get_listing_detail
AI agents call get_listing_detail to retrieve information from Property Descriptions without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves property information (listings, EPC ratings, comparables) to feed into a description generator. It has no documented side effects—no modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the sibling tools (format_for_portals, get_property_data) and server context confirm this is a read-only data fetch operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_listing_detail' combined with server purpose (fetching comparable sales, EPC ratings, and Rightmove listings) indicates data retrieval. Description is empty, but function name and context strongly suggest querying property listing data.
