Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {},
    "name": "search_listings"
  }
}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qNoSearch text, with at least one letter or digit. Matches name, categories, attributes, description and place. Typos fall back to close matches.
cityNoCity slug, from /places.
sortNo`relevance` needs `q` and is the default with it. `name` is the default without `q`. `recent` is newest first.
limitNoItems per page.
cursorNo`page.nextCursor` from the previous response. Opaque. Send the same filters and `limit`.
regionNoRegion slug, from /places.
countryNoISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, any case. A country the directory does not cover, as listed in /places, gives 400.
categoryNoCategory slug, from /categories. A parent slug also matches its children.

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavioral fact — only 'published' tools are returned — but says nothing about pagination semantics, empty-result behavior, or that a text query drives relevance ranking.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler or repetition. It is arguably undersized for an eight-parameter search tool, but nothing in it is wasted.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With strong annotations, a fully documented schema and no output schema, the description carries less burden than it otherwise would. Still, for an eight-parameter paginated search endpoint it omits result ordering, the cursor-loop pattern, and slug-resolution prerequisites, leaving gaps an agent must fill from the schema alone.

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% and unusually rich: defaults for sort, cursor round-trip instructions, country 400 behavior, and parent/child category matching are all documented. The description only restates three of the eight parameters at a high level, so it adds no meaning beyond the schema — baseline 3.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Search published AI image tools') plus the three filter facets (text, place, category). It is clearly a multi-result discovery tool, distinct from the singular get_listing or the list_* siblings, though it never names those siblings to contrast itself.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description gives no when-to-use guidance, no mention of alternatives (get_listing for a known item, list_categories/list_places for resolving slugs), and no statement that all filters are optional and combinable. The only routing hints live in the schema, not the description.

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