Phone number intelligence: valid, where, which network, what type

hubvibe_phone_parse
Read-onlyIdempotent

Phone number validation and lookup: valid or not, country and area, the carrier the range was issued to, line type (mobile, landline, toll-free, VoIP, premium), time zones and E.164, international and national formats, from Google's libphonenumber numbering plans. Nothing is dialled and the owner is never looked up. Input: number; optional region for a national-format number. $0.10 per call. Returns: input{}, valid, possible, e164, international, national, country_code, region, country, location, carrier, line_type, time_zones[], metadata_version, notes[], checked_at.

  2. Added

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Even though annotations already mark it read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive, the description adds meaningful context: there is no dialling, no owner lookup, the source is Google's libphonenumber numbering plans, and there is a $0.10 per-call cost. Those are important operational traits an agent should know before invocation.

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 front-loaded and dense with useful information. The full return-field list is somewhat redundant with the output schema, but it still helps an agent scan expected results and does not introduce fluff.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the full input schema, annotations, and output schema, the description is complete enough to call correctly. It adds cost, source, side-effect exclusions, and expected result categories without needing to explain schema details.

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 three parameters thoroughly. The description only restates 'number' and 'region' and omits 'language,' which is acceptable given the schema coverage but adds little beyond it.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: phone number validation and lookup. It enumerates concrete outputs (carrier, line type, time zones, E.164) and explicitly distinguishes the tool from owner/identity lookup by saying 'the owner is never looked up.'

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 clearly establishes the use case and gives a useful exclusion: nothing is dialled and the owner is never looked up, which steers agents away from identity or contact-screening tools. It stops short of naming a specific sibling alternative, so it is clear but not fully routing-level guidance.

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