eb_event_questions

Read-only

List registration questions for an event, or fetch Eventbrite's standard question bank with canned=true.

Instructions

List the registration questions an event asks its buyers. Set canned=true for Eventbrite's standard question bank instead of the event's custom ones.

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.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already signals a safe read operation, and the description's 'List' verb agrees. It adds the useful distinction between custom and canned question banks, but it does not disclose output format or any other behavioral details; with annotation coverage, a 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description is two purposeful sentences, front-loading the action and resource, then giving the key behavioral toggle. There is no filler or repeated information from the schema.

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?

For a simple read-only list tool, the description plus rich schema (especially the detailed view parameter covering response shape) gives an agent everything needed to select and invoke it correctly. No output schema is required for this level of complexity.

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 the schema already documents event_id, view, and canned. The description's canned guidance almost exactly repeats the schema's parameter description, adding no new semantic meaning beyond the structured fields.

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 opens with the verb 'List' and a specific resource ('registration questions an event asks its buyers'), which clearly identifies the operation and object. It also distinguishes the two modes (custom vs canned standard bank), making it easy to separate from the other eb_* sibling tools.

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 gives a clear operational instruction for the canned parameter: set canned=true when the standard question bank is needed instead of the event's custom questions. It does not explicitly name alternative sibling tools or list when-not-to-use exclusions, so it falls just short of a 5.

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