Quote an InkFE business-card pack

get_quote
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read an exact available variant price for the configured business-card pack. Returns printed quantity, decimal subtotal/currency, a 10-minute quoteToken and authored production business-day range when known. Shipping, tax, discounts, delivery availability and the final total remain unknown until Shopify checkout; this is not a price lock or a promised arrival date. Numeric quantities and other products are unsupported. Show the terms and obtain buyer confirmation before passing quoteToken to create_checkout. Never automatically accept a replacement quote.

  2. First observed

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already signal a safe read/idempotent call; the description goes well beyond them by disclosing the 10-minute quoteToken lifetime, that shipping/tax/discounts/final total are unknown until checkout, that the result is not a price lock or delivery promise, and that replacement quotes must not be auto-accepted. No annotation contradictions are present.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four dense sentences with no filler: scope and return values first, then limitations, then downstream workflow and a policy warning. Every sentence adds a distinct, load-bearing instruction.

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 quoting tool with an output schema, the description covers input constraints, output semantics, token validity, unknowns, and the handoff to create_checkout. It is sufficient for an agent to call the tool correctly and interpret its result without additional assumptions.

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 67%, with handle and lineQuantity already meaningfully described; the description only adds a generic 'configured business-card pack' notion and restates that numeric quantities/other products are unsupported. It does not compensate for the undocumented selectedOptions field by explaining how variant options are named or sourced.

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 'Read an exact available variant price for the configured business-card pack', naming the precise action, resource, and scope. It also lists distinct deliverables (printed quantity, subtotal/currency, quoteToken, production business-day range) and explicitly contrasts itself with checkout, so an agent can tell it apart from create_checkout and product-lookup siblings.

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 states when the tool is appropriate (before checkout, after the pack is configured), when it is not ('Numeric quantities and other products are unsupported'), and what to do next ('obtain buyer confirmation before passing quoteToken to create_checkout'). It also supplies an explicit operational rule: never automatically accept a replacement quote.

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