setlist_get_setlist_version

Read-only

Get a specific historical version of a setlist by its version ID to inspect what was performed at that edit. View the set, encores, covers, guest performers, tape tracks, and notes.

Instructions

Get a specific historical version of a setlist by its version ID. Setlists are wiki-edited; each edit has a version ID returned in a setlist's versionId field. A setlist's songs live in sets.set[]; each set may have an encore number (1 = first encore) and a name (e.g. an acoustic set or a full album). Each song may carry: tape: true (pre-recorded intro/outro/interlude — not actually performed), cover (the original artist when it is a cover), with (a guest performer), and info (a note like "acoustic" or "first time live"). Results include a setlist.fm url; when you present this data, cite it as a clickable source link to setlist.fm (their API terms require followable attribution — no nofollow). If a result has no url, link to https://www.setlist.fm instead.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
viewNoResponse shape: "compact" (default) drops fields the response already carries elsewhere; "full" returns every field this server understands. compact strips image/avatar URLs from the response; "full" returns Setlist.fm's payload untouched. No field projection: this server has no verified record of which Setlist.fm fields matter, and inventing one would risk dropping a field a caller needs.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The annotations only provide readOnlyHint: true, so the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It goes well beyond by explaining response structure, field semantics like 'tape' not actually being performed, cover/with/info meanings, and the required attribution behavior including a fallback URL. No contradictions 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 purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence. The rest is lengthy but every clause carries useful information about response shape or attribution, though it could be tightened without losing 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?

With no output schema, the description effectively documents the return structure, key song/set fields, and presentation requirements. It covers the input origin, response semantics, and attribution obligations, making it complete enough for an agent to invoke and present results correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, and the schema already documents both parameters thoroughly, including the view enum behavior. The description adds extra meaning by explaining that versionId comes from a setlist's versionId field, which helps the agent understand where to obtain the value.

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 states a specific verb and resource: get a specific historical setlist version by its version ID. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling setlist_get_setlist by emphasizing 'historical version' and the wiki-edit context, so an agent can tell them apart.

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 clearly explains when to use this tool: when you have a versionId from a setlist's versionId field. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, but the context is clear and sufficient for correct routing.

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