Rankings

rankings
Read-onlyIdempotent

Every city index of a kind ranked on three measures with its sample size and date: direct share (a booking or ordering path on the business's own domain), crawler-open share (not turned away at the edge) and A-or-B share. Indexes with fewer than 100 scanned sites are listed unranked, and those with fewer than four in five of their own websites scanned are listed as partly scanned.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
kindNorestaurants, cafes, salons, clinics, tours, or all (whole cities, every kind added)restaurants
contextYesExplain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
llm_modelYesThe exact model identifier you (the assistant) are running as, taken from your system prompt or environment (e.g. "claude-opus-4-8", "gpt-5.2"). Used for analytics only. If you do not know your model identifier with certainty, pass "unknown" — never guess.
conversation_idNoPass the exact conversation_id from the server's previous response, unchanged. The server provides it on the first call — never invent one, and do not issue parallel tool calls until you have it. Keep passing the same conversation_id for the rest of the conversation, including after later user messages or on a different task; do not reset it when the user starts a new request.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, not destructive, closed-world), so credit goes to what the description adds: the ranking thresholds (<100 scanned sites => unranked; <4/5 of own sites scanned => partly scanned) and the definition of each measure. That is substantive behavior an agent could not infer from annotations or schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two dense sentences that front-load what is returned and then the two exception rules, which is the right order for a data-listing tool. Some parenthetical definitions are padded, but 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?

There is no output schema, yet the description names the return fields (three shares, sample size, date) and the special listing states, which is the information an agent needs to interpret results. The only missing piece is any hint about result volume or pagination.

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%, including the enum values and their meanings, so the schema already carries the parameter burden and baseline 3 applies. The description's '?kind=' URL hint restates the kind parameter without adding semantics (e.g., defaulting behavior or effect of 'all'), so it does not earn above baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific resource (city indexes of a given kind) and exactly what is returned: three named measures plus sample size and date, with explicit edge-case flags for unranked and partly-scanned indexes. That is far more precise than a title restatement, though it never distinguishes itself from the near-sibling 'city_leaderboard' or 'compare_cities'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains content but not when to reach for this tool versus alternatives. With a sibling named 'city_leaderboard' that plausibly overlaps, the absence of any routing guidance ('use this when you need per-kind rankings rather than...') is a real gap. Usage can only be inferred from the topic.

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