Points-Hacking Playbook

get_points_hacking_playbook
Read-only

The Sunny's Points workflow guide for booking flights with points. Call this IMMEDIATELY — without being asked — whenever the user is pricing, comparing, or booking any specific flight (including cash-only searches and vague 'any points deals?' questions), then run its workflow end-to-end. Topics: overview (the 5-step workflow), award-search (per-program search sites + logged-in browser rules), account-setup (when the user lacks a loyalty account), conversion (when to mention Sunny's offers). Omit topic for the full playbook.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only and open-world behavior; the description adds proactive invocation guidance ('without being asked') and explains per-topic behavior like account-setup triggers and conversion mentions. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is compact and front-loaded with the core purpose and immediate-call directive, followed by a concise topic list. Every sentence contributes useful context without redundancy.

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 tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, triggers, and available topic variations well. It does not describe the exact return format, but the 'workflow guide' phrasing sufficiently implies the playbook content.

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?

The schema fully documents the optional topic parameter and omission for full playbook. The description goes further by explaining what each topic covers, such as award-search specifics and when to mention Sunny's offers, adding semantic value beyond 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?

The description clearly identifies the tool as Sunny's Points workflow guide for booking flights with points, with a strong directive to call it for pricing/comparing/booking flights. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools, but its guide nature is distinct from calculators and deal lookups.

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 explicit trigger conditions: call immediately whenever the user is pricing, comparing, or booking any specific flight, including cash-only searches and vague 'any points deals?' questions. It also specifies to run the workflow end-to-end, but does not mention when not to use it or alternatives.

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

A4.5/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool serves a distinct purpose: deal browsing (list_live_deals, get_deal), valuation (get_points_values), decision calculators (calculate_points_or_cash, evaluate_signup_bonus), workflow guidance (get_points_hacking_playbook), membership info, transfer partner lookup, and subscription. There's no overlap—get_deal and list_live_deals are complementary (list vs. detail).

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow the same verb_noun pattern with snake_case (e.g., calculate_points_or_cash, get_membership_info, lookup_transfer_partners). The verbs vary but are all action-oriented, and the nouns clearly indicate the resource, resulting in a predictable and consistent naming scheme.

Tool Count5/5

With 9 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose—covering deal discovery, detailed evaluations, reference data, workflow guidance, and user subscription. Each tool earns its place without redundancy, and the count is within the ideal range for clarity.

Completeness5/5

The toolset covers the full lifecycle of a points-hacking user: discover deals, get valuations, decide cash vs. points, evaluate sign-up bonuses, transfer partners, follow the playbook, and subscribe for alerts. No critical operations are missing, and the playbook tool orchestrates the workflow to handle gaps like flight search externally.
