recommend_experiences

Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when the user describes what they want in natural language rather than naming a category. Parses the query for audience, mood, constraints, occasion, and time of day, then returns scored recommendations with a reason field explaining the match.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`pax`	No	Number of people. Default 2.
`city`	No	Optional city slug. If omitted, the city is parsed from the query.
`date`	No	Optional ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) for availability-aware ranking.
`limit`	No	Number of recommendations to return (1-20). Default 5.
`query`	Yes	Natural-language preference, e.g., "romantic evening in Paris under 100 euros" or "rainy day in Edinburgh with kids 8 and 12".
`format`	No	Response shape. 'json' returns structured records; 'text' returns the same content rendered as a short narrative paragraph for chat surfaces.	json
`language`	No	BCP-47 language code for human-readable fields (e.g., 'en', 'fr-FR'). Defaults to English when omitted.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, covering safety. The description adds meaningful behavioral detail beyond the schema: it parses for audience, mood, constraints, occasion, and time of day, and returns scored recommendations with a reason field. This helps the agent anticipate the tool's reasoning and output characteristics.

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?

The description is two sentences with no filler. The usage trigger is front-loaded, the parse behavior is summarized in a compact list of dimensions, and the output characteristic (scored recommendations with reason field) is included 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?

Given the output schema exists and annotations cover safety and idempotency, the description is complete enough for tool selection and invocation. It covers the trigger, parse behavior, and result shape. It could more explicitly distinguish from overlapping siblings like compare_experiences or get_date_night, but this is not a critical gap.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds extra semantic value by specifying the dimensions parsed from the query (audience, mood, constraints, occasion, time of day), which enriches understanding of the query parameter beyond the schema's examples. This justifies a slight upgrade.

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 trigger (user describes desires in natural language), names the tool's action (parses and returns scored recommendations), and distinguishes it from category-based tools by saying 'rather than naming a category.' This makes it clear how recommend_experiences differs from siblings like search_experiences or search_by_mood.

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 opens with an explicit when-to-use condition: use this tool when the user describes preferences in natural language rather than naming a category. It gives a clear exclusion ('rather than naming a category') but does not name a specific alternative sibling tool, so the guidance is strong but not fully explicit about alternatives.

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