the tool name rather than stated, which keeps it just short of a 5.

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 an explicit alternative ('Use find_artifacts for cross-type search'), which routes the agent for one condition, and states the filtering levers (q / tags / providers) plus the include flag. It lacks broader when/when-not guidance and does not say what distinguishes this from other find_* tools beyond find_artifacts.

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