Get game details

get_game

Read-only

Retrieve complete Steam store details for a game by appid or title: price, genres, platforms, release date, DLC, requirements, and more. Handles regional availability and returns errors when no match exists.

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 two different reasons: it may not exist, or it may not be sold in the given country. The error names the country and both causes — retry with another country before concluding the game doesn't exist. No API key required.

Input Schema

TableJSON 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

TableJSON 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.

A4.9/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as readOnly, and the description adds substantial non-obvious behavior: both lookup forms error rather than return empty, appid failures split into two distinct causes, unrecognized language codes silently return English/empty tags, and the DLC list is capped at 50 with dlc_total as the real count. This goes well beyond what annotations alone convey.

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?

The description is a dense single paragraph, but every clause carries actionable information and it is front-loaded with the primary purpose. It could be slightly better organized with separate sentences for the error and language caveats, but there is no filler or repetition.

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 an output schema present, the description does not need to explain return fields, and it covers the full complexity of 4 optional parameters, error cases, regional pricing, language fallback, and DLC behavior. No important decision-relevant information for correctly invoking the tool is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds high-value semantics for every parameter: name is 'resolved to the closest store match,' appid must come from search_games, country typo returns US prices rather than an error, and language requires Steam's own names with concrete examples and the empty-tags pitfall. This transforms the parameters from raw schema into usable guidance.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource ('Get full store details for one game') and enumerates the exact fields returned, making the tool's purpose unmistakable. It also distinguishes itself from siblings by naming search_games as the source of appids and get_items as the place to resolve DLC appids to names and 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?

Explicitly states both ways to identify a game (appid from search_games or name), which maps directly to the two alternative tool flows. It also gives concrete when-not/what-to-do guidance: retry with another country before concluding the game doesn't exist, and pass DLC appids to get_items for names/prices.

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