create_checkout

Idempotent

Get a hosted-checkout link outside beta. Disabled while beta pricing is free.

    The REQUIRED idempotency_key creates or replays one durable order and Stripe is
    called under an order-derived key, so a retry never mints a second order or
    session. Args: pack (from pricing.credit_packs), idempotency_key,
    success_url/cancel_url, api_key (spend). Returns {checkout_url, pack, credits,
    usd_cents, expires_at, order_id, order_state, replayed}. Errors: unauthorized,
    forbidden, invalid_request, idempotency_conflict, payments_disabled, rate_limited.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
packYesWhich credit pack to buy, given as its CREDITS amount and matched against pricing.credit_packs exactly (not a dollar figure and not an index). A value that is not an offered pack is invalid_request.
api_keyNoAPI key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized.
cancel_urlNoWhere Stripe sends the browser if your human abandons checkout. At most 2048 characters. Omit to use the deployment's default.
success_urlNoWhere Stripe sends the browser after a successful payment. At most 2048 characters. Omit to use the deployment's default landing page.
idempotency_keyYesREQUIRED caller-chosen replay key for this checkout. The same key replays the same durable order and Stripe session (never a second charge intent); the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Matches REST's required Idempotency-Key header.

Output Schema

creditsNoCredits that land on your balance after the webhook confirms payment.
usd_centsNoWhat your human is charged, in cents.
expires_atNoWhen the checkout link stops working, ISO-8601 UTC.
checkout_urlNoThe URL your human opens to pay. Single use.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the idempotentHint annotation, the description thoroughly explains idempotency behavior ('creates or replays one durable order... retry never mints a second order or session'), the disabled state during beta, and lists possible errors. It reinforces the annotation without contradiction.

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 description is structured with a clear opening line stating purpose, followed by a paragraph on idempotency, a compact argument list, return format, and error enumeration. It is efficient, though the run-on style of the first sentence could be split for readability.

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?

The description covers all critical aspects: expected inputs (including required idempotency_key), behavioral guarantees (idempotent replay), return format (though output schema exists), error scenarios, and a current operational constraint (disabled during beta). It is complete for a checkout-creation tool.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds minimal value by referencing 'pack (from pricing.credit_packs)' and noting api_key as 'spend', but the individual parameter descriptions in the schema are already detailed. No significant extra meaning is provided.

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 clearly states the tool obtains a hosted-checkout link, with 'Get a hosted-checkout link outside beta' acting as a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on checkout creation and explicitly notes a temporary disabled state during free beta pricing.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage (when you need a checkout link) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives. It does provide context like idempotency and error conditions, but no direct comparison to sibling tools.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, e.g., signup vs. delete_account, create_key vs. revoke_key, generate_hooks vs. score_hook. Even similar tools like generate_hooks and generate_hooks_batch are clearly differentiated by single vs. batch operation.

Naming Consistency5/5

All 32 tools use a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., add_credits, create_checkout, revoke_key, list_outcomes) with no mixing of camelCase or other conventions.

Tool Count4/5

32 tools is slightly above the typical 15-tool range, but the domain is broad (account, keys, webhooks, generation, scoring, jobs, outcomes), and each tool has a specific purpose. No tools seem redundant.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers most lifecycle operations: CRUD for accounts/keys/webhooks, generation/scoring with batch and async variants, outcomes reporting, and auxiliary tools. Missing explicit delete for hooks (expire automatically) and some update operations, but no critical gaps.
