yade_query_api

Search YADE API documentation using keywords to find relevant classes and functions with ranked descriptions. Ideal for locating API elements when only search terms are known.

Instructions

Search YADE API documentation by keywords (like grep).

Returns matching class/function names with descriptions ranked by relevance. Use yade_browse_api for full documentation of a specific class.

When to use:

  • You have keywords but don't know the exact class name

  • Examples: "friction material", "gravity engine", "contact force", "triaxial stress", "sphere create", "hertz mindlin"

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided; description carries full burden. It discloses search behavior and ranked results. However, it doesn't detail sorting or output structure, but output schema exists.

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?

Concise, well-organized with clear sections. Every sentence adds value, no fluff.

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 output schema exists and schema covers parameters, the description provides sufficient context: usage guidance, alternatives, examples. No gaps.

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 100%; description adds examples and context for query parameter, and explains limit constraint, adding value beyond schema.

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 searches YADE API documentation by keywords, like grep, and returns matching class/function names with descriptions. It distinguishes from sibling yade_browse_api.

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 (when you have keywords but don't know exact class name), provides examples, and names the alternative tool yade_browse_api.

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