create_booking

Book an appointment slot at a venue (Wix Bookings). NOTHING IS BOOKED UNTIL THE CUSTOMER PAYS: this returns a checkout URL, and the booking stays off the venue's calendar until a human opens that URL and completes payment on the venue's own site. Tell the user they must open the link. Call get_availability immediately before this — the slot is re-validated server-side and a taken slot is rejected. The contact email is NOT verified at this step; the checkout is what confirms it.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It discloses that the tool returns a checkout URL, that the booking is not confirmed until payment, that email is not verified, and that slot re-validation occurs server-side. This is substantial context, though it could mention whether the operation is idempotent or any side effects beyond the checkout flow.

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?

The description is concise (3 sentences) yet packed with essential information. It front-loads the main purpose and immediately highlights the key behavioral caveat (payment required). Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Given the complexity (6 parameters including a nested object, no output schema), the description fully covers the return value (checkout URL), prerequisites (get_availability), and behavioral caveats (no booking until payment, email not verified). It leaves no major gaps for a safe invocation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, but the description adds critical nuance: email is not verified and that startDate/endDate must exactly match get_availability output. This goes beyond the schema's basic descriptions. The note about phone formatting ('Any formatting is accepted') is also helpful.

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 action ('Book an appointment slot'), resource ('appointment slot at a venue'), and context ('Wix Bookings'). It distinguishes itself by emphasizing that nothing is booked until payment, contrasting with potential sibling tools like create_checkout.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description provides explicit guidance: call get_availability immediately before, and informs the agent to tell the user about the checkout URL. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or list direct alternatives, though it implicitly suggests that get_availability is a prerequisite.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource or action: search, get, list, create, submit, etc. Potential overlaps like create_booking vs request_reservation vs reserve_event_tickets are clarified by descriptions distinguishing appointment booking, restaurant table requests, and event ticket holds.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (e.g., list_services, get_place, create_booking). No mixing of styles, and verbs accurately describe the operation.

Tool Count4/5

28 tools is slightly above typical range but well-justified given the breadth of the site (places, events, movies, food, booking, forms, etc.). Each tool serves a clear purpose without feeling bloated.

Completeness4/5

Covers major read and action scenarios for a neighborhood directory. Missing update/delete operations for places and bookings, but those are likely not exposed via this API. Minor gaps like canceling reservations are handled externally.
