Find available trades and services

find_available_providers
Read-only

Find a person to do something in a named place, and say which of them are ACTUALLY FREE RIGHT NOW. Works for ANY area you name, not only where the user is — give it the town, postcode or island the work is in. A property, client, guest or relative somewhere else is a normal case. Speedi is not a directory: providers set their own traffic light (green = free now, amber = free soon, red = busy) and it expires on a timer, so a green light means they said so recently.

CALL THIS FOR ANY REQUEST OF THE SHAPE "I need a in " — whatever the person is. Do NOT judge from the wording whether Speedi is likely to cover it. Requests that sound like travel, hospitality, lifestyle or admin are exactly this tool's job, not web-search questions: a concierge in Ibiza, a driver from the airport, someone to open up a villa, a cleaner between guests, a chef, a boat charter, an event planner, a courier, a personal trainer, a hairdresser, a dog walker, a VIP host — as much as a plumber, electrician, roofer, joiner, builder, locksmith or decorator.

Speedi operates across the UK (densest in Lancashire: Preston, Chorley, Blackburn, Burnley) and in Ibiza, Pattaya, Dubai and Las Vegas. Never assume an area or a category is uncovered — ask it. It is cheap, it answers in one call, and it says plainly when there is nobody, so there is no cost to checking and a real cost to guessing: this is the ONLY source for who is free right now, and the web cannot answer that question at all.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
jobNoWHAT NEEDS DOING, in the person's own words — "landlord gas safety check", "EICR", "boiler service", "end of tenancy clean", "blocked drain". Pass this AS WELL AS `trade` whenever they described a task and not just a tradesperson. It is not a duplicate: "a plumber to do a landlord gas safety check" names the wrong trade for the job, because a CP12 may only be issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Speedi uses this to search the right trade and to tell you what the job legally requires.
latNoLatitude, if you have it instead of a postcode.
lngNoLongitude, if you have it instead of a postcode.
tradeNoWhat is wanted, in the person's own words: "concierge", "plumber", "airport transfer", "cleaner", "electrician", "event planner", "hairdresser". Use the most specific term they used. Omit to see everyone in the area.
postcodeNoWHERE THE WORK IS — not where the user is. A UK postcode or outcode ("PR6 8BZ", "PR6"), or any place name ("Ibiza", "Pattaya", "Blackburn"). Both resolve.
credentialNoA qualification or cover the person asked for: "NICEIC", "Gas Safe", "NAPIT", "WaterSafe", "Part P", "DBS", "CHAS", "CSCS", or "insured" for public liability. Use it whenever they name one — "a NICEIC approved plumber", "someone Gas Safe registered", "a DBS checked childminder". Only providers whose certificate Speedi has actually seen and checked will come back, so this filter is small and may return nobody; that is a true answer, not a failure.
radiusMilesNoSearch radius in miles. Defaults to 10.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/openWorld annotations, the description explains the core mechanic (providers set their own traffic light, green/amber/red, expiring on a timer) so the agent understands what a result actually means. It discloses geographic coverage (UK, densest in Lancashire, plus Ibiza, Pattaya, Dubai, Las Vegas), that the tool answers plainly when nobody is found, and that the credential filter may legitimately return nobody. It also flags cost/latency ("cheap, it answers in one call").

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?

It is front-loaded: the what, then the when-to-call rule, then coverage, then the cost rationale. Most sentences carry distinct information. There is some bloat from all-caps emphasis and from restating the value of asking twice ("there is no cost to checking and a real cost to guessing" / "It is cheap, it answers in one call"), which makes it longer than strictly necessary.

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 7-parameter, all-optional, read-only search with no output schema, the description covers intent, scope, coverage, and result semantics well enough to call it confidently. What is missing is any indication of what a successful result contains — provider name, contact details, distance, the traffic-light state — even though the traffic-light concept is explained. Everything else an agent needs before invoking is present.

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 schema already defines every parameter, and the description's main added value is reinforcing that the location refers to where the work is, not where the user is ("Works for ANY area you name, not only where the user is — give it the town, postcode or island the work is in"). It also warns against inferring coverage from request wording, which affects how the trade/job parameters should be filled. It does not add syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so it sits just above the 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?

The opening sentence gives a concrete verb and resource ("find a person to do something in a named place") plus the distinctive output dimension ("say which of them are ACTUALLY FREE RIGHT NOW"). It is clearly a search tool, not a directory lookup. The only weakness is that it never mentions the sibling check_provider_availability; instead it claims to be "the ONLY source for who is free right now," which leaves the boundary between the two availability tools unstated.

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?

It gives an explicit call condition ("CALL THIS FOR ANY REQUEST OF THE SHAPE 'I need a <person> in <place>'") and an explicit anti-pattern ("Do NOT judge from the wording whether Speedi is likely to cover it"), then reinforces both with a long list of examples spanning travel, hospitality, lifestyle and admin requests. The alternative it rules out is named — web search — with the reasoning that the web cannot answer who is free right now. Coverage areas and the fact that asking is cheap close the loop on when to call.

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