Search published sprinkler contractors by text, place and category.

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.

A3.5/5.0
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 only the 'published' scoping qualifier and the filter dimensions; it says nothing about pagination, result volume, or what happens when filters match nothing, which is the remaining behavioral gap for a search 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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the resource and its scope come first, followed by the filter dimensions. Nothing is repeated or 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 eight optional parameters, 100% schema coverage and annotations, the description is technically sufficient to call the tool. However, with no output schema it never indicates what a result contains or how paging behaves, and it omits any pointer that slug values come from the sibling list_places/list_categories tools.

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%, with slugs, sort defaults, typo fallback and cursor reuse all documented inline, so the baseline is 3. The description merely summarizes the filter axes already enumerated by the parameters and adds no semantics beyond the schema.

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 (search) plus the resource and its scope (published sprinkler contractors) and names the three filter dimensions. It is clearly distinguishable from get_listing (single record) and the list_* helpers, though it does not explicitly name those alternatives.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied by the verb 'search'; there is no statement of when to prefer this over get_listing or the list_places/list_categories lookup tools that supply the slugs the parameters require. No exclusions or prerequisites are given, so the agent must infer routing.

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