get_family_day

Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when the user wants family-suitable options for a day in one city. Returns a flat ranked list of experiences (search rows) with family-tagged rows promoted and out-of-season products dropped, not a structured morning/lunch/afternoon/evening plan. date selects which season counts as current; kids_ages and budget are accepted but NOT yet applied, so compose the day yourself and verify age suitability per pick via get_experience_details.

Input Schema

A5/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent hints, it discloses important behavior: family-tagged rows are promoted, out-of-season products are dropped, and kids_ages/budget are accepted but not applied. The description also explains that date only controls season selection, making the tool's actual behavior predictable.

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?

Three dense sentences with no filler: use case, output shape/behavior, and parameter caveats. The most decision-relevant facts (when to use and what it returns) are front-loaded.

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 6-parameter tool with output schema and complete schema descriptions, nothing material is missing. Caveats about ignored params and the guidance to follow up with get_experience_details complete the picture.

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

Parameters5/5

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

With 100% schema coverage, the baseline is 3, but the description adds real semantics: it explains how date influences season selection and explicitly warns that kids_ages and budget have no effect yet. This is exactly the kind of parameter-level caveat an agent needs.

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: returns family-suitable options for a day in one city. It further pins the exact output shape (flat ranked list of experiences) and explicitly contrasts with a structured plan, distinguishing it from nearby tools such as plan_itinerary.

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?

It gives a clear when-to-use trigger: when the user wants family-suitable options for a day in one city. It also gives a when-not by saying it is not a structured morning/lunch/afternoon/evening plan, and suggests get_experience_details for age verification, which orients the agent toward the correct follow-up.

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