List the On the Cheap sites

otc_list_sites
Read-onlyIdempotent

List all cities in the 'On the Cheap' network and their site keys. Use this to find the correct key for your target city before using other tools.

Instructions

List every city in the "on the Cheap" network with the site key used to select it. This server reads them all — every other tool takes a site argument, and there is no default, so start here when you do not already know which key covers the city the user means. Read-only.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior5/5

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

Adds 'Read-only' beyond annotations, and explains that the server reads all sites and the role of the key across tools.

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?

Two sentences, no fluff, front-loaded with purpose.

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?

Fully explains what the tool does and why it's needed, appropriate for its simplicity and annotation coverage.

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?

No parameters, baseline 4. Description adds value by specifying that output includes city names and site keys, aiding agent understanding.

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 clearly states the tool lists every city with its `site` key, distinguishing it from sibling tools that require the site key as input.

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 says to start with this tool when the site key is unknown, and explains that all other tools require it with no default.

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