eb_event_questions

Read-only

List the registration questions an event asks buyers; set canned=true to fetch Eventbrite's standard question bank instead of custom questions.

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

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.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety and reach profile is covered structurally. The description adds only the canned-vs-custom distinction; it says nothing about pagination, ordering, or what a listing returns. Adequate but thin given the lower bar set by annotations.

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, zero filler, and the core purpose is front-loaded ahead of the conditional parameter tip. Every clause carries information an agent can act on.

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 with full schema coverage, annotations covering safety, and no output schema, the description supplies what an agent needs to call it. Pagination and response-shape behavior are only partly implied via the 'view' parameter, leaving a small gap.

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 baseline is 3. The description's canned guidance largely restates the schema's own wording ('Fetch the standard question bank instead of the event's custom questions'), and the rich 'view' semantics live entirely in the schema. It adds no syntax or format detail beyond structured data.

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 and resource: 'List the registration questions an event asks its buyers.' No sibling tool overlaps with registration questions, so the agent can disambiguate immediately. The second sentence further sharpens scope by distinguishing the event's custom questions from Eventbrite's standard bank.

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?

Explicitly tells the agent when to flip behavior: 'Set canned=true for Eventbrite's standard question bank instead of the event's custom ones.' That is actionable conditional guidance. It stops short of naming alternative tools or stating exclusions, but none are needed given the narrow resource.

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