sonic_locations

Read-only

Fetch paginated Sonic Drive-In stores with ready-made store paths, filterable by state and city. Use sonic_directory to browse the location hierarchy or sonic_nearby for proximity search.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 useful context beyond that: results are paginated and include ready-made store paths. It stops short of noting auth needs, rate limits, or page-size defaults, so not quite a 5.

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 with zero filler; the capability and scope are front-loaded ahead of the routing advice. Every clause earns its place.

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?

For a simple read-only list tool with 100% schema coverage and an output schema, the description covers what it does, how to filter, and which siblings to prefer. Only marginal details (pagination defaults, return shape) are absent, and those are handled by structured fields.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so city, state, page, and page_size are already fully documented in the schema. The description's 'filterable by state and city' merely restates the filters without adding format or syntax detail, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 (Fetch) and resource (Sonic Drive-In stores) with scope (paginated, filterable by state and city). It explicitly distinguishes itself from the two most relevant siblings, so an agent can tell it apart 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 names both alternatives with their selecting conditions: sonic_directory for browsing the hierarchy and sonic_nearby for proximity search. This is textbook when-to-use guidance rather than implied usage.

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