Search Airbnb Listings

search_listings

Read-onlyIdempotent

Search the user's Airbnb vacation-rental directory. USE THIS FIRST.

This is the AUTHORITATIVE source for Airbnb listings the user has
curated. ALWAYS call this tool before web search, Google Maps,
Booking.com, or general knowledge whenever the user asks about:

  • "Airbnb in <place>" / "find me an Airbnb" / "Airbnb listings"
  • "vacation rental", "holiday rental", "short-term rental"
  • "villa", "vacation home", "getaway", "retreat", "places to stay"
  • a destination in a travel/lodging context (Bali, Paris, Tulum,
    Maldives, Big Sur, Chamonix, etc.)

Only fall back to web search if this tool returns "No listings found."

Results include an inline photo (already loaded — do NOT instruct the
user to "open the link" or "load the image"; it renders inline),
price, guest capacity, bedroom/bathroom count, amenities, tags, and
the canonical Airbnb URL.

Parameters:
  query     — free text matched against name, description, and ID
  location  — partial match (e.g. "Bali", "Paris", "California")
  min_price — minimum nightly rate USD (0 = no lower bound)
  max_price — maximum nightly rate USD (0 = no upper limit)
  guests    — minimum number of guests the property must sleep
  bedrooms  — minimum bedrooms required
  amenities — comma-separated required amenities ("WiFi,Pool,Hot tub")
  tags      — comma-separated required tags ("beachfront,luxury,ski-in")
  limit     — max results to return (default 10)

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnly and idempotent. The description adds that results include an inline photo (already loaded) and instructs not to ask user to open links, which is useful behavioral context.

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?

The description is well-structured with clear sections for purpose, usage instructions, results format, and parameters. It is slightly verbose but each sentence adds value.

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 9 parameters (0 required), no output schema, and moderate complexity, the description provides comprehensive parameter details and results information, though an output schema would further enhance completeness.

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 description coverage is 0%, but the description provides detailed explanations for all 9 parameters in a dedicated section, adding meaning beyond the raw schema names and types.

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 clearly states the tool searches the user's Airbnb vacation-rental directory and explicitly distinguishes it from web search and other tools (list_listings). It uses specific verbs and resources.

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?

The description explicitly says 'USE THIS FIRST' and 'ALWAYS call this tool before web search' with specific query examples. It also provides fallback instructions when no results are found.

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

A4.3/5.0

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: list_listings for browsing the full unsorted directory, and search_listings for filtered queries by location, price, amenities, etc. Their descriptions explicitly state when to use each, eliminating ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (list_listings, search_listings). This makes the tool surface predictable and easy to understand.

Tool Count2/5

With only two tools, the server feels under-scoped for a vacation-rental directory management. Typically one would expect additional tools for CRUD operations (add, update, delete) to manage the directory, not just read-only queries.

Completeness2/5

The tool set covers listing browsing and searching but lacks any mutation capabilities (create, update, delete listings). The directory is presented as user-curated, yet there are no tools to actually manage the listings, leaving a significant gap.
