get_travel_tips

Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this to surface bookable experiences relevant to a practical topic in a city, such as transport passes or food tours. It returns a ranked list of experiences (search rows) ONLY: the topic filter is accepted but not yet applied, and the payload contains no tips text, emergency numbers, or phrases. Do not rely on it for actual logistics guidance; answer those questions yourself and use this list for bookable add-ons.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations declaring read-only and idempotent behavior, the description discloses important operational limitations: the topic filter is accepted but not applied, the payload contains no tips or emergency numbers, and only ranked experience search rows are returned. This materially helps an agent set expectations.

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 sentences, each earning its place: purpose, behavioral limitation, and usage guidance. The most critical information is front-loaded, and there is no redundant restating of the schema.

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 relatively simple tool with a full input schema and an output schema, the description covers purpose, return type, limitations, and how the agent should act. Nothing essential is missing for correct invocation and interpretation.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds value by clarifying the topic parameter's practical limitation—that it is accepted but not yet applied—and by giving concrete examples like transport passes and food tours, which go beyond the schema's enum labels.

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: it surfaces bookable experiences relevant to a practical topic in a city. It clearly distinguishes itself from a logistics/tips tool by emphasizing that it returns only search rows and no tips text or emergency information.

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 gives clear context for when to use the tool: for bookable experiences tied to practical topics. It also explicitly warns not to rely on it for actual logistics guidance, which is a useful exclusion, though it does not name a specific sibling alternative.

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