Compare OneHome listings side-by-side

onehome_compare_properties
Read-onlyIdempotent

Compare two or more OneHome property listings side-by-side by fetching their full records and aligning key facts. Handles per-listing errors independently, so a single invalid target won't break the comparison.

Instructions

Fetch 2 or more OneHome listings and align their facts side-by-side. Each target may supply listing_id (preferred) or url (a portal URL). Returns the full per-property record (with extracted_features populated) per row. Per-target errors are captured per-row — one bad target will not fail the whole call. Calls are concurrent. The raw description is omitted from each row by default (include_description: true to keep it). The redundant summary table is also opt-in via include_summary: true — by default only rows[] is returned, which already carries every fact.

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/avatar URLs from the response; "full" returns OneHome's payload untouched. No field projection: this server has no verified record of which OneHome fields matter, and inventing one would risk dropping a field a caller needs.
targetsYes
group_idNo
include_summaryNoInclude the pivoted `summary` table (one row per compared field, one column per listing). Defaults to `false` because `rows[].property.*` already carries everything — the summary is roughly 30% of the response weight and only useful for human-readable rendering.
include_descriptionNoInclude the raw `description` (PublicRemarks) on each row. Defaults to `false`.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds valuable behavioral details: concurrency, per-target error isolation ('one bad target will not fail the whole call'), default omission of description and summary, and the existence of opt-in flags. These are not in the annotations and meaningfully shape agent expectations.

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 dense but efficient, front-loading the core purpose and then adding behavioral and parameter nuances. It avoids fluff and each sentence earns its place, though it is longer than strictly necessary.

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?

Given no output schema, the description does a solid job describing return shape (per-property record with extracted_features, rows vs summary) and error handling. Missing details include group_id semantics and the exact effect of the view parameter beyond schema, but the overall picture is comprehensive for a tool of this complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 60%, so the description compensates. It explains that listing_id is preferred over url, clarifies include_description and include_summary defaults, and notes that rows[] carries every fact. However, group_id and view are not explained in the description (view has schema coverage, but group_id is bare), leaving a minor gap.

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 opens with a clear, specific verb+resource: 'Fetch 2 or more OneHome listings and align their facts side-by-side.' This distinguishes it from single-listing tools like onehome_get_property and search tools, leaving no ambiguity about its function.

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 description provides clear context on input types (listing_id preferred, url fallback) and behavior (concurrent, per-target errors), but does not explicitly state when to choose this over siblings (e.g., 'use get_property for a single listing') or when not to use it. The purpose is implied but not contrasted with alternatives.

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