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.
limitNoMaximum number of items to return (1-500).
offsetNoNumber of items to skip (0-based).
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.
categoryIdYesNumeric category ID (from gyg_list_categories).

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the category scoping constraint but no further behavioral details such as pagination behavior or response shape, which are left to the schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no redundant wording, making it efficient. However, it is very terse and does not include any structured guidance beyond the core purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The schema carries detailed parameter information, including categoryId sourcing from gyg_list_categories. Yet the description lacks contextual guidance about output characteristics and does not mention sibling listing tools, leaving some gaps for an agent deciding how to invoke it.

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 all six parameters are documented in the input schema. The description itself adds no parameter-level semantics beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('List tours') with a clear scope ('in one GetYourGuide category'). It is unambiguous about what the tool does, though it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like gyg_list_location_tours or gyg_search_tours.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. An agent cannot tell from the description whether to choose this over gyg_list_location_tours or gyg_search_tours for a given query.

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