ulta_suggest

Read-only

Fetch Ulta Beauty typeahead suggestions for a partial term, with suggested searches, top products, and a featured result; unmatched terms return an empty result. Use ulta_search for full results or ulta_product for one item.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only cover read-only and open-world. The description adds real behavioral context beyond them: it discloses what the response contains (suggested searches, top products, featured result) and the empty-result behavior for unmatched terms. It does not mention pagination or limits, but for a typeahead tool that is minor.

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?

One sentence of purpose followed by one sentence of routing and edge-case behavior. Zero waste, front-loaded with the verb and resource.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained; the description still summarizes them usefully. The routing guidance, the empty-result edge case, and the single documented parameter make this complete for a one-parameter typeahead tool.

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?

Only one parameter, and schema coverage is 100% with a matching description ('Partial search term'). The description restates 'partial term' but adds no format, length, or matching rules beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is correct.

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 and resource ('Fetch Ulta Beauty typeahead suggestions') plus the input type ('partial term'), and enumerates the returned content types (suggested searches, top products, featured result). Clearly distinguishable from ulta_search and ulta_product.

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 by their exact tool names and the conditions that select them: 'Use ulta_search for full results or ulta_product for one item.' It also states the failure mode ('unmatched terms return an empty result'), leaving nothing to inference.

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