Get an InkFE product

get_product
Read-onlyIdempotent

Describe one public InkFE product by handle. Returns handle, title, productType, hasBack (whether a back side is printed), dimensions in inches when known, the customer-facing options with a role (radio, size, quantity or frame) and their allowed values, every variant with its variantId, selectedOptions, packPrice, currency and availableForSale flag, and the product page URL. Use the variant's selectedOptions (option name plus value, exactly as listed) when the buyer chooses a pack size; a variant with availableForSale=false cannot be bought. Supply selectedOptions to resolve a complete configuration or get actionable missing/invalid/unavailable guidance. Read quantity for pack versus line-quantity rules, artwork for supported actions, source for freshness and policies for official policy links. A resolved variant is not artwork approval or a purchase quote. Fails with product_unavailable when the handle is unknown or the product is not sold publicly.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior, and the description adds meaningful traits beyond that: the product_unavailable error condition, the warning that a resolved variant is not artwork approval or a purchase quote, and explicit availability semantics. There is no contradiction with 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?

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose and return contract, then moves into usage guidance and error behavior. It is slightly dense, and the sentence about reading quantity, artwork, source, and policies is terse and could be clearer, but every part generally earns its place.

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?

For a read-only single-product lookup, the description covers the returned data, parameter behavior, availability semantics, configuration resolution, policy links, and failure mode. With a full output schema and rich annotations, no critical information is missing for an agent to call this tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds genuine value by explaining selectedOptions resolution behavior, exact option-name/value matching, missing/invalid/unavailable guidance, and the handle source for known products. This goes beyond mere schema restatement.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Describe one public InkFE product by handle.' It clearly distinguishes this from search/list siblings by focusing on a single product lookup, and it sets expectations by enumerating the returned fields and the product_unavailable failure case.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives practical guidance: supply selectedOptions to resolve a configuration, treat availableForSale=false as unbuyable, and read quantity, artwork, source, and policies for downstream decisions. It does not explicitly contrast this tool with siblings like search_products or get_quote, so it stops short of a 5.

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