Find alternative sets

find_alternatives
Read-only

Find curated related sets, optionally cheaper by delivered price or with fewer pieces, and optionally within a delivered-price budget. Candidate coverage is bounded; fewer pieces does not establish physical dimensions.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare the operation read-only, open-world, and non-destructive. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond that: candidate coverage is bounded, and fewer pieces does not establish physical dimensions, which warns the agent against a likely misinterpretation.

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 two concise sentences, front-loading the core purpose before adding two relevant constraints. There is no filler or redundant wording.

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?

With an output schema covering return values and annotations covering safety, the description provides the essential purpose and key caveats. It still omits sibling routing and full parameter details, but it is largely complete for a read-only discovery tool.

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 only 33%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaning for preference and max_price by explaining cheaper delivered-price and budget semantics, but it does not clarify set_id, limit, or the default 'similar' preference, leaving several parameters under-explained.

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: 'Find curated related sets,' with optional scoping by delivered-price preference, piece count, or budget. It is clear what the tool does, but it does not distinguish itself from sibling tools such as compare_sets or search_sets.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied by the mention of finding related sets with cheaper, fewer-piece, or budget constraints. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over compare_sets or search_sets, nor any stated exclusions.

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