Sample matching businesses

Read-onlyIdempotent

Return a sample of matching businesses with industry, location and data-quality signals. Contact details (name, company, email, phone, address) are never returned by this tool — it shows what exists and how reachable it is, not who to call.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cityNoCity name, e.g. "Chicago", or "London" with country GB.
limitNoHow many rows to return, 1-25. Defaults to 10.
stateNoUS state, either full name ("Texas") or two-letter code ("TX"). US only.
countryNoCountry, as an ISO code ("US", "GB", "CA") or a name ("United Kingdom"). Omit to count every country. Coverage outside the US is much smaller. Countries with data: United States (US), United Kingdom (GB), Canada (CA), United Arab Emirates (AE), Australia (AU), India (IN).
industryNoIndustry or business type in plain words. Everyday wording is resolved to the stored categories, and `matchedIndustry` in the response says which one.
no_websiteNotrue = only businesses whose Google Maps listing shows no website of their own (read from the listing; a Facebook-only listing counts as none). For questions like 'restaurants in Dubai without a website' or 'plumbers in Texas with no website'.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it states that contact details are never returned, explicitly framing this as a sampling tool that shows what exists and how reachable it is. This goes beyond the annotations by setting expectations about what data is excluded. It lacks details on why contact details are excluded (privacy? licensing?) but is otherwise transparent. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Two sentences, both earning their place. The first sentence states the core function and output categories. The second sentence is a critical exclusion disclosure that prevents an agent from expecting contact info. No filler, no repetition of schema details, and the most important behavioral constraint (no contact details) is front-loaded in the second sentence.

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?

For a read-only sampling tool with six parameters (all optional), the description is largely complete. It explains what the tool returns (sample, industry, location, quality signals), what it excludes (contact details), and gives a worked example of the no_website parameter. It doesn't describe the response structure (no output schema exists), but the description mentions 'matchedIndustry' and 'data-quality signals' which hint at the response shape. For a tool with no output schema and no required parameters, the coverage is adequate. It could mention pagination or default limit, but the limit parameter documentation covers that.

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 input schema already documents all six parameters thoroughly with examples. The description adds marginal value: the 'no_website' parameter's purpose is reiterated in the description with concrete examples, and the mention of 'data-quality signals' hints at what the response will contain. However, the description doesn't significantly enhance understanding beyond the schema's parameter docs – it mostly restates them. Baseline 3 is appropriate given full schema coverage.

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?

States a specific verb ('Return'), a resource ('a sample of matching businesses'), and the key characteristics (industry, location, data-quality signals). It also clearly distinguishes itself by explicitly stating what it does NOT return (contact details), which differentiates it from siblings like count_businesses. The purpose is unmistakable.

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 implies when to use it: when you need a sample of matching businesses with quality signals, not contact details. It doesn't explicitly name sibling alternatives or conditions for when-not-to-use, but the contrast with 'Contact details... are never returned' clearly signals this tool is for reconnaissance, not outreach. The no_website parameter adds specific use cases. Clear context, though it could be more explicit about routing to count_businesses for totals.

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