resy_search_venues

Read-only

Search Resy for restaurants that have availability on a chosen date and party size, returning venues and bookable slot tokens. Use optional location, radius, or keyword filters to narrow results.

Instructions

Search Resy for restaurants with availability. Returns venues including any bookable slot tokens for the requested date + party size. Defaults to NYC geo if lat/lng omitted.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latNoLatitude (default 40.7128 NYC)
lngNoLongitude (default -73.9876 NYC)
dateYesDesired date YYYY-MM-DD
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 Resy's payload untouched. No field projection: this server has no verified record of which Resy fields matter, and inventing one would risk dropping a field a caller needs.
limitNoMax venues (default 20)
queryNoVenue name or keyword
party_sizeYesNumber of guests
radius_metersNoSearch radius in meters (default 16100)

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real value by disclosing the return payload (venues + bookable slot tokens) and the geo default, but says nothing about pagination, result caps, rate limits, or auth needs, and there is no output schema to fill that gap.

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, front-loaded with the core purpose and followed by the return/geo behavior. No filler or redundancy.

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 an 8-parameter search tool with no output schema and full schema param coverage, the description is close to complete: it names the tool's purpose, return content, and default geo. It could cross-reference resy_book/find_slots for using the returned slot tokens, which is the only notable omission.

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 baseline is 3. The description echoes the lat/lng NYC default and implies date+party_size drive slot eligibility, but adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema already states.

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+resource (search venues) and scope (restaurants with availability), and clarifies that results carry bookable slot tokens for the given date+party_size. This implicitly distinguishes it from resy_get_venue (single venue) and resy_find_slots, though it never names a sibling.

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?

Provides one useful usage detail (defaults to NYC geo when lat/lng omitted) but never states when to choose this over resy_find_slots or resy_get_venue, nor any preconditions or exclusions. Usage must be inferred from the mention of availability and slot tokens.

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