list_marketplace_channels

Read-only

Search the CATALOG of marketplace channels you can ADD — every sales channel (Amazon, eBay, Kaufland, Bol, Zalando, comparison sites, …) you can create a marketplace integration for (to list the marketplaces that ALREADY exist, use list_marketplaces). The catalog is large (many country variants), so it is SEARCHABLE + PAGED: pass query to match a channelCode/label (e.g. "amazon"), and page with limit/offset (the response carries hasMore + nextOffset). Response = {channels, returned, total, kind, hasMore, nextOffset}; each channel = {channelCode, label, kind, available, availabilityReason, authType, orderSyncSupported, multichannel, multichannelCode, primaryChannelCode, devOnly, upgradeUrl, appstoreUrl, feedManagerUrl}. available=false means you cannot add it now and availabilityReason says why: 'plan_limit' (upgradeUrl to upgrade the plan), 'appstore' (appstoreUrl — available in the Koongo App), or 'fallback' (feedManagerUrl — connect it via Feed Manager). authType is oauth|credentials|null. Use channelCode with get_marketplace_channel (to see the definition types + capabilities) and then create_marketplace. project_id is OPTIONAL (inferred for a single-project customer; project_id_required otherwise — then call list_projects).

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/destructive annotations, the description explains pagination semantics (hasMore, nextOffset), availability=false reasons (plan_limit, appstore, fallback) with the relevant remedy URLs, authType values, and project_id inference. This is substantial behavioral context an agent cannot derive from annotations alone.

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?

The description is dense but every sentence earns its place: disambiguation, search/pagination behavior, response shape, availability semantics, and downstream tool chaining. It front-loads the key distinction from list_marketplaces and stays organized despite the detail.

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?

With no output schema, the description fully documents the response envelope and channel fields, pagination behavior, availability reason variations, and project_id handling. It also names the follow-up tools needed to complete the workflow, making the definition complete for an agent to call it correctly.

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

Parameters5/5

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

The schema documents limit, query, and offset, but the description adds real meaning: query matches channelCode/label with an 'amazon' example, limit/offset produce hasMore/nextOffset, and the undocumented project_id parameter is fully explained as optional/inferred or requiring list_projects. This goes well beyond the schema.

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: searching the catalog of marketplace channels that CAN be added, listing concrete examples (Amazon, eBay, Kaufland). It explicitly contrasts with list_marketplaces, which lists already-existing marketplaces, fully differentiating it from the closest sibling.

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 gives explicit routing: use list_marketplaces for existing marketplaces, use channelCode with get_marketplace_channel then create_marketplace, and call list_projects when project_id_required. These when/alternative instructions leave no ambiguity about how to use this tool in context.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Tools are organized around distinct resources (ads, marketplaces, feeds, orders, rules, sources) with clear action verbs, and descriptions explicitly disambiguate near-pairs like get_feed_status vs ad_status or set_feed_filter vs set_feed_attribute_filter. A few similarly named status/action pairs (e.g. ad_status vs get_ad, run_ad_item_action vs run_ad_operation) require careful reading, but overall the purposes are separable.

Naming Consistency4/5

The overwhelming majority follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (list_*, get_*, create_*, set_*, run_*, test_*). Minor deviations like ad_status and marketplace_status (noun-based status tools) and koongo_knowledge break the pattern slightly, but the convention is clearly recognizable and predictable.

Tool Count1/5

At 105 tools, the surface is extreme and far beyond the 50+ threshold, even for a complex e-commerce integration domain. Much of the bloat comes from systematic triplication across ads, marketplaces, and feeds (e.g. three nearly identical map_*_attribute tools, three list_*_items, three get_*_report) that a generic resource parameter could have consolidated.

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers the full lifecycle of feeds, ads, marketplaces, order connections, rules, and imports, including create/read/update/delete, status monitoring, item-level actions, validation, repair, and restore. Minor gaps exist, such as no delete for standalone order connections and limited update capabilities for some entities, but these are workable and do not create dead ends for the core workflows.
