get_informa_event_speakers

Fetch structured speaker records from an Informa Connect event page using JSON-LD or Redux state. Supports merging data sources and fallback HTML parsing.

Instructions

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. The description states it fetches and returns speaker records but does not mention any side effects, rate limits, authentication needs, or error conditions. Some behavioral hints are in parameter descriptions (e.g., forceHtmlFallback) but not in the main description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, well-structured with parenthetical detail. No superfluous words, directly conveys the tool's function.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite 7 parameters and no output schema, the description does not explain the return format, pagination, or how parameters affect output. It lacks completeness for an effective agent invocation.

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 baseline is 3. The description does not add any extra meaning beyond what the parameter descriptions provide; it only states the overall purpose.

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?

Description explicitly states the tool fetches an individual event page and returns only structured speaker records, specifying sources (JSON-LD performer + Redux speakers). This clearly distinguishes it from the sibling tool 'get_informa_events_with_details', which likely returns broader event details.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling. The description implies it's for speaker data but does not state when not to use it or provide alternatives.

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