search_by_vin

Aggregated search by VIN across all car-kinds (ОТТС/ОТШ/ЗОТТС/ЗОТШ/ СБКТС/ЗОЕТС). Open for any active API key — no subscription required.

Returns documents whose VIN field contains the given fragment, newest
first. For exact full-VIN search within a single registry use the
per-kind tool (search_otts/search_sbkts/…) with its `vin` parameter.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses fragment matching, newest-first ordering, and open access. Lacks mention of pagination or rate limits, but output schema likely covers return structure.

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 concise paragraphs, front-loaded with primary purpose, zero wasted words.

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?

Given a single parameter, output schema, and no annotations, the description covers aggregated scope, fragment matching, ordering, authentication, and sibling differentiation—fully sufficient for an AI agent.

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?

Schema covers the vin parameter with description and constraints. Description adds context that it's a fragment search and notes the alternative exact search, adding meaning beyond the schema.

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?

The description clearly states this tool performs aggregated search by VIN across all car-kinds, distinguishing it from per-kind sibling tools like search_otts and search_sbkts.

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 tells when to use this (aggregated, VIN fragment search) and when to use per-kind tools for exact full-VIN search. Also notes no subscription required.

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