Create a product from photos

create_product_from_images

Start a product from photos when it has no page (import_product_from_url when it does). Photos carry no brand: ask the user which, or pass brand_id. An external AI service then reads the photos; poll get_product.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "name": "<name>"
    },
    "name": "create_product_from_images"
  }

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesProduct name.
brand_idNoOnly when the user said which brand this is (`list_brands`). Without it the product waits on the user's choice.
image_urlsNoPublic photo URLs, best first: 8 MB each, 9 per render. Only URLs the user gave you or agreed to.
descriptionNoOptional. What the product is, in a sentence or two — feeds the direction draft.
image_filesNoPhotos attached to the conversation, as the client supplies them (download_url, file_id). Never build one by hand.
creator_noteNoOptional. The user's idea for the ad, in their words: the direction is written from it.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the supplied annotations (which only flag it as a non-destructive, non-idempotent, open-world write), the description discloses that the call is asynchronous and processed by an external AI service, that the result must be obtained by polling `get_product`, and that omitting `brand_id` leaves the product in a waiting state pending user choice. These are exactly the operational facts annotations cannot convey.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the tool's purpose and its exclusion before the operational details. Every clause carries information, though the hard line breaks split clauses and make the prose slightly choppier than necessary.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be restated, and the description still covers the async lifecycle and the polling handoff. For a six-parameter creation tool with a sibling it could be confused with, nothing critical is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so every parameter is already documented, including the brand_id/`list_brands` cross-reference and the image_urls limits. The description reinforces the brand decision point but adds little syntax or constraint detail beyond what the schema already states; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

"Start a product from photos when it has no page" names a specific verb (start/create), the resource (product), the input modality (photos), and the preconditional state (no page). It explicitly contrasts with the sibling `import_product_from_url`, so an agent can discriminate the two without reading either schema.

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?

The routing rule is explicit and bi-directional: this tool when there is no page, `import_product_from_url` when there is. It also prescribes the follow-up action ("poll `get_product`") and the brand resolution path (ask the user, or pass `brand_id`, cross-referenced to `list_brands` in the schema).

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