gyg_get_tour

Read-only

Fetch a GetYourGuide tour record by numeric ID. Choose compact for essential details (title, price, duration, rating, cancellation) or full to include all fields and image URLs.

Instructions

Get the full GetYourGuide record for one tour/activity by its numeric ID. Image URLs are stripped by default; pass view:"full" to keep them.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
viewNoResponse shape: "compact" (default) drops fields the response already carries elsewhere; "full" returns every field this server understands. compact returns the slim tour projection (id, title, price, duration, rating, cancellation) and strips image URLs; "full" returns GetYourGuide's whole records.
tourIdYesNumeric GetYourGuide tour ID (e.g. 23776).
currencyNoCurrency for prices, ISO 4217 (e.g. USD, EUR). Defaults to GYG_CURRENCY when set.
languageNoContent language (e.g. en, de). Defaults to GYG_LANGUAGE when set.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description discloses a key behavioral trait: 'Image URLs are stripped by default; pass view:"full" to keep them.' This goes beyond the readOnlyHint annotation by explaining a default transformation. It also clarifies the difference between compact and full response shapes, which is useful behavioral context. However, it doesn't mention rate limits or other potential side effects, but for a read-only tool with annotations, this is adequate.

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 with no waste. The core purpose is front-loaded, and the critical behavioral note about image URLs is included efficiently. Every word 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?

For a read-only single-record fetch with 100% schema coverage and a readOnlyHint annotation, the description is nearly complete. It explains the default behavior (image stripping) and the view parameter's role. It doesn't describe the return format in detail, but the schema's view parameter description covers that. The only minor gap is not explicitly stating that this is the tool to use when you have a specific ID, but that's implied by the name and description.

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 all four parameters. The description adds the crucial detail about image URL stripping and the view parameter's effect, which is not fully captured in the schema's enum description. However, the description doesn't add much beyond that; the schema already explains currency, language, and tourId. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool's function: 'Get the full GetYourGuide record for one tour/activity by its numeric ID.' It specifies the resource (tour/activity), the action (get full record), and the identifier (numeric ID). It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like gyg_search_tours by focusing on a single tour by ID rather than searching.

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?

The description implies when to use this tool: when you have a numeric tour ID and need the full record. It doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but the context of siblings (search, options, availability, reviews) makes the use case clear. The view parameter guidance adds usage context.

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