bbb_business_more_info

Fetch a Better Business Bureau business's full per-factor rating reasons and service-area list from its profile URL, returning richer details than generic boilerplate.

Instructions

Get a Better Business Bureau business's full rating reasons and service area. Returns a business's full per-factor "Reasons for Rating" list and full service-area list. The bbb-business endpoint's own rating_reasons field typically holds only one generic boilerplate bullet regardless of actual rating; this endpoint returns the richer, business-specific list instead. Service area is business-conditional -- some businesses render no service-area section at all, in which case service_areas is empty.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden, and it does disclose real behavioral traits: the upstream rating_reasons field is generic boilerplate regardless of rating, and service_areas is empty for businesses with no service-area section. It omits read-only/auth characteristics, which are implied by the retrieval framing.

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 primary value (rating reasons and service area), then justified with the boilerplate contrast and the conditional service-area note. Every sentence earns its place, though it is slightly dense.

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, so the description must describe returns, and it does: per-factor Reasons for Rating list plus the service-area list, with an explicit empty case. Complete enough for an agent to call and interpret results correctly.

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%, so the url parameter and its source (bbb-search result url or hq_profile_url, including /addressId/ acceptance) are already documented. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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+resource ('Get a BBB business's full rating reasons and service area') and immediately names the contrast with the sibling bbb-business endpoint's rating_reasons field. An agent can tell exactly what distinct data this returns versus other bbb_business tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explains the condition that selects this tool: use it when you need the richer, business-specific rating reasons that the standard bbb-business endpoint does not provide. No explicit 'do not use when...' or named alternative tool, but the context is clear.

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