eb_order

Read-only

Fetch a single Eventbrite order by its order id to view the buyer-side record behind a ticket. Use order ids returned by order listing results.

Instructions

Get a single order by id (the buyer-side record behind a ticket). Order ids appear in eb_my_orders / eb_event_orders results.

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.
expandNoComma-separated expansions, e.g. 'attendees,event'
order_idYesNumeric order id

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 safety is covered and the bar is lower. The description adds useful semantics (order = buyer-side record behind a ticket) but says nothing about permissions, pagination, or response shape; the rich view/expand behavior lives in the schema, not the description.

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 short sentences, zero waste, and the core purpose is front-loaded ahead of the provenance hint. Nothing redundant or padded.

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 simple single-resource read with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description supplies what an agent needs: what it fetches and where the id comes from. A brief note on what the response contains would close the only remaining gap, but it is minor.

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%, with 'view' and 'expand' documented in detail and order_id labeled 'Numeric order id', so the schema carries the burden. The description adds no syntax or format detail for any parameter beyond 'by id', so baseline 3 applies.

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 (get) and resource (a single order) and immediately clarifies what an order is ('the buyer-side record behind a ticket'), which disambiguates it from ticket-oriented siblings. The scope word 'single' paired with the reference to eb_my_orders/eb_event_orders makes clear this is the detail-fetch counterpart to those list 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 tells the agent the prerequisite for invocation: order ids 'appear in eb_my_orders / eb_event_orders results', which routes the agent to the right tools for obtaining the id. It gives no explicit when-not or alternative for order retrieval, but the context is concrete enough to invoke correctly.

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