sonic_directory

Read-only

Browse the Sonic Drive-In restaurant directory as a country, state, and city tree with counts. Use sonic_locations for paginated stores, sonic_store for one location, or sonic_nearby for a coordinate-based search.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the result is a hierarchical tree with counts, but since an output schema exists this is largely redundant, and it says nothing about pagination, caching, or rate limits. Adequate, not rich.

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?

Two sentences, zero waste. The capability statement comes first and the sibling routing comes second, which is the right order for an agent scanning for a candidate tool.

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?

With no parameters, a present output schema, and annotations covering the safety profile, the only thing the description needs to add is scope and routing, both of which are supplied. An agent can select and call this tool confidently from the description alone.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to compensate for; the baseline of 4 applies. No meaningful parameter detail is missing.

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?

States a specific verb (browse) and resource (Sonic Drive-In restaurant directory) plus the exact shape of the result: a country/state/city tree with counts. This is clearly distinguishable from the location-retrieval siblings without opening any schema.

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?

Explicitly routes the agent to three named alternatives with the condition that selects each: sonic_locations for paginated stores, sonic_store for one location, sonic_nearby for coordinate-based search. Nothing is left to inference about when to pick this tool.

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