get_provider

Full detail for one provider: profile, rating, and the APIs it publishes. The heavy collections and common sections are omitted by default (their counts are still reported) — pass view=full for the whole document, or fields=["common"] for a section. Narrow for cheap reads: fields=["score"] returns just the rating. Relative artifact URLs are resolved to absolute, fetchable ones. Results carry next: the sub-resources that exist for this entity and the exact tool call that retrieves each, computed from this record. Pass include_next=false to omit it.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
slugYes
viewNosummary (default) returns lean discovery records + *_count for dropped sections; full returns the whole record (use get_api / get_provider for one entity).summary
fieldsNoReturn exactly these top-level keys (slug and name always included); overrides view.
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.
include_nextNoSet false to omit the `next` affordance block.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden — and it delivers. It discloses default section omission with counts still reported, view/fields switching behavior, relative URL resolution to absolute, and the `next` affordance block behavior and how to disable it. This is rich behavioral disclosure for a tool with zero annotation coverage.

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 main purpose and every clause carries information — default omission, full view, cheap reads, URL resolution, and next-block behavior all earn their place. It is dense and fairly long, but no sentence is filler; it only loses a point for packing many behavioral facts into a wall of prose rather than a tighter structure.

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 5-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers defaults, variants, narrowing paths, output affordances (next), and transformation behavior. It does not depict the actual profile/rating fields, but with no output schema declared that burden lands on the tool's response; the description covers what an agent needs to call it confidently.

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 80% (high), so the baseline is 3. The description adds concrete value beyond the schema with worked examples like fields=["score"] returns just the rating and fields=["common"] for a section, going beyond the schema's generic 'Return exactly these top-level keys'. That pushes it above baseline.

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 ('Full detail for one provider') with resource, scope, and content ('profile, rating, and the APIs it publishes'). The 'one provider' phrasing clearly separates it from sibling search tools like find_providers and from narrower detail tools like get_provider_rating and get_provider_artifacts.

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 clear context on parameter-driven usage ('Narrow for cheap reads', 'pass view=full for the whole document') that implies when each mode is appropriate. However, it never names sibling alternatives or states explicit exclusions (e.g., when to prefer get_provider_rating or get_api instead), so it stops short of the strongest guidance.

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

B3.1/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools are clearly separated by artifact type or resource (find_mcp vs find_openapi vs get_provider vs get_api), but the sheer volume creates some genuinely confusable clusters: apis_io_search vs find_apis vs find_artifacts, and insights_adoption vs insights_dimensions vs find_company_insights. Several readiness-related tools (what_can_i_fix, simulate_fixes, readiness_gates) also share a conceptual boundary, though their descriptions do help.

Naming Consistency3/5

The dominant patterns (find_*, get_*, cohort_*, compare_*) are consistent and predictable, but the set mixes in irregular names like apis_io_search, tag_group_tags, what_can_i_fix, whats_changed, and resolve. These deviations are readable but break the otherwise regular verb_noun convention.

Tool Count2/5

106 tools is far beyond the typical well-scoped server and will impose a heavy selection burden on agents. The server covers a genuinely broad domain (catalog search, ratings, cohorts, agent readiness, lists, exports, feedback), so the count is defensible in scope, but it is still too many to navigate efficiently.

Completeness5/5

The surface is remarkably complete: search and browse, single-entity detail, comparisons, cohort analytics, agent-readiness assessment, saved searches, list management, feedback/correction flows, and full dataset exports are all covered. There are no obvious dead ends, and even minor operations like re-running saved searches or simulating fixes are present.
