eb_user

Read-only

Fetch public Eventbrite user profiles by ID. Get organizer or attendee details for any public user without requiring authentication.

Instructions

Get a public user profile by id. Use eb_me for the authenticated user (that call also returns private fields like emails).

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.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds behavioral context by labeling the data as public and contrasting it with the authenticated/private eb_me call. This signals that no special auth is needed for eb_user. It does not cover rate limits/errors, but for a simple read-only profile lookup the disclosure is sufficient.

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 concise sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the parenthetical about eb_me earns its place by routing the agent to the correct alternative.

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 two-parameter read-only tool with no output schema, the description plus schema covers the entire callable surface: required user_id, view behavior, and the alternative for authenticated/private data. Nothing essential is missing for an agent to select and invoke it correctly.

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%: both user_id and view include descriptions, and view has detailed compact/full semantics. The description itself adds no parameter-level detail, so it stays at the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 names a specific verb and resource: 'Get a public user profile by id.' It also distinguishes this tool from eb_me by noting that eb_me targets the authenticated user and returns private fields, making the purpose unambiguous against its siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly gives the selection rule: use eb_user for public profiles by id, and use eb_me for the authenticated user (with private fields). This is direct when-to-use versus alternative guidance.

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