Spark - AI Assets Marketplace

Search assets

search_assets
Read-onlyIdempotent

Search the Spark AI assets marketplace for agents, skills, prompts, prompt chains, MCP connectors and bundles.

For when a text query is available but the slug is not known; get_asset describes a known slug. Returns numbered summaries with type, downloads, outcomes, price, tags and URL, or a no-results message. No login required; no acquisition is made. Unmatched nonempty queries may be recorded as unmet catalog needs. A nonempty job ranks text matches by task fit, even with a non-combo sort.

For example, search_assets(query='rate limiting', job='add a rate limiter', limit=5).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
jobNoOptional task, e.g. 'review Python code'; a nonempty value enables job-based ranking regardless of sort.
sortNocombo (default): quality, ratings and outcomes; popular: downloads; newest: creation date; rating: average rating. Invalid values fall back to combo; job enables ranking for any sort.combo
typeNoOptional asset type: agent, skill, prompt, prompt_chain, mcp_connector or bundle; omitted means all types.
limitNoMaximum results; clamped to 1-50, default 10.
queryYesText matched against titles and descriptions, e.g. 'rate limiting'; empty text browses the catalog.
domainNoOptional domain slug from list_categories, e.g. 'development'; omitted means all domains.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent/closed-world, and the description adds genuinely new behavior: what the response contains (numbered summaries with type, downloads, outcomes, price, tags, URL), the no-results message, and the side effect that unmatched nonempty queries may be recorded as unmet catalog needs.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the purpose, then when-to-use, then return shape, then an example — every sentence carries information. Slightly long at four paragraphs for a search tool, but no filler.

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?

With an output schema present, the definition need not explain return values, yet it still summarizes them alongside the usage rule, side effects, and an example invocation. Nothing needed to call this six-parameter tool correctly is missing.

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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description's notes on job-based ranking ('a nonempty job ranks text matches by task fit, even with a non-combo sort') largely restate the job and sort schema descriptions, and the example adds no syntax beyond what the schema already documents.

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 ('Search') and resource (the Spark AI assets marketplace), enumerates the asset types covered, and explicitly contrasts with get_asset ('get_asset describes a known slug'), so the agent can separate it from its nearest sibling without opening a schema.

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?

Gives an explicit selection rule: use this when a text query is available but the slug is not known, and use get_asset for a known slug. It also states prerequisites (no login required) and that no acquisition occurs, which removes ambiguity about commitment.

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