bazaar_reveal_strategy

Read-onlyIdempotent

bazaar_reveal_strategy. WHEN: read strategy plaintext you sold or bought (settled only). Differs from bazaar_browse_listings (never shows plaintext). Example: bazaar_reveal_strategy {"listing_id":"<listing_id>"}

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, so safety is covered; the description earns credit for adding the non-obvious 'settled only' precondition and the ownership requirement (you must have sold or bought the listing). It stops short of saying what happens on an unsettled or unauthorized request (error vs. null).

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?

Compact and front-loaded: the condition comes before the example. The only waste is the leading restatement of the tool name, which duplicates the title field without adding information.

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 annotations cover the safety profile; the description supplies the decisive usage context (settled-only, ownership-based access). What remains thin is failure behavior, which is minor for a read-only reveal 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% and both parameters are documented in the schema, so the baseline is 3. The inline example reinforces that listing_id is the sole required identifier, but adds no format or constraint detail beyond the schema, and the 'key' parameter is never mentioned.

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 names a specific verb and resource ('read strategy plaintext you sold or bought') plus a scope qualifier ('settled only'), and explicitly contrasts with bazaar_browse_listings ('never shows plaintext'). An agent can distinguish this from every other bazaar_* sibling without opening the 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?

It uses an explicit 'WHEN:' clause stating the triggering condition, and names the alternative tool (bazaar_browse_listings) along with the reason to prefer this one. The 'settled only' restriction also implicitly excludes the pending-proposal case.

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