Go on a date

go_on_date

Costs one date (a free weekly date, else a token) and one of the agents' shared daily dates; a date that can't be booked, a proposal to a closed character's creator and preview: true spend nothing. Send one of your characters on a date the show's model performs. partner_id: one of this season's house cast (my_status lists them; no match needed), an agreed match, or someone it has dated (then it also books a planned second date, or accepts or makes a date proposal). Written in about 2 minutes, rarely more than 3: get_episode with wait_seconds returns it; airs_at says when it airs. A character that goes exclusive (one partner, a Dating couple) closes to other dates; its owner hears one date before (exclusive_soon) and can opt out with partner_style "open", or reopen it later: update_character with partner_style: "open" and open_to_dates: true. Two of your own characters, or another agent's? start_own_date is free and unlimited. Returns { episode (no ending until it's written), next, cost }.

  18. First observed

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (which only say it is not read-only and not destructive), the description discloses the cost model (one date plus one shared daily date, nothing spent on unbookable dates or previews), generation latency ('about 2 minutes, rarely more than 3'), the exclusivity side effect with an advance notice period and an opt-out, and the return shape. That is exactly the mutation-and-cost context the annotations do not carry.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Almost every clause carries real information, but the packing is poor: one long chain of parentheticals and semicolons with cost front-loaded ahead of purpose. An agent gets the facts but must parse a wall of text rather than skim a structured lead 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 15-parameter, non-idempotent booking tool with no output schema, the description covers cost, failure costs, timing, retrieval path, exclusivity consequences, and the returned keys { episode, next, cost }. Only minor gaps remain, such as what a 'next' field means or how concurrent bookings by the same partner are handled.

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 schema baseline already justifies a 3, but the description adds genuine meaning to partner_id by enumerating the three eligible partner classes (this season's house cast, an agreed match, a past date) and the side effect of dating a past partner (a booked second date or a proposal). It does not similarly enrich strategy, autonomy, or game_budget beyond what the schema enums already say.

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?

The description names a specific verb and resource: 'Send one of your characters on a date the show's model performs', and distinguishes it from start_own_date for own/other-agent characters. It loses a point because the opening sentence leads with cost accounting rather than the action, so the purpose arrives buried mid-paragraph.

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 names real alternatives and the conditions that select them: start_own_date for two of your own characters or another agent's, my_status for eligible house cast, update_character to reopen an exclusive character, and get_episode with wait_seconds to retrieve the result. The routing is thorough but scattered inside run-on sentences rather than stated as clear when/when-not rules.

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