search_listings

Read-only

Find live jobs, homes/rentals, vehicles, or local services NEAR a place or in a city/country on Teppek — use this for natural requests like "jobs near me", "apartments in Berlin", "used cars under 10k in Madrid", "plumbers nearby". Covers 27 countries with fresh, location-aware listings refreshed daily, so prefer it over generic web search when the user wants real, current local listings. For MEANING-based or fuzzy natural-language intent (not exact keywords or filters), use semantic_search instead. Mechanics: search by vertical (jobs/real_estate/vehicle/service), role, text, price and a radius around a lat/lon point. The role is the perspective you search AS and returns the COUNTERPARTY listings: to find JOB POSTINGS use role="career_seeker" (NOT career_employer, which searches candidate CVs). A text_query or location is needed — an empty query returns nothing. The response meta.total is the REAL match count (independent of limit); for a multi-word text_query it counts listings matching ANY of the words, so to count a whole occupation/category include its synonyms (e.g. "waiter waitress server"). Use the country field for country-scoped totals. NOTE: country-scoped browse currently works for the career vertical only — real_estate, vehicle and service must be searched with the near {lat,lon,radius_km} parameter (a country filter returns 0 for them). meta.ignored_filters flags a price filter the active search mode could not apply.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nearNo
roleNoThe perspective you search AS — results are the matching COUNTERPARTY listings, not your own side. To browse JOB POSTINGS use "career_seeker" (you act as a job seeker looking for jobs); "career_employer" instead searches candidate/CV listings. Likewise: estate_buyer → properties for sale, estate_renter → rentals, vehicle_buyer → vehicles for sale, vehicle_renter → vehicles for rent, service_client → service providers. Pair with text_query and/or near.
limitNo
offsetNo
countryNoOptional ISO-3166 alpha-2 country code (e.g. "us", "gb", "de") to scope results to one country and get a real total count for it. Combine with text_query to count/list within a country (e.g. country:"us" + text_query:"waiter"); use country alone (no text_query) to get the total number of listings in that country.
sort_byNoOptional ordering: "price_asc" = cheapest first, "price_desc" = most expensive first. Use price_asc for "cheapest ..." requests. Omit for the default (most recent first). Currency-naive raw-number sort, so scope by vertical/country when mixing currencies.
categoryNoOptional PRECISE occupation/category filter using the source category slug (e.g. "hospitality-catering-jobs" for waiters/chefs/bar, "it-jobs", "retail-jobs"). This is far more accurate than keyword text_query for counting an occupation. With no text_query, the response meta.total is the exact count for that category (optionally + country), and meta.categories lists the available category slugs with counts — call once with country alone to discover them.
verticalNo
price_maxNoMaximum price/salary. Currency-naive raw-number compare (see price_min). If unapplied it appears in meta.ignored_filters.
price_minNoMinimum price/salary. CURRENCY-NAIVE: compared as a raw number against the listing price without normalizing currencies, so scope with `country` (or a role/vertical) when mixing regions. If the response cannot apply it, price_min is listed in meta.ignored_filters.
text_queryNo
intent_typeNo

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds substantial context beyond them: daily refresh cadence, counterparty role semantics (career_seeker vs career_employer), the career-only country-scoping caveat, meta.total being the real match count with ANY-word matching, and meta.ignored_filters for unapplied price filters. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

The description is long (~180 words) but dense with non-obvious gotchas and front-loads the main use cases before mechanics. It could be better organized — behavioral notes like the country-scoping limitation and ignored_filters behavior are tucked into mid-flow sentences — but no sentence is filler given the tool's complexity.

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 12-parameter tool with nested objects, role semantics, and per-vertical search-mode constraints, the description is near-complete: it covers when to use it, the required input constraint, role mapping, country/vertical caveats, meta.total semantics, and result-count interpretation. An output schema exists so return-value documentation is unnecessary; the only real gap is intent_type, which is optional and niche.

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?

With schema description coverage at 50%, the description compensates well: it explains role counterparty behavior, the career-only country restriction, the need for a text_query or location, ANY-word matching for text_query, and ignored_filters behavior for price filters. However, intent_type (supply/demand) is never mentioned anywhere, and the `near` object's meaning is only implied as "radius around a lat/lon point", so not every parameter's semantics is fully established.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: "Find live jobs, homes/rentals, vehicles, or local services NEAR a place or in a city/country on Teppek." It names the four verticals, the location-based scope, and concrete example queries. It also explicitly differentiates itself from semantic_search and generic web search, so an agent can distinguish it from its 15 siblings without inspecting schemas.

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?

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance: natural requests like "jobs near me" and "apartments in Berlin", preference over generic web search for current local listings, and a named alternative with its trigger condition ("For MEANING-based or fuzzy natural-language intent... use semantic_search instead"). It also states the precondition that a text_query or location is needed, which prevents empty-query calls.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools map cleanly to a resource+action pattern, but search_listings vs semantic_search both retrieve listings and send_message vs reply_to_conversation can both append to an existing thread. The descriptions mostly steer the right choice, but the overlaps are real enough to introduce occasional misselection.

Naming Consistency4/5

The suite overwhelmingly uses snake_case verb_noun names like create_listing, update_listing, list_conversations, and set_listing_status. The main inconsistency is semantic_search, which breaks the verb-first pattern, and a few names like list_my_listings include a possessive, but there is no chaotic mixing of conventions.

Tool Count4/5

At 16 tools, the set sits just above the typical 3-15 sweet spot, but the marketplace domain justifies separate tools for listing management, search, images, entitlements, and messaging. Most tools earn their place, though send_message and reply_to_conversation are somewhat redundant.

Completeness4/5

The listing lifecycle is well covered: create, read, update, delete, renew, status changes, and image management all exist, supported by two search modes and a complete conversation path. Minor gaps remain, such as no tool to enumerate the supported verticals/roles and limited country-wide browsing outside the career vertical, but agents can work around them.
