gyg_get_tour

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a GetYourGuide tour or activity record by numeric ID, optionally including image URLs when full view is requested.

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 strips image URLs and keeps every other field; "full" returns GetYourGuide's whole record, image URLs included.
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.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint, so safety and repeatability are covered. The only behavioral trait the description adds is that image URLs are stripped by default and view:'full' retains them, but that same fact is already spelled out in the view parameter's schema description, so the marginal value is small. No auth, rate-limit, or error behavior is disclosed.

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 tight sentences with no waste; the what/when and the default-behavior caveat are both front-loaded and easy to scan.

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 could say a bit more about the returned record's shape beyond the image-URL note, and it says nothing about invalid-ID or error behavior. Still, for a single-record read whose annotations and schema are rich and whose parameters are fully documented, an agent has enough to call 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%: the schema already documents view (compact vs full, with the image-URL nuance), tourId, currency and language defaults. The description adds nothing beyond the schema's own text, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 the full GetYourGuide record for one tour/activity') and pins the lookup key to a numeric ID, which conceptually separates it from the listing/search siblings. It never names a sibling (e.g. gyg_get_tour_options or gyg_get_tour_reviews) or explicitly excludes them, so this is clear but not sibling-differentiating.

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 'by its numeric ID' phrasing implies the usage context (single-record lookup once an ID is known from a search/list call), but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative among the many siblings such as gyg_get_tour_options or gyg_get_tour_availability. Adequate implied guidance only.

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