List solo service-provider profiles on this site — businesses without a fixed physical location (e.g. dog walkers, tutors, personal trainers). Returns name, profile URL, category, and any available metadata (age, height, etc.).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max profiles to return (default 50). |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the return fields (name, profile URL, category, metadata) and the kind of profiles listed, but it does not mention pagination, ordering, idempotency, or authentication requirements. More behavioral context would be beneficial.
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 two sentences long, front-loaded with the tool's purpose, and contains zero fluff. Every sentence adds value.
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 list tool with a single optional parameter and no output schema, the description adequately specifies the return fields and the scope. It could mention if the list is exhaustive or paginated, but overall it provides sufficient context for a simple query.
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% (the only parameter 'limit' is described in the schema). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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 clearly states the tool lists solo service-provider profiles, specifically those without a fixed physical location, with examples (dog walkers, tutors). This verb+resource pairing is precise and distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_places or list_products.
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 implies the tool is for solo providers without a fixed location but does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives or mention any exclusions. No direct comparison to siblings is provided; the context must be inferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action. Even similar operations like create_booking, request_reservation, reserve_event_tickets, and rsvp_event are clearly differentiated by their descriptions and the entities they handle (bookable services, restaurant tables, paid events, free events). No two tools appear to do the same thing.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with lowercase and underscores (e.g., create_booking, get_availability, list_events, search_places). This uniform convention makes the tool set predictable and easy for an agent to understand and select from.
With 28 tools, the set is relatively large, exceeding the typical well-scoped range of 3-15. While each tool serves a specific purpose within the neighborhood directory domain, the count feels heavy and may overwhelm simple use cases. A reduction or grouping could improve coherence.
The tool set covers a broad range of user-facing operations for a neighborhood directory: searching places, browsing menus, booking services, reserving tables and event tickets, listing products and events, retrieving reviews and FAQs, and submitting forms. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no cancellation or create_review tool), but the core workflows are well-supported.
