Request a bulk or custom quote

get_bulk_quote_link
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get a pre-filled quote request link for pallet or recurring quantities, custom sizes, printed or branded packaging, freight orders, or any spec Packrift does not stock exactly. Put everything the buyer told you in the fields: the spec, quantity, delivery ZIP and need-by date travel with the request. The buyer adds their email and submits the form on packrift.com; Packrift replies by email with pricing. Returns the link and what the buyer still needs to add.

Tool call template

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive). The description adds real behavioral context beyond that: the link is pre-filled from the supplied fields, the buyer adds email and submits on packrift.com, and Packrift replies by email with pricing. It still doesn't state link lifetime or rate limits, but the workflow disclosure is substantial.

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?

Four tight sentences, front-loaded with the purpose before the field-completion instruction and the return explanation. No filler, though the closing return-value sentence is partly redundant given the output schema.

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 link builder with full schema coverage and an output schema, the description covers purpose, trigger conditions, how inputs are consumed, and the human handoff that follows. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly and explain the outcome to the user.

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 value by explaining that the supplied values are carried into the form ('the spec, quantity, delivery ZIP and need-by date travel with the request'), telling the agent these fields pre-fill the buyer's request rather than merely filtering a response.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get a pre-filled quote request link') and enumerates the exact scenarios it covers (pallet/recurring quantities, custom sizes, printed/branded packaging, freight, non-stocked specs), which clearly separates it from siblings like create_cart_url or get_shipping_estimate.

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?

Gives explicit when-to-use conditions ('any spec Packrift does not stock exactly'), so an agent knows to route here instead of product lookup tools. It does not name the sibling tools as alternatives, leaving that inference to the agent, which keeps it 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.
