gyg_list_location_tours

Read-only

Get tours for a GetYourGuide location by numeric ID. Use currency, language, limit, and offset to retrieve details on price, duration, rating, and cancellation.

Instructions

List tours available at one GetYourGuide location (city, POI, or region).

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.
locationIdYesNumeric location ID.

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already declares this is a safe read operation, so the description doesn't need to repeat that. The description adds the scoping detail (city, POI, or region) and the view parameter's effect on response shape is documented in the schema. However, the description itself doesn't disclose behavioral traits like pagination behavior or default response shape beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the core action ('List tours available at one GetYourGuide location') and adds the parenthetical scope clarification. Zero wasted words.

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 list tool with 100% schema coverage and no output schema, the description plus schema covers what an agent needs: the resource, the scope, and all parameter semantics. The only minor gap is that the description doesn't mention the default view or pagination behavior, but the schema covers those. The sibling list provides enough context for tool selection.

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 6 parameters thoroughly. The description adds minimal parameter-level meaning beyond the schema, but the schema itself is rich (view enum with detailed explanation, limit/offset ranges, currency/language defaults). 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 states a specific verb ('List'), a specific resource ('tours'), and a clear scope ('at one GetYourGuide location (city, POI, or region)'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like gyg_search_tours (search vs list) and gyg_list_category_tours (category vs location) by naming the resource and scope explicitly.

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 need tours at a specific location, and the sibling list (gyg_search_tours, gyg_list_category_tours) provides context for alternatives. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use it or name a specific alternative, so it falls just short of a 5.

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