search_product_recalls_from_image

Read-onlyIdempotent

Photo (beta): identify products in a public HTTPS image URL, data:image/...;base64 URI, or MCP image content part. Local files are not supported. Each product includes match (upc, model, text, category) and confidence. Category matches omit recalls unless include_category_matches=true. Requires an API key or x402; not included in the free anonymous per-IP quota.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

  }
}

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld, and the description adds real context beyond them: local paths unsupported, category matches omit recalls unless include_category_matches=true, and the tool is excluded from the free anonymous per-IP quota. That auth/quota disclosure is genuinely useful and cannot be inferred from annotations.

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 core action and input forms, followed by return shape, a flag's behavior, and auth constraints. No filler, though the parenthetical '(beta)' and terse phrasing make a couple of clauses slightly dense.

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?

With an output schema available and annotations covering safety, the description supplies the missing pieces an agent needs: input restrictions, auth/quota, and the category-match flag behavior. It is complete enough to call correctly, with only minor gaps around the 'url' alias and no stated rate/error behavior.

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, but the description adds behavioral meaning: it explains the consequence of include_category_matches (category matches omit recalls by default) and confirms the URL/base64 image forms. It adds value beyond the field descriptions rather than merely restating them.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: identify products in a photo supplied as URL, base64 data URI, or MCP image part. It implicitly distinguishes itself from the text/upc recall search siblings by centering on image input, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

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?

Clearly states the accepted input forms and the exclusion 'Local files are not supported', plus the auth requirement (API key or x402, not in free anonymous quota). It gives context for when this tool is usable but does not explicitly contrast it against search_product_recalls or search_product_recalls_by_upc.

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