B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description explicitly says 'creates', which is consistent with the readOnlyHint false annotation. However, it does not disclose further behavior (e.g., whether the product becomes visible immediately or what happens on validation failure). Given annotations already cover readOnly and destructive hints, this is adequate but not detailed.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

While the core sentence is concise, the presence of the redundant and confusing extra text 'Guidance: Creates a product for the shop. | context: title' detracts from the structure. This unnecessary repetition would confuse an agent reading the description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a complex operation with 16 parameters and no output schema, the description provides minimal context. It does not mention what the function returns, what side effects occur beyond creation, or any constraints like required fields (though those are in the schema). This leaves the agent with incomplete information about the tool's overall behavior.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with each parameter already well-documented. The description adds no additional semantic information about the parameters, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 'Creates a product for the shop' clearly states the verb (creates), resource (product), and scope (shop), distinguishing it from sibling tools like shop_create_option or shop_create_variant.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as shop_create_option or shop_create_variant. The context signals and sibling list imply usage, but the description itself lacks any such direction.

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