Scored across 3 tools
The three tools map cleanly onto distinct intents: search_schools for discovery, get_school_details for a single-DBN profile read, and compare_schools for 2-4 school side-by-side analysis. Descriptions explicitly delimit scope (e.g. search is 'discovery, not admissions eligibility'), leaving little chance of misselection.
All three follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (search_schools, get_school_details, compare_schools) in snake_case with the 'school(s)' domain noun. No mixed conventions or vague verbs.
Three tools is a small but well-scoped set for a read-only school-ratings data surface, with each tool earning a distinct role. It sits at the low end though, leaving little room for ancillary lookups without overloading search.
Discovery, single-profile retrieval, and multi-school comparison cover the core read lifecycle for school ratings, including history, surveys, and Regents data with null handling. Minor gaps exist for auxiliary enumeration (e.g. listing districts/boroughs or programs as standalone reference data), but search filters appear to compensate.
Available Tools
3 toolscompare_schoolsARead-onlyInspect
Compare two to four distinct canonical school DBNs on identically defined available metrics, programs, and separate 2026 survey instruments. Includes demographics, enrollment history and same-year, same-exam Regents comparisons with reporting years and source links. Missing values remain null and early-childhood providers are not assigned K–12 scores.
Inputs: dbns (required).
get_school_detailsARead-onlyInspect
Read one canonical school profile by DBN. Separates proprietary ratings, official academic metrics, family/student/teacher surveys, and center-wide early-childhood feedback. Includes dated demographics, enrollment and demographic history, and Regents exam results/history through the latest available reporting year. Returns explicit nulls, source links, reporting years, admissions caveats, and a canonical profile URL; never claims current seats or odds.
Inputs: dbn (required).
search_schoolsARead-onlyInspect
Find canonical NYC school records by name/identifier, grade, borough, district, known school type, and recorded program flags. Unverified 2-K records are excluded from positive 2-K filters. Returns at most 20 results per page with match reasons, source years, and profile links. This is discovery, not admissions eligibility or a placement recommendation. Missing scores are not zero.
Inputs: grade, limit, query, has_2k, +10 more.
