Get game details

get_game

Read-only

Retrieves full Steam store details for a game by appid or title, including price, discount, genres, platforms, release date, developers, Metacritic score, age rating, DLC, PC requirements, and highlighted achievements.

Instructions

Get full store details for one game: description, price/discount, genres, platforms, release date, developers/publishers, Metacritic, age rating, DLC (the dlc appid list is capped at 50 — read dlc_total for the real count, and pass the appids to get_items for names and prices), PC requirements and a small highlighted-achievements sample (achievements_highlighted). Identify the game by appid (from search_games) OR by name — a title is resolved to the closest store match. Both forms error rather than returning an empty result when nothing matches, and an appid can fail for different reasons: it may not exist or have been removed from the store, or it may not be sold in the given country. The error names the country and these causes — retry with another country before concluding the game is gone. No API key required.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`name`	No	Game title to look up instead of an appid — resolved to the closest store match. Provide appid OR name; appid wins if both are given.
`appid`	No	Steam appid (from search_games). Provide appid OR name.
`country`	No	Country (cc) for prices/currency and regional availability; overrides STEAM_COUNTRY for this call. Must be a real Steam store region — the two-letter shape is all that's checked here, and Steam answers an unrecognized code with US prices rather than an error, so a typo returns plausible numbers for the wrong country.
`language`	No	Store language for the text fields. Use Steam's own language NAME — english, russian, schinese/tchinese — not an ISO code like en/ru/zh. An unrecognized value is never an error: text comes back in English and any `tags` list comes back EMPTY, which reads as 'this game has no tags' rather than as a bad language. (Filtering BY tags is the one loud case — it fails outright.) Overrides STEAM_LANGUAGE for this call. This is the content language only — prices and regional availability follow `country`.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`dlc`	Yes	Appids of this game's DLC, capped — a DLC-heavy game can list hundreds, which would dwarf every other field. Compare against dlc_total, and pass the appids to get_items for their names and prices.
`name`	No
`type`	Yes
`appid`	No
`demos`	Yes
`price`	Yes
`genres`	Yes
`is_free`	Yes
`website`	Yes
`base_game`	Yes
`dlc_total`	Yes	How many DLC this game has in total, before the `dlc` cap.
`platforms`	Yes
`store_url`	Yes
`categories`	Yes
`developers`	Yes
`drm_notice`	Yes
`metacritic`	Yes
`publishers`	Yes
`coming_soon`	Yes
`header_image`	Yes
`release_date`	Yes
`required_age`	Yes
`account_notice`	Yes
`metacritic_url`	Yes
`recommendations`	Yes
`short_description`	Yes
`achievements_total`	Yes
`controller_support`	Yes
`content_descriptors`	Yes
`pc_requirements_min`	Yes
`supported_languages`	Yes
`achievements_highlighted`	Yes	A small keyless sample of named achievements Steam highlights for this game, not the full list — for every achievement with rarity and a hidden flag, use get_game_achievements instead.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, and the description adds substantial context on top: both identifier forms error instead of returning empty, and appid failures have three distinct causes (nonexistent, delisted, not sold in `country`). The DLC list being silently capped at 50 with `dlc_total` carrying the true count is a valuable disclosure. It stops short of describing pagination or response size, so not a full 5.

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 correctly: the resource and returned fields come first, edge-case behavior after. It is a single dense paragraph with nested parentheticals, and the DLC aside plus achievement-sample note make it heavier than strictly necessary, but every clause carries actionable information.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and the description still covers the things structured fields cannot: identifier resolution, failure modes and their causes, the DLC truncation trap, and confirmation that no API key is needed. For a four-parameter read tool with regional quirks, nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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 schema already documents appid/name precedence, country formatting pitfalls, and language-name quirks — the description largely reinforces rather than extends that. Its one genuine addition is the error semantics attached to `appid` (missing vs. delisted vs. unavailable in `country`), which helps an agent interpret a failure. With the schema doing the heavy lifting, baseline 3 is right.

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?

Opens with a specific verb and resource ("Get full store details for one game") and then enumerates exactly what comes back — price/discount, genres, platforms, Metacritic, DLC, requirements, achievement sample. It separates itself from siblings by naming search_games as the appid source and get_items as the tool for DLC names/prices.

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 explicit routing: use an appid from search_games, or a title, and hand DLC appids to get_items for names and prices. It also gives a concrete recovery path — retry with another `country` before concluding the game is gone — which is exactly the when-to-do-what guidance an agent needs.

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