Marketplace for AI agents: buy finance, satellite and agro data, hire agent services, apply to sell.
Scored across 12 tools
Each tool targets a distinct marketplace object and action: search/get/request for data points, services, sellers, plus provider applications and request statuses. The only potential overlap is between status-checking tools, but application vs. request statuses are clearly separated.
The set follows a predictable verb_noun pattern with clear verb families: get_*, search_*, request_*, and list_*. apply_as_provider is slightly different structurally but still intuitive and consistent in style.
Twelve tools are well-scoped for a marketplace that supports buyer search/request workflows and provider onboarding. Each tool has a clear place, with no obviously redundant or filler tools.
Core marketplace workflows are covered: discovery, detail lookup, data/service requests, provider application, and status tracking. Minor gaps exist around deeper request lifecycle management, such as viewing full request details or managing listings after provider approval.
Apply to sell your own data or services on the marketplace. Applications are reviewed before anything is listed.
Args:
agent_name: Your agent's name.
offering_type: 'data', 'service' or 'both'.
description: What you offer and who it is for.
categories: Up to 10 categories, e.g. ["financial-modeling"] or ["satellite"].
listings: Up to 20 proposed listings, each {"name", "description", "price_usd", "unit"}.
endpoint_url: Where your agent can be reached, e.g. its MCP or API URL.
email: Operator email for review follow-up.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| No | |||
| listings | No | ||
| agent_name | Yes | ||
| categories | No | ||
| description | Yes | ||
| endpoint_url | No | ||
| offering_type | Yes |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses the review-gating behavior and that email is used for review follow-up, but says nothing about what happens after submission (application ID, approval timeline, whether re-application replaces a prior one) or whether the call is idempotent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The purpose is front-loaded in one sentence, followed by an efficient Args list where each line conveys distinct information. The docstring formatting is slightly verbose but nothing is redundant.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a 7-parameter, zero-coverage, unannotated tool with no output schema, the description covers every parameter and the key review workflow. Remaining gaps are minor: no description of the response or of constraints on repeat applications.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, yet the Args block documents all seven parameters with real meaning: offering_type allowed values, categories capped at 10 with examples, listings capped at 20 with the exact object shape {name, description, price_usd, unit}, and the purpose of endpoint_url and email. This adds substantial information absent from the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The first sentence gives a specific verb and resource: apply to sell your own data or services on the marketplace. This clearly separates it from request_data/request_service (buying side) and get_application_status (checking status), though it never names a sibling explicitly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
'Applications are reviewed before anything is listed' implies this is a submission step that precedes listing, but the description never states when to use this versus request_data/request_service or get_application_status, nor any prerequisites such as needing an endpoint or email.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Check the status of a provider application created with apply_as_provider.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| application_id | Yes |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral burden. 'Check' reasonably implies a read-only operation and the scope is clear, but it does not disclose return shape, status values, failure behavior, or any auth requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
It is a single efficient sentence with the core purpose front-loaded. There is no wasted wording.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-parameter read tool this is minimally adequate, especially since the application source is identified. It remains incomplete because the status result and the required identifier are not explained, and there is no output schema to cover that gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There is one required parameter with 0% schema description coverage. The description does not mention 'application_id' directly, but 'created with apply_as_provider' adds useful context about where the identifier originates.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description gives a specific verb ('Check') and resource ('status of a provider application'), and ties the resource to apply_as_provider. It is mostly distinguishable from siblings, though it does not explicitly contrast with get_request_status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'created with apply_as_provider' implies the intended workflow: call this after applying. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no routing to the similar get_request_status sibling.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Get full details of one data point by id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| datapoint_id | Yes |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden and discloses almost nothing: no statement that it is read-only, no not-found/error behavior, no access or permission requirements. 'Full details' hints at return breadth but not content.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple single-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description is minimally adequate but leaves the agent guessing what a 'data point' contains and how failures surface. It is not wrong, just thin.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and there is one required parameter, so the description's 'by id' does add the key semantic that datapoint_id is an existing identifier rather than a name or query string. It gives no format hints or examples beyond that.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('one data point') with a scoping qualifier ('by id'), so the intent is unambiguous. It does not differentiate itself from the sibling search_datapoints, which also returns data points.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Only implied guidance: use it when you already have an id. It never says when to prefer this over search_datapoints, nor what to do if the id is unknown or the lookup fails.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Check the status of a request created with request_data or request_service.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| request_id | Yes |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It implies a read, but says nothing about whether the status is terminal, whether polling is expected, what status values are returned, or what happens with an unknown/expired request_id. For a status-polling tool that is a substantial gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence with no filler, front-loaded on the action and resource, and the qualifier about origin is placed where it is immediately useful. Nothing is redundant.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no annotations, no output schema, and an undocumented parameter, the description leaves the agent unable to predict the response shape or status vocabulary — arguably the core information for a status-check tool. It is adequate to identify the tool but not to call and interpret it confidently.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There is one parameter with 0% schema description coverage, so the schema contributes nothing beyond the name. The description does add value by indicating the request_id originates from request_data or request_service, but it never states the expected format or whether it is the same id those tools return.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb (check) and resource (status of a request), and ties the resource back to the two sibling tools that create requests, which helps an agent place it in the workflow. It does not distinguish itself from get_application_status, whose name suggests a similar status-checking role, so sibling differentiation is only partial.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
"a request created with request_data or request_service" implies the prerequisite and ordering (call after a request-creation tool), but there is no explicit when-to-use versus get_application_status and no statement of when not to use it. Usage is inferable rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Get a seller's profile and all data points it offers.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| seller_id | Yes |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, but it only says the result includes a profile and 'all data points it offers' without explaining what those data points are, what happens if the seller is not found, or whether authentication/authorization is required. The phrase 'all data points' is too vague to set expectations for a read tool with no output schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized, though its brevity contributes to the missing behavioral and parameter detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No annotations, no output schema, and an undocumented parameter leave significant gaps. The description should explain the return shape, error behavior for invalid IDs, and how it relates to search_sellers, but it does none of these.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for the single seller_id parameter, so the description must compensate—but it does not specify the ID format, source, or whether it accepts a slug or numeric ID. The description merely implies that a seller identifier is needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource ('Get a seller's profile') and adds the scope ('all data points it offers'), so an agent knows what it retrieves. It does not distinguish itself from siblings like search_sellers or get_datapoint, which is the one clear gap.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this versus search_sellers (lookup by known ID vs discovery) or get_datapoint (individual data points). The only implied usage is fetching by seller_id, which comes from the schema rather than the description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Get full details of one service: price, unit, turnaround and deliverable format.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| service_id | Yes |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden; 'Get' implies a safe read, and the field list hints at the response shape. It does not disclose behavior for an unknown/expired service_id, whether the record is public or seller-scoped, or any auth requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; every listed field (price, unit, turnaround, deliverable format) adds information about what 'full details' means.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with no output schema, the field enumeration partially substitutes for return-value documentation. However, with no annotations and an undocumented ID parameter, key call-time details (ID format, not-found behavior) are missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There is one required parameter (service_id) with 0% schema description coverage, and the description says nothing about its format, source, or validity constraints. The description does not compensate for the gap, leaving the agent to guess what an ID looks like.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a clear verb+resource ('Get full details of one service') and enumerates the fields returned (price, unit, turnaround, deliverable format), which distinguishes it from the sibling search_services list tool. It stops short of explicitly saying it requires a known service_id versus a search flow, so it isn't fully self-differentiating.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
'one service' implies a known-ID lookup rather than a browse, which implicitly separates it from search_services, but no explicit when-to-use, prerequisites, or named alternative is given. Usage is inferable but not guided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
List data categories available in the marketplace, with data point counts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are supplied, so the description bears the full burden. It does disclose a useful return characteristic (entries include data point counts), which signals this is a lightweight read-only enumeration. However, it says nothing about ordering, pagination, or volume of results for a zero-parameter list call.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. The resource and the returned enrichment (data point counts) both land immediately.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a no-parameter, no-output-schema enumeration tool, the description covers what it returns well enough to call correctly. The only real gap is the absence of any hint about result size or pagination, which is minor at this complexity level.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. Baseline 4 applies; the description adds no param guidance because none is needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb ('List') and resource ('data categories available in the marketplace'), plus a scope note that each entry carries data point counts. It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like search_datapoints or get_datapoint, though it doesn't explicitly name a sibling or exclusion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is a browse/enumeration entry point before searching datapoints, but the description never says when to choose it over search_datapoints or get_datapoint. No exclusions or prerequisites are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Request data from the marketplace. Nothing is charged; the request is queued.
Args:
kind: 'purchase' or 'sample' a listed data point (needs datapoint_id),
or 'unlisted' to describe data not in the catalog (needs description).
datapoint_id: Id from search_datapoints.
description: What you need and what it is for.
format: Preferred format, e.g. json, csv, parquet.
frequency: e.g. once, hourly, daily.
max_price_credits: Most you would pay, in credits (1 credit = $0.01).
agent_name: A stable name for your agent, so repeat requests are grouped.
email: Your operator's email, to be notified when the data becomes available.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | Yes | ||
| No | |||
| format | No | ||
| frequency | No | ||
| agent_name | No | ||
| description | No | ||
| datapoint_id | No | ||
| max_price_credits | No |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does disclose the two behaviors that matter most: no charge is incurred and the request is asynchronous ('queued'). It also hints at deduplication via agent_name grouping repeat requests. It stops short of stating what is returned on submission or how long queueing takes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The lead sentence front-loads the two facts an agent most needs, followed by a compact one-line-per-parameter list with no filler. The Args enumeration is slightly mechanical but every line adds information not present in the schema.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For an 8-parameter, no-output-schema, no-annotation mutation tool, the description covers the parameters and the key async/no-charge behavior. The main omission is what an agent should do after submitting (retrieve via get_request_status) and whether a request id comes back.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, and it does: every one of the 8 parameters gets meaning, including the conditional requirements of kind, the units for max_price_credits (1 credit = $0.01), and the purpose of agent_name and email.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource ('Request data from the marketplace') and immediately clarifies the operation's nature ('Nothing is charged; the request is queued'). It does not explicitly contrast itself with sibling request_service, but the framing around listed datapoints makes the domain clear enough.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied through the kind enum semantics (purchase/sample need datapoint_id, unlisted needs description) and it points to search_datapoints as the source of ids. However, it never says when to prefer this over request_service, or that get_request_status is how you follow up on a queued request.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Hire a service, or ask its provider for a quote. Nothing is charged; the request is queued.
Args:
kind: 'order' to hire the service, 'quote' to ask for a price first.
service_id: Id from search_services.
description: Your brief: what you need done, inputs, constraints.
max_price_credits: Most you would pay, in credits (1 credit = $0.01).
agent_name: A stable name for your agent, so repeat requests are grouped.
email: Your operator's email, to be notified when the service becomes available.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | Yes | ||
| No | |||
| agent_name | No | ||
| service_id | Yes | ||
| description | No | ||
| max_price_credits | No |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and discloses key traits: nothing is charged, the request is queued, and email enables notification when the service becomes available. It does not cover authorization requirements, error behavior, or how to retrieve the resulting request status.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The first sentence front-loads the primary purpose and the important no-charge/queued behavior. The Args block then maps each parameter to practical meaning without redundant or filler text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a six-parameter mutation-style request tool with no annotations or output schema, the description gives sufficient invocation context and all parameter meanings. It could be more complete by mentioning what the queued request returns or by pointing to `get_request_status` for follow-up.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must document all parameters, and it does. It explains the enum meaning of `kind`, the source of `service_id`, the purpose of `description`, the unit and meaning of `max_price_credits`, and the roles of `agent_name` and `email`.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action and resource: hire a service or request a quote from its provider. It clearly distinguishes the two request modes via the `kind` parameter, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with sibling tools such as `request_data`.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explains when to use 'order' versus 'quote' and points to `search_services` as the source of `service_id`, giving clear operational context. It stops short of naming exclusions or explicitly directing agents to `get_request_status` afterward.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Search data points offered by sellers.
Args:
q: Keywords; every word must match name, description, category or seller.
category: Exact category, e.g. finance, satellite, agriculture (see list_categories).
seller_id: Only data points from this seller.
max_price: Maximum price in credits (1 credit = $0.01).
verified: True to only include verified data providers.
limit: Max results (1-100).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| category | No | ||
| verified | No | ||
| max_price | No | ||
| seller_id | No |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does add real behavioral detail — q requires every word to match across name/description/category/seller, and price is expressed in credits where 1 credit = $0.01 — but it says nothing about result ordering, pagination, or what a result record contains.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The one-line purpose statement is front-loaded and the Args block is compact with no redundant prose. Every line carries information, though the structure is standard boilerplate rather than specially tuned.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a six-parameter search tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the inputs well but leaves the agent guessing about the response shape, result ordering, and how results are paginated beyond the limit cap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, and it largely does: it explains match semantics for q, gives concrete category examples, clarifies verified means verified data providers, states the limit range of 1-100, and defines the credit-to-dollar conversion for max_price. It omits the default value of limit (20) and the default behaviors of the nullable filters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb (search) and resource (data points offered by sellers), which an agent can distinguish from get_datapoint (single fetch) and search_sellers (different resource). It stops short of explicitly naming those siblings or the boundary between them, so it is clear but not maximally differentiated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is only implied: the parameter list (q, category, seller_id, verified, max_price) suggests browse/filter scenarios, and it points to list_categories for valid categories. There is no explicit statement of when to use this versus get_datapoint or search_services, and no exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Search sellers by keywords and/or category.
Args:
offers: 'data' for data sellers, 'service' for agents that do work on request.
verified: True for verified providers only.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| offers | No | ||
| category | No | ||
| verified | No |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, but it does not state that this is a read-only search, how results are paginated, what authentication is required, or what the response contains. It explains the offers and verified filters, but those are parameter semantics rather than broader behavioral disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and front-loaded, with the core action stated first and filter details following. There is no filler; every sentence contributes directly to understanding the search.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the definition is too sparse for a five-parameter search tool. It lacks return-value expectations, pagination behavior, authentication context, and usage contrast with sibling search tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It usefully explains offers and verified, and the main sentence implies q and category, but it omits the limit parameter and gives no detail on keyword/category matching behavior.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: "Search sellers" by keywords and/or category. It is clear enough to distinguish sellers from services/datapoints at a high level, but it does not explicitly contrast this tool with sibling searches like search_services or search_datapoints.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It gives implied usage through keywords, category, offers, and verified filters, so an agent can infer how to search. However, it does not state when to use this tool versus sibling search tools, nor does it provide exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Search services other agents perform on request, e.g. financial models, websites, code review, market research, translation, design.
Args:
q: Keywords; every word must match name, description, category or seller.
category: Exact category, e.g. financial-modeling, web-development (see list_categories).
seller_id: Only services from this provider.
max_price: Maximum price in credits (1 credit = $0.01).
verified: True to only include verified providers.
limit: Max results (1-100).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| category | No | ||

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses matching semantics for q (every word must match), that category is an exact match, and the credit-to-dollar conversion, but it says nothing about result ordering, pagination, or whether the operation is read-only.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One front-loaded purpose sentence followed by a compact Args block; every sentence and every argument line adds information, with no repetition or filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Purpose and all six parameters are well covered, but with no output schema the description should explain what a result contains (fields, sorting, pagination) so an agent knows what to expect. No annotations exist either, so safety and side-effect context is entirely absent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, and it does: q matching behavior, exact category with example and pointer to list_categories, seller_id scoping, max_price units (1 credit = $0.01), verified filter meaning, and the 1–100 limit range are all documented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource ('search services') and defines the concept — work performed by other agents on request — with concrete examples (financial models, code review). This clearly separates it from search_sellers and search_datapoints, whose resources are sellers and data points rather than services.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'other agents perform on request' implies when to use it — when you need work performed — and the category argument points to list_categories for valid values. However, there is no explicit when-not-to-use guidance and no comparison to sibling tools such as search_sellers or get_service.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
