pinterest_search

Keyword pin search — offset cursor, search window 40, flat 2 credits. Costs 2 credits. Empty results and failures are never charged. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit (default always fresh).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qYesKeywords or search query (min 2 characters).
cacheNoSet true to serve from the 24h response cache (0 credits on hit). Default false — always fetch fresh.
limitNoMax items to return (default 25, max 200). Flat 2 credits per call.
cursorNoPagination cursor. Leave empty for the first page; then pass the nextCursor value returned in the previous response (numeric offset, e.g. 25). A null nextCursor means the end of the search window (max 40).

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden well: it discloses the flat 2-credit cost, that empty results and failures are free, the 24h cache behavior, and the 40-item search window. It does not cover auth, rate limits, or return structure, but the billing and caching details are substantive.

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?

The description is short and front-loaded, immediately stating the core search purpose and key constraints. Minor redundancy appears in repeating the 2-credit cost, but the overall structure remains efficient.

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 search tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the key operational facts: cost, cache behavior, cursor pagination, and search window. The schema handles parameter details, so little critical context is missing.

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 100%, so the schema already documents q, cache, limit, and cursor in detail. The description adds cost and cache context but does not add meaningfully new parameter syntax beyond what is already in the schema.

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 verb and resource: 'Keyword pin search'. It is clearly a search tool rather than a user, board, or pin-detail tool, though it does not explicitly name the sibling alternatives it contrasts with.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description implies that this tool is for keyword searches, but it does not say when to use it instead of siblings such as pinterest_user_pins or pinterest_board. There are no exclusions or alternative-selection guidance.

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