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.

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint and idempotentHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds essentially nothing beyond the annotations: no note on pagination defaults, result volume, rate limits, or what a missing/invalid locationId yields, so it earns only the low end of the annotated bar.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler, naming the verb, the resource and the scoping dimension. Nothing to trim.

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 tool is a simple read with full annotation and schema coverage and no output schema, so the description need not explain return values. However, given six parameters and two near-identical siblings in the service, the absence of routing guidance leaves a real gap for correct 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%, including a detailed enum explanation for 'view' and defaults for limit/offset/currency/language, so the schema carries the full parameter burden. The description adds no parameter meaning at all, which is the baseline 3 case.

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 (List) plus resource (tours) plus scope (one GetYourGuide location, city/POI/region), which an agent can act on immediately. It stops short of naming the neighbouring gyg_list_category_tours / gyg_search_tours, so the sibling distinction is only implied by the word 'location'.

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?

There is no when-to-use / when-not-to-use guidance and no alternative named, even though gyg_list_category_tours and gyg_search_tours overlap heavily in intent. The only usable signal is the required locationId, which the schema already supplies.

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