eb_venue

Read-only

Fetches an Eventbrite venue by numeric ID, returning its name, address, and geographic coordinates.

Instructions

Get a venue by id (name, address, geo). Venue ids appear on expanded events and in eb_org_venues.

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.

A3.6/5.0
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 and network scope are covered. The description adds the returned field set (name, address, geo), which is genuinely useful given there is no output schema, but it discloses nothing about auth requirements, rate limits, or error behavior.

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 compact sentences with zero filler, front-loading what the tool returns before explaining where to source the id. Every clause earns its place.

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?

With no output schema, the description does supply the shape of the return (name, address, geo), and the read-only/open-world annotations carry the safety profile. It is sufficient to call the tool correctly, though a hint about the compact vs. full default would round it out.

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 the view enum fully explained in the schema itself, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description contributes nothing about parameter semantics that the schema does not already provide.

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 a venue by id') and enumerates the returned fields (name, address, geo), which is more than a tautology. It gestures at sibling context by naming eb_org_venues as a source of ids, but does not sharply distinguish itself from eb_venue_events or eb_org_venues as a selection choice.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The note that 'Venue ids appear on expanded events and in eb_org_venues' usefully tells the agent where to obtain the required input. However, there is no guidance on when to prefer this tool over eb_venue_events or eb_org_venues, and no stated preconditions or exclusions.

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