list_booking_services

List a venue's services — what it offers, with price and duration. Pass place_slug (from search_places) to list the services of a specific VENUE — a salon, clinic or studio listed in this directory; that is what you want in almost every case, and it is the only form whose serviceId works with create_booking. Omitting place_slug lists the directory site's own services instead, which most sites do not have. Returns name, description, price, duration in minutes, and bookableViaMcp. Services are listed for EVERY venue, including those with no online booking system — check bookableViaMcp: when it is false, id is null and you cannot book through create_booking, so point the user at bookingUrl or the venue's page instead.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description fully covers behavior: it lists services for every venue (including non-bookable ones), explains the bookableViaMcp flag, and notes that id is null when not bookable. Discloses output fields and consequence for create_booking.

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 a single paragraph but well-structured: purpose first, then conditional guidance, then return fields and caveat. It is front-loaded and every sentence adds value. Could be slightly shorter or broken into bullets for clarity, but remains efficient.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple 1-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is remarkably complete: it names all return fields, explains the critical bookableViaMcp field, and provides actionable next steps. No gaps remain.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Although schema coverage is 100%, the description adds deep context: the conditional behavior of place_slug (venue vs directory services), the link to search_places and create_booking, and the interpretation of the bookableViaMcp field. This goes beyond the schema's description.

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 lists a venue's services with price and duration. It uses a specific verb 'List' and resource 'venue's services'. It distinguishes itself from siblings like create_booking and get_availability by focusing on service listing and linking to search_places.

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 provides explicit guidance: use place_slug from search_places to list a specific venue's services (the common case), and omit it only for the directory's own services (rare). It also warns that services include non-bookable venues, advising to check bookableViaMcp and redirect to bookingUrl.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct action on a specific resource (e.g., create_booking vs create_checkout vs reserve_event_tickets). Descriptions clearly differentiate purposes, and no two tools overlap in functionality.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., get_availability, list_categories, search_dishes). Verbs like get, list, create, request, rsvp are used uniformly, making the set predictable.

Tool Count4/5

28 tools is above the typical 3-15 range, but the server covers a broad domain (places, events, movies, booking, store, etc.). Each tool serves a clear purpose, so the count is justified for the scope.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface is extensive, covering searching, details, reviews, booking, events, menus, etc. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no cancel/update operations), but they are likely intentional given the user-facing nature of the server.
