setlist_get_user_edited

Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch setlists created or edited by a setlist.fm user, with pagination. Use the returned URL for clickable attribution to setlist.fm.

Instructions

Get the setlists a setlist.fm user has created or edited. 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.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the attribution requirement and pagination behavior, but does not mention rate limits or response shape beyond the `view` parameter, which the schema handles.

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?

Three tight sentences front-loaded with the core operation, then pagination, then attribution. No wasted words. The attribution instruction is a necessary interface policy rather than filler.

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 retrieval tool with no output schema, the description covers the operation, pagination, and output-link attribution well. It could note authentication requirements (if any) and the default return shape, but the annotations and schema cover most operational details.

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 all three parameters (userId, p, view) are already documented in the schema. The description adds only the meaning of `p` and re-states the same information, providing no additional parameter semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 and resource ('Get the setlists a user has created or edited'), scoping it clearly to the user-edited subset of setlists. This distinguishes it from setlist_get_user (user profile) and setlist_get_user_attended (attendance history) without needing 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?

Mentions pagination via `p` and how to cite results, implying when to page through data, but never states when to use this over setlist_get_user_attended or other siblings. Usage context is implied rather than explicit.

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