search_products

Use when the customer hasn't specified a product ID yet. Filters by blind type (roller, venetian, honeycomb, vertical, outdoor), colour name, or maximum window dimensions in mm. Returns product_id, name, description, features, and in-stock colour count. Pass the product_id to get_price or configure_product as the next step.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the burden. It discloses filter behavior and return fields (product_id, name, description, features, stock count), implying a read-only query operation. It doesn't mention auth or side effects, but none are expected for a search tool.

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?

Three sentences, each with a distinct purpose: when to use, what filters/returns, and next step. No redundant words or filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

No output schema, but the description explicitly lists the returned fields. It doesn't mention pagination or result limits, but for a filterable search tool the provided information is sufficiently complete for correct invocation.

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 input schema has 100% parameter descriptions, so the description doesn't need to explain each parameter. It adds usage context around parameter selection but doesn't deepen semantic meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 the tool searches/filters products when no product ID is known, lists filter dimensions (type, colour, size), and specifies return fields. This distinguishes it from get_product (which presumably uses an ID) and other catalog tools.

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?

Explicitly instructs 'Use when the customer hasn't specified a product ID yet' and directs the next step to get_price or configure_product, providing clear usage context and an implied alternative (get_product for ID-based lookup).

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

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but search_products and lookup_catalog overlap significantly in filtering by category and dimensions, which could confuse an agent. The three search/filter tools have subtle differences described, but the overlap lowers the score from perfect.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools use consistent snake_case with verb-noun structure (e.g., cancel_cart, get_product, update_checkout). There is no mixing of conventions, and the verbs clearly indicate the action, making the set predictable and easy to parse.

Tool Count4/5

26 tools is slightly above the typical well-scoped range of 3-15, but the domain of an e-commerce blinds shop with additional services like AR, swatches, and price matches justifies the count. A couple of legacy tools (create_order, submit_enquiry) add minor bloat.

Completeness4/5

The core purchase flow (search, configure, cart, checkout, payment, order tracking) is fully covered. Additional services like AR visualization, swatches, price match, and WhatsApp handoff are present. Missing features like order listing or coupon application are minor gaps.
