Search Region Candidates

search_region_candidates

Resolves natural-language country or region names (including aliases and abbreviations) against SupplyGraph’s internal geography registry and returns a list of standardized region names for downstream agent and MCP tool consumption.

Pricing: {"unit": "credits", "billing_model": "per_run", "per_run": 1}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesCountry or region name in natural language, including aliases and abbreviations (e.g. 'China', 'USA', 'South Korea', 'Hong Kong', '中国', '美国'). The tool searches the internal geography registry and returns standardized matching region names for caller-side selection.

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations only include openWorldHint, so the description must carry the transparency burden. It discloses that the tool uses an internal registry and returns standardized names, and includes pricing (a behavioral/cost factor). However, it does not mention potential ambiguous matches, no-match behavior, or any error conditions. Given the minimal annotations, the description is adequate but not rich.

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 concise and front-loaded: two sentences only—one for purpose, one for pricing. Every sentence carries information without redundancy. No fluff or unnecessary details.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (single parameter, no nested objects, output schema present), the description is sufficient. It explains the purpose, the registry, and the output format (standardized names). It lacks details about edge cases, but the output schema covers return structure. For a straightforward tool, this is complete enough.

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?

The input schema already provides 100% coverage of the 'text' parameter with clear examples and explanation. The description adds that the result is for downstream consumption, but does not add new semantic details about the parameter itself. Baseline 3 is appropriate because the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 the tool resolves natural-language country/region names against an internal geography registry and returns standardized region names. It uses a specific verb 'resolves' and distinct resource 'geography registry', which differentiates it from sibling tools like search_company_candidates. The purpose is unambiguous and not a tautology.

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?

The description implies usage when natural-language region names need standardization for downstream tools, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention any alternatives. Since there is no similar sibling tool for regions, the context is clear enough, but the lack of exclusions prevents a perfect score.

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

B3.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, with consistent scopes (e.g., chain_* vs park_* vs company_* vs gov_data_*). The list/num pairs are clearly differentiated. A few overlapping concepts exist (e.g., company_patent vs enterprise_change_innovation) but descriptions clarify the angle. Some typos (company_randomin_spection) don't cause ambiguity.

Naming Consistency4/5

Naming follows a mostly predictable snake_case pattern with prefixes indicating domain (chain_, park_, company_, enterprise_change_, gov_data_, poi_data_, business_surrounding_, cbd_surrounding_). Most tools use <prefix>_<entity>_<action> or <prefix>_<subject>. A few outliers (sg_chokepoint, tariff_calc, corporate_exception_report) deviate but are few and recognizable.

Tool Count1/5

With 198 tools, this is far beyond any reasonable scope for a single server. It exceeds even the 'extreme mismatch' threshold of 50+ tools. The large number makes selection and discoverability challenging, despite good internal organization.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers a vast range of enterprise data, regional macro stats, POI details, supply chain analysis, and tariffs. It appears to cover the primary domain comprehensively, with only minor potential gaps (e.g., no direct tool for company debt ratings or specific product catalogs, but these are addressed via enterprise_change_* and company_* tools).
