untappd_venue_info
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve complete venue details by Untappd venue ID, including category, address, contact, rating, total check-ins, and optional top beers and recent activity.

Instructions

Get full detail for a venue by its Untappd venue id: category, address, contact, rating, total check-ins, and — on view:"full" — top beers and recent activity. Get an id from untappd_search_venue. Read-only.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
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 confirms 'Read-only' and adds return-content context (full view includes top beers and recent activity), but does not disclose any additional behavior such as rate limits or auth requirements. No contradiction with annotations.

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 short, front-loaded with the main purpose, and avoids unnecessary detail. The final 'Read-only' is redundant with annotations, but it is brief and reinforces safety. Overall, it is well-structured and economical.

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?

With no output schema, the description usefully enumerates the main returned data categories and explains the difference between compact and full views. It also tells the agent how to obtain the required venue_id. Minor details like pagination or response limits are absent, but they are not essential for this read-only lookup tool.

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% and both parameters are well documented in the input schema, especially the 'view' enum. The description repeats the idea of 'full' view but adds no meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Get full detail for a venue by its Untappd venue id', and enumerates the returned fields. It also distinguishes itself from untappd_search_venue by explaining where to obtain the id, and from untappd_venue_by_foursquare by specifying the id type.

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 gives clear context: this tool retrieves venue details and should be used after obtaining an id from untappd_search_venue. It does not explicitly list exclusions relative to siblings like untappd_venue_menu or untappd_venue_activity, but the purpose is specific enough that an agent can infer when to use it.

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