Get my saved (favorited) Zillow homes

zillow_get_saved_homes
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve all saved or favorited homes from your Zillow account, including address, price, Zestimate, and status, across all collections.

Instructions

The signed-in user's saved (favorited) homes on zillow.com, flattened across all of the user's collections. Returns address, price, Zestimate, status, and when each home was saved. Pass an optional session_id (from zillow_register_session) to target a specific signed-in account; defaults to the active session. Requires the user to be signed in. Read-only; safe to call repeatedly.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint. Description adds 'flattened across all collections', 'requires sign-in', and 'safe to call repeatedly', providing behavioral context beyond 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?

Two sentences with no wasted words. First sentence states purpose, second provides details. Ideal length and structure.

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?

Despite no output schema, description lists return fields (address, price, Zestimate, status, when saved). Combined with annotations, provides complete context for agent invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Only one parameter, session_id, fully described with source (zillow_register_session) and default behavior. Schema has 100% coverage and description adds precise context.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'get' and resource 'saved homes', specifies it returns address, price, Zestimate, status, and save time. Clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like zillow_get_saved_searches and zillow_search_properties.

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?

Explicitly requires sign-in and explains optional session_id parameter with default behavior. Could mention when not to use, but context is clear for a simple read tool.

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