Find agents for a need

find_agents
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find AI agents, MCP servers and APIs for a need. Describe it in plain words (e.g. "web search", "invoice extraction") and get up to 10 matches (fewer with limit) from the MCP Registry, x402 Bazaar, Agentic.Market and services listed here directly. Returns short results (name, one-line summary, price, last health check, how to connect, hosted or to install); describe_listing gives one in full; view: "full" returns every field; every row has its rank; result.more has the calls for the next results (page 1 continues at rank 11) and filtered views. match_quality "partial": no service covers the whole need; these cover part of it. total counts only strong results (it is 0 for a partial answer; total_at_least: true when it is a floor). Free, no key.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
needNoYour need in plain words, at most 300 characters. Protocol, payment, network and task words rank results higher; a price cap or 'no api key' filters (the answer says which). An exact listing name comes first.
pageNoThe next results after the default answer, 25 a page (1 = ranks 11-35); limit sets the page size.
viewNoshort (default) or full (every field).short
limitNoMatches to return, 1-10.
sourceNoAny of, e.g. mcp_registry, x402_bazaar; 'none' for services listed here directly.
networkNoCAIP-2 chain the service accepts payment on, e.g. eip155:8453 (one; a list with one works too).
agent_idNoOptional label for yourself (statistics only).
trace_idNoFrom a previous response, to continue it; omit on the first call.
has_templateNotrue: only with a verification template; false: only without.
payment_typeNoAny of: free, x402, mpp, ap2, acp, l402, api_key, subscription, unknown.
probe_statusNoAny of: passing, failing, unprobed, none (never checked).
include_staleNoAlso return stale listings.
max_price_usdNoHighest price in USD (recognised USD stablecoins only).
task_categoryNoTask categories (any of); list_facets shows them.
connection_typeNoAny of: mcp, a2a, rest, x402.
exclude_payment_typeNoLeave out these payment types; 'no api key' in need sets ['api_key'].
include_no_connectionNoAlso return listings with no way to connect.

  10. First observed

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well past the readOnly/idempotent annotations: it discloses the default result fields, the ranking, that result.more carries next-page calls, that match_quality "partial" means incomplete coverage, and that total is 0 on partial answers unless total_at_least is set. It also states 'Free, no key', removing auth uncertainty.

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?

Front-loads what it returns and the sources before the parenthetical-dense details. The single long paragraph with heavy semicolon/parenthesis chaining makes it harder to scan than a short bulleted structure would, but almost no sentence is filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With 17 parameters and no output schema, the description does the work of explaining the return shape (name, summary, price, health check, connection info, rank) and pagination contract. Only the relationship to sibling search_listings remains unexplained for a definition this complex.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real semantics: page 1 = ranks 11-35, view "full" returns every field, and mention that price caps or 'no api key' in the need text act as filters. Filter parameters like source and task_category are left to 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 and resource ('Find AI agents, MCP servers and APIs') plus the concrete sources it aggregates (MCP Registry, x402 Bazaar, Agentic.Market, direct listings). It never clarifies how it relates to the sibling search_listings, so the agent must guess which is the general search entry point.

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?

Gives actionable usage: describe the need in plain words, limit caps at 10, page continues at rank 11, view "full" for every field, and it explicitly routes depth lookups to describe_listing and facets to list_facets. It stops short of stating when to prefer this over search_listings.

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