TDQS
Scored across 11 tools
Each tool targets a clearly distinct resource and action: courses, listings, products, categories, places, sources, stats, and listing search. The closest pair, list_categories and list_product_categories, is disambiguated by the product qualifier and by the descriptions.
All tool names use consistent snake_case and a predictable verb_noun pattern with get_, list_, and search_ prefixes. The one get_stats tool still fits the same convention cleanly.
The server exposes 11 tools, which is well within the appropriate range and each tool corresponds to a meaningful read operation. There is no obvious redundancy or bloat.
The surface covers the core read-only directory workflows: listing search, detail fetches, category/place/source listings, product listings, course listings, and stats. Minor gaps exist, such as direct get operations for categories, places, or sources, and search/filtering for courses or products beyond product category.

11 toolsget_courseARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get one published academy course by its slug, with its objectives, lessons and FAQ. Exam questions and answers are never returned.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | The course slug. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered structurally. The description still adds genuine value with the "published only" scope and the explicit exclusion "Exam questions and answers are never returned" — a meaningful data-boundary disclosure. It stops short of describing behavior on missing inputs or error outcomes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences, front-loaded with the action and resource, followed immediately by the data-exclusion caveat. Nothing redundant or padded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a one-parameter read tool with full annotations and no output schema, the description adequately covers what is returned and what is deliberately withheld. The only gap is behavior for a nonexistent or unpublished slug, which an agent would want to know.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% and the single slug parameter already carries a pattern, length bounds, and description. The description only restates lookup-by-slug and adds the published-only filter implication, which is close to the baseline for a fully documented schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource ("Get one published academy course by its slug") and even enumerates the payload contents (objectives, lessons, FAQ). The singular "one ... course" implicitly contrasts with the listing siblings such as list_courses, but no sibling is actually named, so it falls just short of a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The word "published" signals that only live courses are retrievable, which is a partial when-to-use constraint. There is no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over list_courses or a search sibling, nor what to expect for an unpublished or unknown slug.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_listingARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get one published home lift company by its slug.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | The listing slug. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so safety is covered. The description adds one real behavioral detail — only published listings are returned, so unpublished slugs presumably yield nothing/error — but says nothing about not-found behavior or return shape.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One short sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, with no filler. It is perhaps too terse — the "published" constraint could be foregrounded as a caveat rather than buried as an adjective.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple single-param read tool with full annotations, the description covers the core contract: one published entity looked up by slug. With no output schema, the absence of any indication of what a successful response contains or what a miss looks like is a minor but real gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Single parameter with 100% schema coverage including pattern and length constraints, so the schema fully documents it. The description only restates "by its slug" and adds no format or lookup semantics beyond the schema; baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Specific verb+resource with scope qualifiers: "one" single item, "published", and "by its slug" — clearly a point lookup rather than the list/search siblings. It doesn't explicitly name search_listings or the list_* tools, so differentiation is implied by "one" rather than stated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
"By its slug" implies the prerequisite of an already-known slug, which mildly steers an agent away from this tool when it only has a name. There is no explicit when-to-use/when-not or pointer to search_listings for slug discovery.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_productARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get one affiliate product by its slug, with its page and outbound link.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | The product slug. |
TDQS
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 genuinely new information by stating the response includes the product's page and outbound link, which matters because there is no output schema. It omits not-found behavior, which keeps it below 5.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the lookup key and the returned content are both stated in one pass.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a one-parameter read tool with full annotation coverage and complete schema documentation, this is nearly sufficient. The only real gap is what happens when the slug does not resolve, which an agent would want to know.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% and the single slug parameter carries its own description plus a pattern, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description's 'by its slug' restates rather than extends that, matching the baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource ('Get one affiliate product') and scopes it to a single-item lookup, which implicitly contrasts with the plural sibling list_products. It does not explicitly name the alternative tool, so it stops short of a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
'by its slug' implies the precondition that the caller already has a slug, which is useful context for choosing this over list_products or search_listings. However, no explicit when-to-use/when-not statement or named alternative appears.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_statsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get the number of published home lift companies, places and categories, and when the data last changed.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the description does not need to restate safety. It adds useful scope by saying the counts cover published entities and that it returns a freshness timestamp, but it does not disclose additional operational behavior such as response format or caching.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
It is a single efficient sentence with the core purpose front-loaded and no redundant text. Every part contributes to what the tool returns.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter, read-only statistics tool, the description covers the key returned metrics and data freshness, and annotations cover the safety profile. The exact response shape is not specified, but the essential information an agent needs to call it correctly is present.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to explain; a baseline of 4 is appropriate. The description does not need to compensate for any schema gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb and resource: it says it gets counts of published companies, places, and categories plus when data last changed. That clearly distinguishes it from list/search tools in substance, though it does not explicitly name siblings or contrast itself with them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied by the aggregate counts and freshness data: an agent can infer this is the tool for summary statistics rather than listings. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no named alternative among get_listing, list_categories, list_places, list_sources, or search_listings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_categoriesBRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List categories with their home lift company counts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so safety is fully covered. The description adds only that each returned category is accompanied by a home lift company count, which is genuinely new context absent from annotations; it says nothing about cardinality, ordering, or whether categories are static or user-scoped.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single short sentence with no filler and the key attribute (counts) front-loaded alongside the resource. Nothing is redundant with the title or schema.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
There is no output schema, so the description carries the burden of describing the return shape; it names only one field (company counts) and leaves the category identifier/name fields, ordering, and result size unexplained. For a simple zero-param list tool this is adequate but not complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly implies a no-argument call rather than suggesting any filtering capability that does not exist.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource (list categories) plus the payload content (home lift company counts), which is more specific than a bare 'list categories'. It does not differentiate from siblings like list_places or list_sources, so an agent must infer that this is the taxonomy endpoint rather than a place listing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, and no prerequisites. With four sibling list/search tools in the same namespace, an agent has no signal for choosing list_categories over list_places or get_stats.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_coursesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List the published academy courses with their level, length, pass mark and certificate validity.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| level | No | Only courses of this level. | |
| limit | No | Most courses to return. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered by structured data. The description adds two genuinely new facts beyond that: only published courses are returned, and each record includes level, length, pass mark and certificate validity. It does not mention ordering or what happens at the limit boundary, so it adds context without being rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence, front-loaded with the verb and scoped resource, then the returned fields. Every clause earns its place and there is no redundant restatement of the name.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a two-parameter, zero-required read tool with complete annotations, the definition covers scope (published only) and return fields, which matters because no output schema exists. The remaining gap is result ordering and whether the 50-item cap implies truncation, which an agent might want to know before listing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the level enum and limit bounds (1-50, default 50) fully documented in the schema. The description's mention of 'level' marginally reinforces the filter but adds no syntax, default, or pagination semantics beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb (List) and a precisely scoped resource (published academy courses), plus the fields each result carries. It is clearly distinguishable from get_course (single item) and the unrelated list_* siblings, though no sibling is named explicitly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is only implied: the agent can infer this is the browse-all path as opposed to get_course for a single course, and that the optional level parameter narrows results. There is no explicit 'use this when' or exclusion statement, and nothing about what to do if no courses match.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_placesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List countries, regions and cities that have home lift companies.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds the useful inclusion criterion that only places with home lift companies are returned, but it does not describe return structure or ordering.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single efficient sentence that front-loads the action and the resource. Every part of the sentence contributes meaning, with no wasted language.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple, parameterless list tool with strong annotations on safety and idempotency, the description is nearly complete: it states what is listed and the inclusion criterion. The main omission is any sense of return shape or hierarchy, which is not covered by an output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool takes zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to explain. The baseline for a parameterless tool is 4, and the description does not need to compensate for any schema gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description gives a specific verb ('List') and resource ('countries, regions and cities'), plus a clear scope condition: places that have home lift companies. It is distinguishable from siblings such as list_categories and list_sources, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_categories, list_sources, or search_listings. The only implied use case is browsing geographic coverage, which an agent must infer.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_product_categoriesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List the product categories with their product counts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description's contribution beyond that is that results include product counts — useful, but no ordering, pagination, or empty-result behavior is disclosed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single short sentence with zero filler, and the key payload detail (counts) is front-loaded where the agent will read it.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter, read-only listing tool with full annotation coverage, the description plus schema is enough to invoke it correctly. Minor gap: with no output schema, the exact return shape (field names, ordering) is only alluded to.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool takes no parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to explain; the baseline for a zero-param tool applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource ('List the product categories') plus a distinguishing payload detail (product counts). However, it does not differentiate itself from the sibling 'list_categories', leaving an agent to guess which category lister to call.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative-tool guidance. The only implied cue is that this variant returns counts, which the agent must infer rather than being told.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_productsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List the affiliate products, with the price each had on the day it was checked. Filter by product category.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | No | A product category slug. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds one genuinely non-obvious data semantic — the price is a point-in-time snapshot from the day the product was checked, not a current price — but says nothing about result volume, ordering, or pagination.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences, zero filler, with the core action and the most decision-relevant detail (price snapshot semantics) front-loaded ahead of the filter note.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a one-optional-param, read-only list tool with full schema coverage and annotations, the description is largely sufficient and even hints at the returned fields (product + price). The one gap is the absence of any output schema combined with no note on pagination or result limits.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% and the single optional parameter carries its own type, slug pattern, and length bounds. The description only restates that the parameter filters by category, adding no syntax or behavior beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource ("List the affiliate products") plus the returned payload (price as of the check date) and the filter dimension. It implicitly separates from get_product (single record) and list_categories, but never names a sibling, so the differentiation is left to inference.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
"Filter by product category" plus the optional parameter implies narrowing usage, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance and no mention of when to prefer get_product, list_product_categories, or list_categories instead. Usage is implied rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_sourcesBRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List where the home lift company data comes from, with the license and refresh of each source.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint=false and no destruction, so safety is covered. The description adds that each entry carries a license and refresh cadence, which is real content beyond annotations, but with no output schema it stops short of describing the full returned shape.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with no padding; every clause (source, license, refresh) carries information about the result.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-param read-only tool with no output schema, the description could reasonably spell out the returned fields more fully (source name, URL, license type, refresh interval). It hints at two of them, which is adequate but leaves gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool takes zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to explain; the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly implies a no-argument enumeration and doesn't invent filters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource ('List where the home lift company data comes from') and names the payload fields ('license and refresh of each source'). It is clearly distinct from the listing/category/place siblings, though it never explicitly contrasts with them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no statement of when to call this versus get_listing, get_stats, or the other list_* tools. The purpose implies provenance/attribution lookup, but the agent is left to infer that.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_listingsBRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search published home lift companies by text, place and category.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | Search text, with at least one letter or digit. Matches name, categories, attributes, description and place. Typos fall back to close matches. | |
| city | No | City slug, from /places. | |
| sort | No | `relevance` needs `q` and is the default with it. `name` is the default without `q`. `recent` is newest first. | |
| limit | No | Items per page. | |
| cursor | No | `page.nextCursor` from the previous response. Opaque. Send the same filters and `limit`. | |
| region | No | Region slug, from /places. | |
| country | No | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, any case. A country the directory does not cover, as listed in /places, gives 400. | |
| category | No | Category slug, from /categories. A parent slug also matches its children. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world, so safety needs no restating. The description does add one real behavioral fact not in annotations — only 'published' companies are matched — but says nothing about result shape, ranking behavior or empty-result handling, which the schema only partially covers.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler, and the key scope word 'published' appears early. It is efficient but so terse that it forgoes the chance to carry usage or return-shape guidance.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With eight optional parameters, no output schema and is this the main entry point for the domain, the description covers only the what. It never says what a result contains, how paging surfaces, or that results are ranked, leaving the agent to reconstruct behavior from the schema alone.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description confirms that text, place and category are the intended filter dimensions but adds no syntax, precedence or combination rules beyond what the schema already documents in detail (slugs from /places and /categories, sort defaults, cursor reuse).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb (Search) and resource (published home lift companies) plus the three faceting axes (text, place, category), which is enough to distinguish it from the singular get_listing and the enumeration siblings list_categories/list_places. It does not explicitly name any sibling, so it stops short of full differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is only implied by the phrase 'search ... by text, place and category'; there is no statement of when to prefer this over list_* or get_listing, nor any exclusion or prerequisite guidance. An agent must infer that this is the discovery entry point and the others are follow-ups.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
