Submit an ENQUIRY to human providers (two steps; not a purchase)

submit_enquiry

Submits an enquiry to Private Health Costs — NOT a purchase, NOT a guaranteed quote. Step 1: call with the answers (keyed by field key from enquiry_fields) and consent=true; it validates and returns a summary, the consent line and a confirmation token — show the person the summary and the consent line. Step 2: only if the person agrees, call again with the same answers, consent=true and the confirmation token; the enquiry is then submitted, and the person receives an email with a link they must click before any provider sees it. Consent means the person has read and agreed to: "Send my enquiry to Private Health Costs. I'll be emailed the names of up to three relevant private clinics and scan providers that could help, and choose which of them, if any, receive it; nothing goes to any of them until I do. The ones I choose may pay a fixed fee for the enquiry, never a share of what I pay them."

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does so: it discloses that step 1 only validates, that step 2 triggers an email with a click-through link, that no provider sees the enquiry until that click, that clinics may pay a fixed fee, and the exact consent text. This is unusually rich disclosure of effects and side effects for a mutation tool.

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?

Front-loaded with the critical disambiguation (NOT a purchase) and structured as Step 1 / Step 2, so the process is skimmable. It loses a point because the full consent paragraph is quoted verbatim and also appears in the schema's consent description, making the middle of the entry dense and repetitive.

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?

No output schema exists, and the description compensates by naming what step 1 returns (summary, consent line, confirmation token) and what the person receives afterward (an email with a required click). The nested answers object is explained via the enquiry_fields cross-reference. Nothing essential to correct invocation is missing.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning: it explains that answers must be keyed by field key from enquiry_fields, that consent=true is required in both steps, and that the confirmation token is the value returned by step 1. It adds sequencing semantics the schema cannot express.

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 (submits) and resource (an enquiry to Private Health Costs) and immediately negates the two plausible misreadings: not a purchase, not a guaranteed quote. It also distinguishes itself from siblings by pointing to enquiry_fields as the source of the field keys used in the answers object.

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?

Gives an explicit two-step protocol: step 1 with answers and consent=true returns a summary and token, step 2 with the same answers plus the token only 'if the person agrees'. The gating condition for the second call is stated, not inferred.

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