eb_event_description

Read-only

Fetch an Eventbrite event's full HTML description using its numeric event ID. Returns compact or full response shapes for embedding or display.

Instructions

Get an event's full HTML description.

Input 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.
event_idYesNumeric event id

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is already covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavioral fact: the return value is 'HTML', not plain text, so the agent should expect markup. It says nothing about sanitization, size limits, or what happens when the description is empty.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler. It is arguably terse given the tool has a view parameter affecting response shape, but nothing is wasted or buried.

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?

A simple read tool with full schema coverage and annotations covering safety, and no output schema is needed since the description names the return value. The remaining gap is minor: no note on empty descriptions or HTML sanitization.

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%; event_id and the compact/full view enum are fully documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level detail, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Get an event's full HTML description.' The word 'description' (vs 'details' / 'event') signals this returns one field rather than a full event object, which is enough to separate it from eb_event and eb_event_details. It stops short of naming those siblings explicitly, so the differentiation is implied rather than stated.

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 guidance on when to call this versus eb_event_details, eb_event, or eb_event_attendees. There is no mention of prerequisites (auth, event ownership) or when the HTML description is the right payload over the structured event record.

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