How to report a machine problem

report_machine_issue
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read-only: how the site says to report a machine or payment problem (a machine that took money, stopped mid cycle or will not open), in English or Spanish: what to include, the email and phone, the response and refund lines as published, and the report page. It does NOT file, send or store a report.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is settled by structured data. The description still earns credit by adding behavior the annotations don't carry: it quotes published text verbatim (response and refund lines "as published") and states outright that no report is filed, sent or stored. It stops short of noting that content is fixed/published and could drift from current policy.

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 read-only constraint is front-loaded, then scope, then the content inventory, then the negative clause — good ordering. The single dense sentence with a parenthetical list of problem types is information-rich but slightly hard to scan; it would read better split in two.

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 one-parameter, zero-required, closed-world lookup with an output schema present, nothing an agent needs is missing: scope, exclusions, language behavior and returned content are all stated. Return-value structure is correctly left to the output schema.

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% and the enum already documents "en"/"es", so the baseline would be 3. The description adds the useful framing that the language selects which version of the site is quoted, including the Spanish pages, which tells the agent the choice affects the wording of quoted policy rather than just a locale string.

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 the specific resource (the site's published instructions for reporting a machine or payment problem) and enumerates the concrete content returned: what to include, the email and phone, the response and refund lines, and the report page. It explicitly negates the adjacent wrong reading ("does NOT file, send or store a report"), which separates it from any action-oriented sibling.

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 trigger scenario is clear from the enumerated problem types (machine took money, stopped mid cycle, will not open), and the negative clause rules out using it to actually submit a report. What's missing is explicit routing: no sibling such as get_contact_form_link or search_faq is named as the alternative when the user wants something other than published reporting instructions.

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