Look up family safety net for several cities

get_safety_net
Read-onlyIdempotent

Compare parental leave, universal healthcare, vacation days, and public holidays across 1–20 cities, each with a 0–100 safety-net score.

Instructions

Batch lookup of safety-net values — parental leave weeks + paid percentage, universal healthcare flag, vacation days, public holidays — for 1 to 20 cities at once, plus each city's safety_net dimension score (0-100) for relative strength. This is the only tool that accepts many cities in one call: use it to line several places up on family / leave / healthcare benefits. For one city's full profile (tax shape + costs + safety net together) call get_city_summary instead; for a two-city head-to-head that includes cost-of-living use compare_cities. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only and idempotent. The description adds that there are no side effects and that the return includes a text summary plus structured JSON. This is consistent and adds value beyond the 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?

The description is a single, well-structured paragraph. Every sentence earns its place, starting with the core purpose and then differentiating from siblings.

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?

Given the low complexity (1 param, good schema, annotations, output schema exists), the description covers all necessary aspects: what it does, how many items, what metrics, and how it relates to other tools.

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?

The only parameter 'cities' already has a good schema description. The description adds context that it's a batch operation and mentions the dimension score. It does not repeat the schema but complements it well.

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 clearly states it performs a batch lookup of safety-net values (parental leave, healthcare, vacation, holidays) plus a dimension score for 1-20 cities. It distinguishes itself from siblings by specifying alternatives for full profiles and two-city comparisons.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states when to use (batch lookup for multiple cities) and when not to use (for full profile or two-city comparison). Names specific alternatives: get_city_summary and compare_cities.

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