Status and results of a Wholesale Scanner run. Returns progress % and, once complete, each supplier product matched to Amazon with sell price, profit and ROI.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the two-phase output (progress and final results) but does not mention prerequisites, error handling (e.g., invalid job_id), or authentication needs. Adequate but not comprehensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, very concise and front-loaded. However, it could benefit from a structured format (e.g., bullet points) for clarity, but it avoids unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description covers the main functionality. Missing details like error states or lifecycle (e.g., only valid after starting a scan) reduce completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has one parameter 'job_id' with no description (0% coverage). The description does not explain what job_id represents or how to obtain it, failing to compensate for the schema gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns status and results of a Wholesale Scanner run, specifying progress percentage and final product details. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_wholesale_jobs' (list jobs) and 'start_wholesale_scan' (initiate scan).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage after starting a scan but does not explicitly state when to use or not use it, nor provide alternatives. The context suggests it's for checking progress, but no explicit guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a distinct data type or action (e.g., product analysis, deal types, FBA operations). Even similar-sounding tools like get_deal_results and get_oa_deals are clearly separated by domain (A2A vs OA) in descriptions. No significant overlap.
All tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern with underscores (e.g., analyse_product, create_deal_task, get_credits). The consistent 'get_' prefix for retrieval tools and varied but predictable action verbs make the set easy to navigate.
At 37 tools, the set is large but covers a broad Amazon seller ecosystem (research, sourcing, FBA, deals, monitoring). Each tool serves a distinct purpose, and the count reflects the domain's complexity without being bloated.
The tool surface covers all major seller workflows: product analysis, profit calculation, sourcing, deal discovery, storefront monitoring, FBA operations, purchase tracking, price alerts, and reconciliation. No obvious gaps for core tasks.
