setlist_get_user_attended

Read-only

Retrieve the concerts a setlist.fm user has attended. Returns paginated results with clickable setlist.fm source links for attribution.

Instructions

Get the concerts a setlist.fm user has marked as attended. Paginated via p. Results include a setlist.fm url; when you present this data, cite it as a clickable source link to setlist.fm (their API terms require followable attribution — no nofollow). If a result has no url, link to https://www.setlist.fm instead.

No field projection: this server has no verified record of which Setlist.fm fields matter, and inventing one would risk dropping a field a caller needs.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already signals this is a safe read operation. The description adds value beyond the annotation by disclosing the expected output data (results include a setlist.fm URL) and the required attribution behavior, including the nofollow policy and fallback URL. This is useful behavioral context not present in the schema or annotations.

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?

Three sentences with no wasted words: the first states the core purpose, the second gives pagination and URL citation guidance, and the third covers the fallback case. The most important operational instruction is front-loaded.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple read-only tool with three fully documented parameters, the description covers everything an agent needs: what it returns, how pagination works, and how to present the results correctly. The read-only annotation covers safety, and the schema covers parameter details, leaving no critical gaps.

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 three parameters. The description reinforces that 'p' controls pagination but adds no new field-level semantics beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema carries the full parameter documentation burden.

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 specific verb and resource: 'Get the concerts a setlist.fm user has marked as attended.' This precisely distinguishes the tool from siblings like setlist_get_user_edited and setlist_mark_attended without needing to inspect schemas.

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 provides clear operational context: it explains pagination via the 'p' parameter and gives explicit presentation instructions for returned URLs. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when not to use it, but the attended-vs-edited distinction is strongly implied by the tool name and first sentence.

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