Get Untappd user profile

untappd_user_info
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch an Untappd user's profile with bio, location, total check-ins, distinct beers, badges, and stats. Omit the username to access your own account.

Instructions

Get an Untappd user's profile: bio, location, total check-ins, distinct beers, badges, and stats. Omit username for your own account. Read-only.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
viewNoResponse shape: "compact" (default) drops fields the response already carries elsewhere; "full" returns every field this server understands. compact also asks Untappd for its own slim record, dropping the embedded activity/list blocks; 'full' returns everything.
usernameNoUntappd username. Omit to use your own configured account (UNTAPPD_USERNAME).

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, and the description repeats 'Read-only' without adding much beyond that. It does clarify the behavior of omitting username (using the configured account), which is useful, but it does not disclose rate limits, auth needs, or response variability beyond what annotations and schema already cover.

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 concise and front-loaded with the resource and purpose. The field list is informative, and the 'Omit username' sentence earns its place. 'Read-only' is slightly redundant with the annotations but harmless.

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 simple read-only profile lookup with two optional parameters, the description is largely complete: it names the returned fields, explains the default-account behavior, and the schema covers parameter semantics. The absence of an output schema is mitigated by the field list, though explicit routing to sibling list-oriented tools would make it more complete.

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 both username and view parameters in detail. The description repeats the 'omit username' behavior but adds no new meaning for either parameter, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

The description clearly states the verb and resource: 'Get an Untappd user's profile', and lists concrete fields such as bio, location, total check-ins, distinct beers, badges, and stats. It does not explicitly name or contrast sibling tools like untappd_user_checkins or untappd_user_badges, so it stops short of full sibling differentiation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The only usage guidance is 'Omit username for your own account', which is a parameter-level instruction, not guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives. There is no mention of using untappd_user_checkins for check-in lists or untappd_user_badges for badge lists, which would be valuable given the sibling set.

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