eb_event_attendees

Read-only

Retrieve attendee lists for a specific event, filter by attendance status, and use changed_since to fetch only updated records.

Instructions

List a single event's attendees (organizer-side; requires access to that event). Use changed_since to poll incrementally instead of re-reading the whole list.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
viewNoResponse shape: "compact" (default) drops fields the response already carries elsewhere; "full" returns every field this server understands. compact strips image/avatar URLs from the response; "full" returns Eventbrite's payload untouched. No field projection on this tool: this server has no verified record of which Eventbrite fields matter here, and inventing one would risk dropping a field a caller needs.
statusNo
event_idYesNumeric event id
continuationNoPagination continuation token from a previous response
changed_sinceNoISO 8601 UTC timestamp — only attendees changed since then

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already establishes this is a read operation, so the bar is lower. The description adds meaningful context beyond that: it is organizer-side, requires event access, and signals that repeated full reads are discouraged in favor of changed_since-based incremental polling. These are useful behavioral traits not present in the annotations or schema.

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 carry the full message: the first defines the operation and scope, the second gives the key usage guidance on incremental polling. There is no redundant wording or restating of schema fields.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a read-only list tool, the description is largely sufficient: it names the resource, the single-event scope, the access requirement, and the preferred polling approach. With no output schema, it could say a bit more about the response shape, and status filtering is left entirely to the schema, so it is not perfect.

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 high (80%), so the schema already documents most parameters. The description enriches changed_since by explaining its polling purpose, and it ties event access to event_id indirectly, but it does not add much for view, status, or continuation beyond what the schema provides.

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 states a specific action ('List'), a clear resource ('a single event's attendees'), and adds the organizer-side scope. This differentiates it from sibling tools like eb_event_attendee (singular) and eb_org_attendees (organization-wide) without needing to inspect schemas.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It explicitly gives the incremental polling guidance: 'Use changed_since to poll incrementally instead of re-reading the whole list.' It also notes the access prerequisite. It does not explicitly name alternative sibling tools or say when not to use it, but the context is clear enough for an agent to select it correctly.

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