search_listings
Read-onlyIdempotent

Browse and filter the directory (raw records). For a need in plain words use find_agents. Compact items by default (compact=false: full records). Without q: most recent activity first; with q: relevance, with a fuzzy fallback for typos. Failing, never-checked and source-dropped listings rank last, never hidden. Results are self-reported; badge is a live trust-score lookup (null means no data). Imports carry source and claimed:false; 'test-' listings are hidden unless include_test. next_cursor pages (it belongs to its exact query). Free.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the read-only annotations, the description discloses ranking behavior, fuzzy fallback, hidden test listings, pagination scope, self-reported data, badge lookup semantics, import claimed status, and cost. These are substantial behavioral details an agent needs before invoking the tool.

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 front-loaded with purpose and alternative routing, then covers important behavior in dense clauses. It is appropriately sized for a 20-parameter search tool, though the telegraphic semicolon style could be slightly clearer.

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 complex search tool with no output schema, the description explains result ordering, compact versus full records, trust-score badge behavior, pagination, hidden test listings, and import metadata. These details are sufficient for an agent to interpret and page through results correctly.

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 meaning for key parameters: q affects relevance and fuzzy fallback, compact controls record shape, include_test controls hidden test listings, cursor belongs to its exact query, and source/claimed relate to imports. It does not clarify every one of the 20 parameters, but it meaningfully supplements the schema.

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 states a specific verb and resource: browse and filter the directory as raw records. It explicitly distinguishes this from the sibling find_agents for plain-words needs, so an agent can select between them without opening schemas.

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?

It clearly routes plain-words searches to find_agents and explains q-based ordering versus recency-based browsing. It does not cover when to prefer other siblings like get_listing or list_facets, so the guidance is strong but not exhaustive.

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