slickdeals_comments

Fetch a Slickdeals deal thread's full comments using its URL or thread ID, with usernames, post text, timestamps, permalinks, and reactions.

Instructions

Get one Slickdeals deal thread's comments. Returns one Slickdeals deal thread's full comment thread: for each comment, the public username who posted it (with their forum rank/title and total post count), the comment content (as HTML and as cleaned plain text), when it was posted, a permalink, and reaction counts (like, funny, helpful, not helpful). Give either url (the exact value returned by GET /slickdeals/search or GET /slickdeals/deal) or thread_id; at least one is required. has_more indicates whether Slickdeals' own page truncated the reply list (no further pagination is currently exposed by this endpoint).

TDQS

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 full burden. It discloses detailed return fields (username, rank, post count, HTML/plain text content, timestamp, permalink, reactions) and the important pagination limitation via has_more, though it does not cover auth or rate limits.

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-loads the purpose and then explains return values and input rules. Slightly redundant in repeating 'one Slickdeals deal thread's' across the first two sentences, but generally well-structured and informative.

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?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description still fully explains the returned comment fields and the has_more truncation behavior. It also specifies the accepted identifier inputs, making it complete enough for correct invocation.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds the mutual-exclusivity/at-least-one requirement ('either url ... or thread_id; at least one is required') that is not expressed in the schema's required array, and reiterates that url must be the exact value returned by the search/deal endpoints.

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 and resource: 'Get one Slickdeals deal thread's comments.' It distinguishes itself from sibling deal/search tools by focusing on comments and naming the upstream endpoints that supply the required url.

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?

Provides the input prerequisite ('Give either url ... or thread_id; at least one is required') and identifies where a url comes from, implying the tool is used after finding a deal. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or say when not to use it.

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