Search prop-firm challenges

propfirms_search_challenges
Read-only

Search funded-account challenges across all visible prop firms. Filter by challenge rules (account size, fee, steps, profit split, drawdown mode, news/copy/auto trading, weekend holding, …) and by parent-firm properties. Pass propfirmId to list one firm's challenges, or challengeId to fetch specific ones. include=['offers'] returns a deduplicated top-level offers list, with each challenge referencing its applicable offers via offerIds (firm-wide offers included). Uncaptured (null) rule fields are omitted from results and never match filters. This returns each challenge's listed rules and terms, not outcomes: to simulate a challenge found here pass its ids to propfirms_simulate or propfirms_pass_rates, and to screen one strategy across many challenges at once use propfirms_validate_strategy.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint and openWorldHint annotations, the description discloses important behaviors: 'Uncaptured (null) rule fields are omitted from results and never match filters' and 'This returns each challenge's listed rules and terms, not outcomes.' It also explains the include offers behavior (deduplicated top-level offers list, offerIds referencing applicable offers) and notes that firm-wide offers are included, adding significant transparency about what the tool does and does not do.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is comprehensive yet well-structured: it front-loads the core purpose, then lists the filtering capabilities, usage patterns, behavioral nuances, and follow-up tools. Each sentence serves a distinct purpose—no filler or redundancy—and the flow from 'what' to 'how' to 'what next' is logical and efficient for an agent to parse.

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 tool's high complexity (36 parameters, no output schema), the description is highly complete. It covers the search scope, filtering dimensions, two primary usage modes (propfirmId vs. challengeId), the include offers feature, null-field handling, and what the tool does NOT return (outcomes), while pointing to related tools for simulation and validation. An agent has everything needed to invoke it correctly without additional inference.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3/all parameters are already documented. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by explaining the behavior of propfirmId and challengeId (list one firm vs. fetch specific ones) and elaborating on the include parameter's behavior (deduplicated top-level offers list, offerIds). This extra context justifies a slight elevation above the baseline, though the schema remains the primary source of parameter detail.

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 opens with a specific verb ('Search') and resource ('funded-account challenges') plus scope ('across all visible prop firms'), and immediately clarifies the difference between listing one firm's challenges via propfirmId and fetching specific ones via challengeId. It also explicitly contrasts with related tools by saying 'to simulate a challenge found here pass its ids to propfirms_simulate or propfirms_pass_rates', distinguishing this search tool from its simulation and validation siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description gives clear, actionable usage guidance: 'Pass propfirmId to list one firm's challenges, or challengeId to fetch specific ones.' It also explains the include=['offers'] behavior and explicitly routes the agent to sibling tools for simulation or strategy screening, leaving no ambiguity about when to use this tool versus alternatives.

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