Import a product from its page URL

import_product_from_url
Destructive

Start a product from its page URL; returns at once, so poll get_product. It detects the brand, and an external AI service reads the page into facts and ideas. A store locked to another account is refused and reported to support.

Tool call template

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

  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "url": "<url>"
    },

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesThe product page URL the user gave you or agreed to, e.g. https://store.example.com/products/wool-runner
brand_idNoOnly when the user said which brand this is (`list_brands`). Without it the import matches the storefront, or asks.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare openWorldHint, destructiveHint, and non-idempotency, so the description is not the sole source of the safety profile; it still adds real value by disclosing the async return contract, the involvement of an external AI service reading the page, and the refusal/report path for locked stores. It stops short of explaining what a destructive import overwrites or what happens when the same URL is imported twice despite idempotentHint=false.

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 with the async contract and the poll instruction front-loaded, which is the most decision-relevant fact. The clause about 'an external AI service reads the page into facts and ideas' is slightly imprecise about what is actually produced, costing a point.

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?

An output schema exists, so return shape need not be explained, and the key operational facts (async start, polling target, optional brand fallback, refusal case) are covered. The remaining gap is what 'destructive' means in practice for an import, particularly re-import and overwrite behavior.

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 description coverage is 100% and both parameters already carry full explanations, including how brand_id falls back to storefront matching. The description adds only the general notion that the brand is auto-detected, which the schema already conveys, so this is the baseline 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Start a product from its page URL') and implicitly distinguishes itself from the image-based sibling by anchoring on a URL. It does not explicitly name create_product_from_images or create_brand as the alternatives, so the contrast is inferred from context rather than stated.

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?

It tells the agent the call is asynchronous and names the follow-up tool ('returns at once, so poll `get_product`'), gives the condition for supplying brand_id ('Only when the user said which brand (`list_brands`)'), and discloses an exclusion (a store locked to another account is refused). When-to-use, what-to-do-next, and one when-not case are all present.

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