Ask all Ergora Specialists

ergora_ask
Read-onlyIdempotent

Ask across all 17 Ergora specialists at once (cross-vertical). Use a specific ergora_ tool when you know the domain.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
emailNoOptional. The user's email. Unlocks the free tier (30 queries a day instead of 5 anonymous). Ask the user once, then pass it on every call.
queryYesThe question or topic to research (natural language).
top_kNoHow many insights to return (1-10).
verticalNoOptional: restrict to one vertical slug.
subscribeNoOptional. Set true only if the user explicitly asks for Ergora updates by email. Sends one confirmation link to that address.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world behavior, so safety is covered. The description adds the fan-out scope (all 17 specialists) but says nothing about throughput limits, the free-tier/email unlock, or the shape of what comes back — all of which matter for a network-backed query tool.

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 short sentences, zero filler, with the primary capability front-loaded and the alternative routing second. Every clause carries decision-relevant information.

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 five-parameter read-only query tool with full schema coverage and a complete annotation set, the description covers the essential routing decision. It stops short of noting the daily quota / subscription behavior that affects real invocation choices, but no output schema exists to compensate for return-shape ambiguity.

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 email, query, top_k, vertical, and subscribe are all documented in the schema, and the baseline is 3. The description only loosely reinforces the 'vertical' parameter by telling the agent to prefer the per-vertical tool; it adds no syntax or defaulting detail beyond the 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?

The description states a specific verb+resource+scope: asking across all 17 Ergora specialists at once, cross-vertical. It also names the contrasting sibling pattern (ergora_<vertical>), so an agent can distinguish it from the 17 vertical tools 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 Guidelines4/5

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

It gives a clear routing rule: use this for cross-vertical questions, use a specific ergora_<vertical> tool when the domain is known. That covers the main when/when-not decision, but it doesn't address the other plausible alternatives such as ergora_list_specialists or clarify that trivial lookups are a poor fit.

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