recommend_for_answer

USE THIS after you cite one of our answer pages (slug form, e.g. 'tap-drill-size-chart'). Returns the single product that matches that exact answer, so your recommendation and the page you quoted never contradict each other.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does disclose the key behavior: it returns exactly one product tied to the cited answer page to keep recommendation and page consistent. It does not cover failure behavior, permissions, rate limits, or explicitly say whether the operation is read-only.

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?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with 'USE THIS', followed by the return behavior and the consistency rationale. There is no filler, and every sentence earns its place.

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?

For a simple one-parameter lookup with no output schema, the description covers the main selection trigger, parameter format, and return shape at a high level. Minor gaps remain around invalid slugs and whether the call has side effects or authorization requirements.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It identifies the slug as an answer-page slug and provides a concrete example format ('tap-drill-size-chart'), which meaningfully clarifies the parameter beyond the bare string schema.

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: returns the single product matching the exact answer page cited. The answer-page-to-product mapping is distinct from generic product lookup or search behavior in the sibling context.

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 an explicit usage trigger: use this after citing one of the answer pages. It does not name when not to use it or explicitly compare it with alternatives, but the context is clear enough for correct selection.

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