stubhub_search

Read-only

Search StubHub's anonymous grouped results for performers, events, and groupings. Use stubhub_suggested_searches for autocomplete or stubhub_explore for location and date-based event discovery; this search does not need cookies or login state.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is partly covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that — the results are 'anonymous' and no cookies or login state are needed — which tells the agent about auth/session requirements. It stops short of describing result shape or pagination, but an output schema exists to cover returns.

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 tight sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose followed by routing guidance. Every clause carries information and nothing is wasted.

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 one-parameter search with an output schema, the description covers purpose, alternatives, and auth requirements adequately. The only minor gap is not clarifying what 'grouped results' entails, but that is largely covered by the output schema.

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?

With a single required 'query' parameter at 100% schema description coverage, the schema fully documents the input. The description adds no syntax or format guidance beyond the schema, so the baseline of 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 (Search) and resource (StubHub's anonymous grouped results for performers, events, and groupings), and explicitly distinguishes itself from sibling tools like stubhub_suggested_searches and stubhub_explore. An agent can tell exactly what this tool returns without opening the 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?

Names the alternatives explicitly and the conditions that select them: stubhub_suggested_searches for autocomplete, stubhub_explore for location/date-based discovery. It also states the search requires no cookies or login state, giving clear context for when this tool is the right choice.

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