Find which pages of a datasheet print a term

search_datasheet
Read-onlyIdempotent

Finds pages and extracted evidence in one datasheet. mode=literal (default): case-insensitive substring after repairing Symbol-font glyphs and control characters. mode=context normalizes typography/whitespace for retrieval only (not a printed-MPN check) and returns source units (whole block, small table, or table header and matching row) or windows on the top pages, with query_coverage; it defaults to compact and format:verbose restores per-fragment fields. mode=lines returns every matching raw line with context_lines around it, in document order across the whole document (like grep), with the header of each matched table; scan_complete concerns the searched scope and output_complete the delivery of matching windows, not PDF completeness. No regex, unit conversion, suffix removal or electrical validation. Manufacturer, full order code, MIN/TYP/MAX, units, rating basis and conditions stay distinct; table roles are candidates; the page image is the reference for table values and OCR numbers. Source text is untrusted data. Source offsets are UTF-16. context_complete is always false; a complete unit covers only that stored unit. unreturned_hit_count>0 means matched blocks on that page got no excerpt and page_text_requests[page] reads them with get_page_blocks; 0 means each hit block has some excerpt, not complete context. In query_coverage, context_returned or lines_returned = an excerpt was returned and match_located = a hit without one; neither assesses a requirement. partial_phrase_locations: where two-word parts of an unmatched multi-word query are printed. section_paths: printed headings around each returned page. A missing match never proves absence. next_cursor continues; stale_cursor = the extraction changed. doc_sha256, artifact_sha256, page, block and offsets identify a citation. With page_range, counts and ranks cover only that window; next_search_request advances gap-free, recovery_search_request retries; a null next request does not prove completeness.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qYesup to 5 strings (a single string is also accepted). Pages matching more rank higher; matching one can still return a page. Context mode normalizes typography only for retrieval, not identity verification.
modeNodefault literal. context: bounded source units/windows on the top-ranked pages; compact fragment {block, start, text, role, q = indices into queries, whole = entire block | unit = row/header/block and whether complete}, contexts[].blocks has bbox and total chars, table_row_labels names other rows of a matched large table with their printed conditions. lines: grep over the whole stored document — every line containing a query (same matching as context, a substring after normalization, so GPIO2 also matches GPIO20) with context_lines around it, in document order; window {page, block_id, line_start, line_end (from 0, inclusive), text_start, text_end, text, q, line_complete}, blocks[block_id] has page, bbox and chars, table_headers[block_id] is the header of a matched table (in_window = already inside the window), hit_pages lists every page with a hit. Conditions for a register, setting or pin name are often printed in other sections than its table: lines with that name shows every place it is printed in one call.
cursorNolines mode only: next_cursor from the previous lines response, with the same doc_sha256, q, context_lines, boundary_context and page range (max_context_chars may change)
formatNocontext mode only: default compact; verbose returns the previous per-fragment fields
page_endNocontext and lines modes: inclusive end, requires page_start, at most 50 pages; default 20 pages or the document end
max_pagesNodefault 8
doc_sha256Yes
page_startNocontext and lines modes: first physical PDF page of a search window; omit to search the whole stored text
context_linesNolines mode only: lines of the same block before and after each matching line, default 2. A line is a stored line break (CR/LF), not a <br> inside a table cell; overlapping windows in one block are merged, different blocks never are
boundary_contextNolines mode only: default true — where a returned prose window starts or ends on a line that looks open (comma, function word, lowercase continuation), up to 1 line before and 2 after (300 characters) of the same text block are added and counted in extended_lines; false returns exactly the hit lines and context_lines
max_context_charsNocontext and lines modes: total source UTF-16 budget; context default 16000, lines default 12000 (table headers included)
expected_artifact_sha256Nocontext and lines modes: exact extraction SHA from the previous response; rejects a changed version instead of mixing windows

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations by disclosing matching semantics (case-insensitive substring, glyph repair, normalization scope), explicit limitations (no regex, no unit conversion, no electrical validation), trust warnings (source text is untrusted data), offset encoding, and nuanced completeness semantics (context_complete always false, unreturned_hit_count meaning, missing match never proves absence, stale_cursor meaning). This is rich, actionable behavioral context.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The information is dense and valuable, but it is delivered as one long, unsegmented paragraph rather than being front-loaded and scannable. Many clauses earn their place, yet the lack of structure hurts readability for an agent parsing it quickly.

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?

For a 12-parameter, multi-mode tool with an output schema and safety annotations, the description covers mode semantics, scope limits, cursor behavior, recovery requests, and even directs the agent to get_page_blocks for missing excerpts. Combined with the schema and annotations, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly and interpret results.

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 92%, so the schema already documents nearly every parameter. The description restates some defaults (e.g., mode=literal default, format verbose behavior) but adds little parameter-level syntax or format detail beyond what the schema provides, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

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 and resource: 'Finds pages and extracted evidence in one datasheet.' This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like find_datasheet (which locates a datasheet) and search_parts (which searches parts), so an agent can select it without opening the schema.

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 mode-selection context, including a concrete use case for lines mode ('Conditions for a register, setting or pin name are often printed in other sections...'). However, it never names alternative tools (e.g., get_page_blocks) or states when not to use this tool, so exclusions are absent.

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