search_tools

Find free home renovation tools for material/cost calculations, contract templates, room design, contractor checks, and DIY help in English or Polish, filterable by category, rating, and language.

Instructions

Find free home renovation tools for a task: material or cost calculators (paint, tiles, flooring, concrete, drywall, roofing, insulation, HVAC, electrical, solar), contract and estimate templates, room planners and 3D design, contractor directories and company checks (USA, UK, Poland), measuring and colour-preview apps, forums. Queries may be in English or Polish. rating is a public user rating with its review count (App Store or SourceForge); maintainer_tool marks tools by the list's maintainer. An empty result means nothing in the list fits.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden; it usefully discloses return-field semantics (`rating` is a public App Store/SourceForge rating with review count, `maintainer_tool` flags list-maintainer tools) and the meaning of an empty result. It stops short of noting rate limits or auth, but for a read-only search this is solid disclosure.

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 and the sentence ordering (what it finds, then language, then field semantics, then empty-result behavior) is logical. The long parenthetical enumeration is dense but earns its place by defining searchable scope.

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 and zero required parameters, the description does the necessary work of explaining returned fields (`rating`, `maintainer_tool`) and the empty-result outcome. Nothing critical to invoking it correctly is missing, though sibling routing could be more explicit.

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 all five parameters including enums and the min_rating exclusion rule. The description adds only the language note (English or Polish queries), which is baseline-level reinforcement rather than new meaning.

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 (search/find) and resource (free home renovation tools) and enumerates the concrete content types the corpus covers (calculators, templates, planners, directories, apps, forums). This clearly distinguishes it from get_tool (fetch one) and list_categories (enumerate taxonomy) without needing either schema.

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?

Gives clear context for when to use it — searching by a user task, with query examples and supported languages — and explains the empty-result case. It does not explicitly name the sibling alternatives (get_tool for details, list_categories for browsing), so routing between siblings is left to inference.

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