Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`limite`	No	Máximo de resultados (padrão: 50)
`numero`	No	Número exato da licitação (ex: 19/2018)
`objeto`	No	Texto no objeto da licitação

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`provenance`	Yes	Bloco de proveniência do portfólio (projeção concise): source, source_url, data_vintage, retrieved_at (horário de Brasília), citation, license, revision e retrieval; field_sources só quando a resposta funde recortes, derived e derivation_note só nos modos de estatísticas. retrieval é o diagnóstico da ida à origem nesta chamada — requisições, tentativas com retentativas, anomalias superadas (timeout, network, rate_limited, http_5xx, http_4xx, malformed_body) e unstable (true quando algo precisou ser repetido) —, ou null quando não foi medido. Lista de blocos quando a chamada consulta várias fontes (índice do search).
`attribution`	Yes	URLs de origem dos dados (as source_url distintas dos blocos de proveniência, incluindo as de field_sources), para linkar a citação

A4.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive, so safety is covered. The description adds real context beyond that: it returns raw API records, the limit bounds (default 50, max 500), and the hard error when no filter is supplied. It does not discuss pagination, but the output schema covers the return shape.

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?

Three tight sentences with zero waste; the search modes are front-loaded, followed by the return shape, the constraint, and the sibling pointer.

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 a rich output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies the remaining agent-relevant facts: the required-filter rule, limit bounds, return shape, and where to go for contracts. Nothing needed 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.

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning the schema omits: it clarifies that numero is an exact match and that at least one of numero/objeto is required (the schema marks neither as required), which is genuinely useful constraint information.

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 (busca) and resource (licitações do Senado), plus the two search modes (exact number or object text). It distinguishes itself from the sibling senado_contratos by naming it as the tool for resulting contracts.

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 the precondition (at least numero or objeto, otherwise error) and names the alternative senado_contratos for the resulting contract, with the condition that selects it. Nothing is left to inference.

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