TracePass products

tracepass_products

Manage the TracePass product catalogue. A product is the catalogue layer — one product can have many passports (one per serialised unit). Products are not billable on their own.

Actions (pass via action, with args):

  • list — args: { page?, limit? (≤100), category?, status?, search? }. Read-only.

  • get — args: { id }. Read-only.

  • create — args: { name, model, category, description? }. category is one of: battery, textile, electronics, construction, steel, detergents, paints-coatings, packaging, furniture, tyres, jewelry, toys, fmcg.

  • update — args: { id, name?, model?, description? }; pass at least one field to change.

  • create_batch — args: { products: [ { name, model, category, description? }, … ] }, up to 100. Partial-success: the response carries a per-item status, so some items can be created while others error. The whole batch consumes N writes upfront; if that would exceed the daily cap NOTHING is created (429).

  • archive — args: { id }. Soft-archive a product. Blocked with 409 while any non-archived passport still references it — archive those passports first. This is reversible and is NOT deletion.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Given only idempotentHint=false annotation, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explicitly marks list and get as 'Read-only', describes create_batch's partial-success model with per-item status, mentions the daily cap for batch operations returning 429, and details archive as a reversible soft-archive (not deletion) with conflict conditions. No contradictions with annotations.

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 well-structured with clear section headers (Actions) and bullet-point style for each action. Every sentence provides essential operational detail without redundancy. It front-loads the core concept ('A product is the catalogue layer') and then precisely documents each action's semantics in minimal space.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description fully characterizes the tool's behavior across six actions, including error conditions (409, 429), success semantics (partial-success), and limitations (batch max 100, daily cap). Given the complexity (nested objects, multiple actions, edge cases), the description is remarkably complete without relying on output schema documentation.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds significant value by grouping parameters per action (e.g., 'args: { page?, limit? (≤100), category?, status?, search? }'), enumerating valid category values, clarifying that update passes 'at least one field to change', and specifying batch limits. However, the description doesn't document all nested object properties for create_batch's products array beyond the example structure, which the schema also lacks.

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 clearly states 'Manage the TracePass product catalogue' and defines a product as 'the catalogue layer — one product can have many passports'. It explicitly enumerates six distinct actions (list, get, create, update, create_batch, archive) with their specific behavior, which distinguishes this tool from siblings like tracepass_passports.

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?

The description provides excellent when-to-use guidance by explaining the relationship between products and passports, noting that 'Products are not billable on their own' and for archive action specifying when a 409 conflict occurs (blocked while any non-archived passport references it). This context helps the agent decide when to use this catalog tool vs passport-specific tools.

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