Find cards

find_cards

Locate cards on a board by fuzzy-searching their titles, handling typos and partial matches, with results ranked by relevance.

Instructions

Fuzzy-search card titles on a board (handles typos/partial matches), ranked by relevance.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryYes
boardIdYes
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses key behaviors: fuzzy search, typo handling, partial matches, and relevance ranking. However, it omits details like result limits or behavior with no matches.

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?

Single clear sentence with no redundant information. Every word adds value.

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?

For a simple search tool with two required parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core functionality, behavioral traits, and parameter semantics adequately.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description effectively contextualizes both parameters: 'query' as the search term and 'boardId' as the board context. The parameter meanings are clear from the task description.

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 explicitly states it performs fuzzy-search on card titles with typo/partial match handling and relevance ranking, clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like list_cards or search_boards.

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?

The description implies usage for searching card titles with fuzzy matching but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., list_cards) or when not to use it.

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