Read-onlyIdempotent

Full-text search across every published PCF control and its documentation, ranked by relevance. Use it when you know what a control should do but not what it is called; use list_components instead to filter by category, tag, author or control type, and get_component when you already have a slug. Returns control and documentation hits, each with a snippet and a URL. A query that matches nothing is an empty result rather than an error, and a misspelling may be answered with results for a corrected spelling, which the result states.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as read-only and idempotent, and the description adds substantial behavioral context beyond that: it returns both control and documentation hits with snippets and URLs, treats no-match as an empty result (not an error), and discloses that misspellings may yield corrected results that are labeled. This is valuable context that the annotations do not cover.

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 yet information-dense, front-loading the core purpose, then usage guidance, then return details and edge cases. Every sentence adds value; there is no redundant or vague wording.

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 search tool with an output schema, the description covers essential context: scope, ranking, return content (snippets and URLs), and unusual behaviors (empty results, misspelling). The presence of an output schema covers return structure, and the description fills in the behavioral gaps, making it complete for an agent to call correctly.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters (query and limit) with clear descriptions. The tool description does not add additional parameter-level semantics beyond what the schema 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.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool does a full-text search across every published PCF control and its documentation, ranked by relevance. It names specific sibling tools and the conditions under which they should be used instead, making the purpose unambiguous and well-differentiated.

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 explicitly says when to use this tool ('when you know what a control should do but not what it is called') and provides direct alternatives: list_components for filtering by category/tag/author/type, and get_component when you have a slug. It also notes edge-case behavior (empty result vs. error, misspelling correction) which guides expectations.

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