setlist_get_user_attended

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve the concerts a setlist.fm user has marked as attended, with pagination, to review their concert history.

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.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pNoResult page number (defaults to 1)
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 Setlist.fm's payload untouched. 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.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), and the description adds genuinely non-obvious context: pagination is controlled by `p`, and results must be presented with followable link attribution per setlist.fm API terms, with a fallback URL when `url` is missing. That legal/presentation constraint is not derivable from structured fields and is the strongest part of the definition.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence, followed by pagination mechanics and then the attribution requirement. The attribution guidance is somewhat verbose but each clause carries a concrete instruction, so little is wasted.

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, single-required-param tool with no output schema, the description covers scope, pagination, and how to handle the returned `url` (including the no-url case). It omits result ordering and the practical effect of `view` on output, but those are largely covered by the schema and are minor 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 `p`, `view`, and `userId` in detail, including the compact/full distinction. The description only restates pagination-via-`p`, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (get) and resource (concerts a setlist.fm user has marked as attended), which cleanly separates it from siblings such as setlist_get_user_edited and setlist_get_user. An agent can identify exactly what it returns without opening the schema.

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 implies usage context (fetching a user's attended concerts, paginated with `p`) and gives attribution handling rules, but never states when to prefer it over alternatives like setlist_get_user_edited, setlist_resolve_concerts, or setlist_mark_attended. Usage is inferred rather than explicit.

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