Packrift MCP

Create Packrift checkout link

create_cart_url

Read-onlyIdempotent

Create a checkout link on packrift.com for items the buyer has chosen. Give each item as SKU and quantity (number of packs); up to 25 lines. The link opens packrift.com checkout with those items and automatic volume discounts applied; the buyer adds their address and pays there. Returns the subtotal after volume discounts. This tool never places an order or charges anyone. Call it only after the buyer confirms the items and quantities.

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description adds real context beyond them: the 25-line cap, that volume discounts are applied automatically, that the buyer supplies address and pays on the site, and what is returned (subtotal after discounts). This is exactly the extra behavioral detail annotations cannot carry.

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?

Four tightly packed sentences with zero filler, and the core action plus item format are front-loaded ahead of the safety caveat and precondition. Nothing can be removed without losing information an agent needs.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, yet the description still names the returned subtotal. Preconditions, hard limits, side-effect boundaries, and the buyer-side flow are all covered for a single-required-parameter tool.

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?

Schema coverage is 67%, a middling level. The description usefully re-frames items as SKU + quantity in packs and repeats the 25-line limit, but says nothing about the optional discount_code or the response_format enum's concise/detailed tradeoff beyond what the schema already documents.

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 ("Create a checkout link on packrift.com for items the buyer has chosen") and immediately scopes it as a link-generation step, not an order. An agent can tell this apart from siblings like get_bulk_quote_link or get_shipping_estimate without opening schemas.

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 an explicit precondition: "Call it only after the buyer confirms the items and quantities," plus a clear non-goal ("never places an order or charges anyone"). It does not name alternative tools for the quote/estimate paths, so it falls short of a full when/when-not/alternatives treatment.

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