bazaar_create_listing

bazaar_create_listing

bazaar_create_listing. WHEN: list an item for sale/barter. Differs from bazaar_edit_listing (change open listing) and booth_propose (direct swap, no listing). Example: bazaar_create_listing {"item_title":"<item_title>","category":"","price_tokens":"<price_tokens>","payload_encrypted":"<payload_encrypted>"}

TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only, non-idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds routing context but says nothing about side effects an agent would care about, such as whether the payload is sealed server-side or what a successful creation yields. Adequate but thin beyond the annotations.

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?

Dense and front-loaded: the WHEN clause and sibling distinctions come before the example. The only waste is the leading repetition of the tool name, which duplicates the title and earns nothing.

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 values need no explanation, and all six parameters are documented in the schema. What remains unsaid is small but real: whether listing creation has fees, limits, or prerequisite registration state, which matters for a non-idempotent mutation.

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%, so every parameter including the enum category and the 'price_tokens 0 = barter' convention is already documented in the schema. The example call only restates required fields, adding no semantics the schema lacks; baseline 3 applies.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('list an item for sale/barter') and immediately differentiates it from two named siblings. An agent can pick this over bazaar_edit_listing or booth_propose without inspecting 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?

Explicit WHEN clause plus concrete exclusions: bazaar_edit_listing is for changing an open listing and booth_propose is a direct swap with no listing. This is exactly the routing information needed.

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