producthunt_alternatives

Find alternatives to a Product Hunt product by slug, returning ratings, badges, scores, tags, and related discussions with sorting and pagination.

Instructions

Retrieve Product Hunt product alternatives. Lists alternatives to a Product Hunt product, looked up by its slug in id. first sets the page size (default 10), order defaults to most_relevant, and tags takes comma-separated tag slugs. Returns alternative items with ratings, badges and scores, alternative tags with counts, and related discussions. Use end_cursor as cursor for the next page.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose the return contents (alternative items with ratings, badges and scores; tags with counts; related discussions) and pagination mechanics (use `end_cursor` as `cursor`), which is useful. However, it omits auth requirements, rate limits, and error/empty-result behavior.

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 purpose, then parameters, return values, and pagination in a tight sequence. Every sentence contributes, though it is slightly dense and could trim some redundant phrasing ('Retrieve ... Lists').

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?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description compensates well by naming the lookup key, parameter defaults, return contents, and pagination. It stops short of covering auth/error behavior, but for a read-only retrieval tool it is largely complete.

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% and schema descriptions are terse (e.g., 'Page size', 'Sort order'). The description adds value beyond the schema by giving defaults (`first` default 10, `order` defaults to `most_relevant`), clarifying `id` is a slug, and describing `tags` as comma-separated tag slugs plus how to paginate with `cursor`.

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 verb (Retrieve/Lists) and resource (Product Hunt product alternatives), and clarifies the lookup key is the product slug in `id`. It is distinguishable from siblings like producthunt_product or producthunt_category_products, though it does not explicitly name or contrast them.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: the agent can infer you call this when you want alternatives to a given Product Hunt product. There is no explicit when-to-use vs when-not guidance, no prerequisites, and no comparison to sibling tools such as producthunt_product.

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