Use apple-app-listings-search for the US App Store. Accept everyday descriptions for one app-name phrase, one app-description phrase, and one app category. Both text phrases are required. If the user writes in Chinese, preserve the intent and translate each phrase into concise English for the corresponding field; if either phrase or the category is missing or unclear, ask in plain language. Keep each search phrase nonempty and no longer than 200 characters. Map a clear category name to one supported Apple category; if unsupported or ambiguous, ask using ordinary category names, never a code. This Tool is US-only and uses English search terms. The user-facing task sets the fixed rating filter above 4.5, sorts from highest rating first, and returns up to 10 records; do not ask the user to configure these. Internally use the documented rating filter and sort only. Preserve returned app details, links, rating scales, review counts, price currencies and source-record dates, with missing values unknown. Do not describe rating order as an Apple chart rank or quality recommendation, or displayed prices as total in-app cost.

Task:
Search the US App Store in English for [words you think may be in the app name], [what you want the app to do], and [app category]. Show up to 10 apps rated above 4.5 stars, highest rated first, with available links and details.

Search US App Store apps by category and text

You receive

Get app listing records from the US App Store catalog using your supplied search criteria. Available details can include app IDs, names and descriptions, App Store links, developer and version information, ratings with their scales, review counts and displayed prices with currencies. Icon and image fields contain addresses. Your Agent can arrange the returned records into an app comparison table, preserving the chosen sorting rule and missing values. Where a source-record update time is provided, keep it separate from an app’s release date or version update.

Start with your task

Search the US App Store in English for [words you think may be in the app name], [what you want the app to do], and [app category]. Show up to 10 apps rated above 4.5 stars, highest rated first, with available links and details.

What to know

Both title and description terms, one category, one complete supported filter and one sort rule are required. The fixed limit of 10 does not promise ten matches or a complete category inventory. Records are not guaranteed current; ratings and sort order do not establish quality or suitability, and displayed prices do not cover every in-app purchase or subscription.

Input schema

Input schema
Field / Path	Type	Requirement	Meaning
App catalog search request`request`	`object`	Required	Required US App Store catalog search containing title and description terms, one category, one sorting rule, one filter condition and limit 10. All six values must be supplied; example criteria are not automatic defaults. Required fields `title, description, categories, order_by, filters, limit`
Maximum app records`request.limit`	`integer`	Required	Required integer with the exact value 10. It caps returned records, not the number guaranteed to match or complete catalog coverage. Fixed value `10`
Title search term`request.title`	`string`	Required	Required nonempty text used to search app titles. The Tool input range is 1–256 characters, but keep the term within 200 characters for the supplier’s limit. Also provide a description term; no exact-match or Boolean matching mode is selected here. Minimum length `1` Maximum length `256`
Filter condition list`request.filters`	`array`	Required	Required array containing exactly one condition array. Use one complete supported field/operator/value condition; for example, [["item.rating.value",">",4.5]]. This Tool does not provide multiple-condition or logical-group controls. Minimum items `1` Maximum items `1`
Filter condition`request.filters[]`	`array`	—	The single condition array. Its input bounds allow 1–3 components, but a usable supplier condition needs all three: field, operator and value. For example, ["item.rating.value",">",4.5]. Minimum items `1` Maximum items `3`
Condition component`request.filters[][]`	`string \| number`	—	A field name, operator or supported value. Each string must contain 1–256 characters; the only allowed numeric value is 4.5. Use genuine supported string values, not stringified numbers to request other thresholds.
Sorting rule list`request.order_by`	`array`	Required	Required array containing exactly one supported sorting rule. For example, ["item.rating.value,desc"] orders by the recorded rating value in descending order; it is not a quality recommendation. Minimum items `1` Maximum items `1`
Sorting rule`request.order_by[]`	`string`	—	One string of 1–256 characters using a supported field and direction separated by a comma, with asc or desc. The compatible example is item.rating.value,desc; multiple sorting rules are not available here. Minimum length `1` Maximum length `256`
App category list`request.categories`	`array`	Required	Required array with exactly one supported Apple listings category name, such as ["Utilities"]. Use a listings category rather than an App Store chart category code; multiple categories are not available here. Minimum items `1` Maximum items `1`
Category name`request.categories[]`	`string`	—	A supported Apple listings category name, supplied as a string of 1–256 characters. Utilities is a supported example, not a default or an arbitrary label. Minimum length `1` Maximum length `256`
Description search term`request.description`	`string`	Required	Required nonempty text used to search app descriptions. The Tool input range is 1–256 characters, but keep the term within 200 characters for the supplier’s limit. It must be provided alongside the title term and other criteria. Minimum length `1` Maximum length `256`

This Tool requires a title term and a description term together, plus one category, one supported filter condition and one sort rule. Keep each text term nonempty and within 200 characters for the supplier. It does not offer category-only or title-only mode, and you should not assume a particular exact-match, wildcard or AND/OR search behavior.
