A4.5/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct role: taxonomy resolution, product search, product detail retrieval, and multi-product comparison. The descriptions explicitly cross-reference each other, making the handoff from search to get_product and from taxonomy to search clear.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools use a consistent snake_case pattern with the off_ server prefix followed by a verb and noun: off_browse_taxonomy, off_compare_products, off_get_product, off_search_products. The convention is predictable throughout.

Tool Count5/5

Four tools is well-scoped for a read-only Open Food Facts lookup server. Each tool earns its place by supporting a distinct step in the browse-search-inspect-compare workflow, with no redundant endpoints.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the core read workflows: resolving tags, searching products, fetching full product data, and comparing up to ten products. Minor gaps exist around bulk retrieval or direct category listing, but agents can work around them using search and taxonomy tools.

Available Tools

4 tools
off_browse_taxonomyBrowse Food Facts TaxonomyA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Resolve a human term to the canonical Open Food Facts tag ID that off_search_products filters on. Covers categories, labels/certifications, allergens, additives, countries, NOVA groups, and Nutri-Score grades. Pass a search term to resolve against the Open Food Facts vocabulary, which holds tens of thousands of tags; omitting it returns only a small reference list for each facet except NOVA groups and Nutri-Score grades, which are complete. Most tag IDs use the "en:" prefix (e.g. "en:organic", "en:no-gluten", "en:crustaceans"); NOVA groups return bare digits "1"-"4" and Nutri-Score grades bare letters "a"-"e". Pass the id through to off_search_products exactly as returned. Category tags are frequently plural ("kombucha" resolves to "en:kombuchas"), so use the returned id rather than constructing one.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
facetYes"categories" covers food categories (en:cheeses, en:breakfast-cereals). "labels" covers certifications (en:organic, en:fair-trade). "allergens" covers declared allergens (en:milk, en:gluten). "additives" covers E-numbers (en:e322). "countries" covers country-of-sale tags (en:france). "nova_groups" and "nutrition_grades" are closed vocabularies returned complete; the other five are resolved against the Open Food Facts taxonomy.
limitNoMaximum entries to return (default 20). One call returns at most 200: a larger value returns the first 200 and, when more matched, says how many did. There is no offset or page input: Open Food Facts offers no cursor for this lookup, so narrow the search term rather than paging. The tag spelling the term itself (e.g. "lentil" → en:lentils) is listed first among the live matches, so it is not the one a small limit cuts.
searchNoTerm to resolve. Matched case-insensitively as a substring of the tag ID, the display name, or a common synonym of either ("shellfish" resolves to en:crustaceans, "gluten free" to en:no-gluten). A single word works best ("hummus", not "hummus dip"). Omit only to see a small reference list — Open Food Facts cannot list the full vocabulary without a term, so an unfiltered call is not a view of the full facet.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
capNoThe limit that was applied — at most 200.
tagsNoMatching tag entries.
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
facetNoThe facet name that was queried (echoes the input).
shownNoNumber of tags returned.
noticeNoCaveat about the answer — that the listing is a limited reference list rather than the full vocabulary, that the live vocabulary could not be reached or gave no usable answer, that nothing matched and why, or that the limit cut matches, naming how many matched and the next call: a larger limit while one would list more, otherwise a narrower term, which is the only route past the first 200 (a limit above 200 is named too).
truncatedNoTrue when more tags exist beyond the limit.
total_in_facetNoTotal entries in this facet. Present only for nova_groups and nutrition_grades, whose vocabularies are closed and complete. Absent for the other facets: Open Food Facts reports no match total and cannot enumerate them, so no figure would be a real one.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld, and the description still adds non-obvious behavior: the 200-entry cap with no offset or cursor, the ordering guarantee that the exact tag spelling comes first so a small limit won't cut it, and the split between closed vocabularies (NOVA, Nutri-Score) and the open taxonomy. These are operational traits an agent could not infer from annotations or schema.

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?

Front-loaded with the core resolution purpose and the downstream consumer, then layered with the operational caveats. Dense and mostly waste-free, though the list of covered facets overlaps with the facet enum's own descriptions.

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?

For a 3-parameter read-only lookup with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description covers the remaining unknowns: no pagination, the 200-result cap, id format, and how to narrow instead of page. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly is missing.

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 schema already documents all three parameters; the description nonetheless adds meaning beyond it — the 'en:' prefix convention, bare digits '1'-'4' for NOVA and bare letters 'a'-'e' for Nutri-Score, and single-word query advice. The facet enumeration is partly restated from the schema, which keeps it from a 5.

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 ('Resolve a human term to the canonical Open Food Facts tag ID') and explicitly ties the output to the sibling tool that consumes it ('that off_search_products filters on'). An agent can distinguish this resolver from off_search_products/off_get_product without opening any schema.

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?

Gives explicit when-to-use ('Pass a search term to resolve'), when to omit it and what that yields, and a hard instruction to pass the returned id to off_search_products exactly rather than constructing one. It also anticipates the failure mode ('kombucha' → 'en:kombuchas') and tells the agent to trust the returned id.

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

off_compare_productsCompare Food Products Side-by-SideA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Side-by-side nutrition and scoring comparison for 2–10 products per call by barcode; a repeated barcode is compared once, so two identical barcodes yield one row, and barcodes past the 10th distinct one are listed in unprocessed rather than fetched. Returns a normalized table of energy (kcal), fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, salt, protein, and fiber per 100 g, or per 100 ml for liquids, plus Nutri-Score, NOVA group, and Green-Score. Open Food Facts returns one preparation state per read, so figures for the prepared product arrive in a prepared object on the row, with the same columns and basis, and never fill an as-sold field. Designed for "which of these cereals is healthiest?" or "compare these pasta brands" workflows. Missing nutrition data for any product is preserved as absent — comparisons are not imputed. A batch is not all-or-nothing: barcodes that resolve are returned even when others fail, with confirmed-missing barcodes listed in not_found and failed fetches listed separately in failed. Scores carry regional formula caveats. Data under ODbL 1.0 — cite Open Food Facts in downstream use.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
barcodesYesBarcodes to compare, returned as one row each in input order; a repeated barcode is compared once, so two identical barcodes yield one row. One call compares at most 10 distinct barcodes: up to 100 are accepted, and those past the 10th distinct one are returned in unprocessed without being fetched. Example: ["3017620422003", "7622210100146"].

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
failedNoBarcodes whose fetch failed, with the per-barcode reason. Absent when every fetch completed. A barcode listed here is unknown, not absent from Open Food Facts — retry it with off_get_product before concluding anything about the product.
productsNoComparison rows in input order — one per distinct barcode whose fetch completed, whether or not a record exists. Barcodes whose fetch failed have no row here; they appear in failed. Barcodes past the cap appear in unprocessed.
not_foundNoBarcodes Open Food Facts answered for, confirming no contributor record exists. Not an error — the product may exist but not yet be entered. Never used for a fetch that failed.
succeededNoNumber of barcodes that resolved to a found product.
unprocessedNoDistinct barcodes past the 10th, in input order — never fetched, so nothing is known about them. Absent when the batch held 10 or fewer distinct barcodes. Compare them in another off_compare_products call (2–10 barcodes), or look a single one up with off_get_product.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the read-only/idempotent annotations, the description discloses substantial behavior: duplicate barcodes collapse to one row, barcodes past the 10th distinct are listed in unprocessed rather than fetched, missing nutrition is preserved as absent rather than imputed, and failures are partitioned into not_found vs failed. It also explains the prepared-product object and regional scoring caveats, which are exactly the operational details an agent needs.

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?

The core purpose is front-loaded and most sentences carry useful behavioral nuance. It is longer than average, but the density of genuinely relevant details (partial results, preparation state, license) keeps it from being bloated; some barcode-cap wording duplicates the schema.

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?

Given the multi-product complexity, partial-failure semantics, prepared-state handling, and scoring caveats, the description is complete enough for correct invocation. An output schema exists, so the description need not explain return structure, and it still usefully summarizes the returned columns.

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 description coverage is 100% and the single barcodes parameter already documents deduplication, the 10-distinct cap, and unprocessed overflow. The description restates those semantics in prose but adds no syntax or constraint detail beyond the schema, so baseline 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 opens with a specific verb+resource+scope: 'Side-by-side nutrition and scoring comparison for 2–10 products per call by barcode.' It clearly distinguishes this multi-product comparison tool from single-product siblings like off_get_product and discovery tools like off_search_products.

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?

It names concrete workflows ('which of these cereals is healthiest?', 'compare these pasta brands') that tell an agent when this tool fits. It does not explicitly name alternatives such as off_get_product for single-product lookups or state exclusions, so it falls short of a 5.

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

off_get_productGet Food Product by BarcodeA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Fetch a packaged food product by barcode (4–40 digits: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC, and the shorter and longer codes Open Food Facts also holds) from Open Food Facts. Returns the product name, brand, quantity, ingredients (raw text and parsed list), declared allergens, trace allergens the label warns about, additives, the product-level vegan/vegetarian/palm-oil analysis, computed scores (Nutri-Score a–e, NOVA 1–4, Green-Score), nutrition per serving and per 100 g, or per 100 ml for liquids, categories, labels, packaging, origins, countries of sale, image URL, and data completeness. Open Food Facts is a crowd-sourced database — a missing field means "not yet entered by contributors," not that the attribute is absent from the actual product. Nutrition is the exception: Open Food Facts returns one preparation state per read, so a read of prepared figures (_prepared keys under nutriments) omits as-sold figures the record can still hold. Computed scores carry regional formula caveats and are indicators, not absolute rankings. Data is under ODbL 1.0 — cite Open Food Facts in downstream use.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
fieldsNoSubset of fields to return. Omitting returns all standard fields. Use to reduce payload when only scores or ingredients are needed. A field that cannot be read on its own arrives with what it depends on: nutriments brings serving_size, serving_quantity, and serving_quantity_unit so per-serving figures carry their denominator, and serving_quantity and serving_quantity_unit each bring the other plus serving_size, since a quantity reads only with its unit. requested_fields echoes the full set that was fetched.
barcodeYesProduct barcode, digits only: 4–40 digits after any leading zeros. The primary key for Open Food Facts — the barcode of an off_search_products row works as is. Example: "3017620422003" (Nutella FR).

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
barcodeNoThe input barcode, echoed back unchanged. Open Food Facts can hold the record under another form of the same code (030000010402 resolves to the record stored as 0030000010402); that stored form is not reported.
productNoProduct data. Always present on a successful call — a barcode with no contributor record raises the not_found error instead of returning an empty result.
requested_fieldsNoThe field subset that was fetched, when the caller passed `fields` — the requested fields plus the ones they depend on, so every field that can appear in `product` is named here. Absent means all standard fields were requested. Sections outside this subset are omitted because they were not requested — not because Open Food Facts lacks the data.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the readOnly/idempotent/openWorld annotations: it discloses that missing fields mean "not yet entered by contributors" rather than absent, that nutrition returns one preparation state per read so prepared reads can omit as-sold figures, that computed scores carry regional formula caveats, and that ODbL 1.0 requires attribution. These are exactly the interpretive caveats an agent needs to avoid over-claiming results.

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?

Wait — reassessed: the definition is front-loaded correctly but the single second sentence is bloated by an exhaustive enumeration of every returned attribute (name, brand, quantity, ingredients, allergens, additives, scores, nutrition, categories, labels, packaging, origins, image, completeness). Since an output schema exists, that inventory is redundant and crowds out the genuinely useful caveats. Score reflects over-length rather than waste-free structure.

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 present, the return-value detail is unnecessary, but the description compensates with strong caveats on data provenance, preparation-state nutrition, and score reliability. The notable gap is failure behavior: nothing says what happens when a barcode is validly formatted but unknown to the database, which matters for a primary-key lookup.

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 description coverage is 100%, so both parameters are already documented, including the field-dependency behavior (nutriments pulling serving fields, requested_fields echo). The description's only addition is naming barcode symbologies (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC), which is marginal over the schema's pattern and example; baseline 3 applies.

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 ("Fetch a packaged food product by barcode") plus the data source (Open Food Facts) and the full barcode range accepted. The barcode-based lookup is self-evidently distinct from the browse/search/compare siblings, so an agent can route correctly without opening the schema.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied by the required barcode: there is no explicit "use off_search_products when you don't have a barcode" or any statement about when this tool is the wrong choice. The one routing hint given is chaining-oriented ("the barcode of an off_search_products row works as is"), which helps but is not a use-vs-alternative rule.

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

off_search_productsSearch Food ProductsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Search Open Food Facts by full-text query, structured tag filters, or both at once. Returns a summary list with barcodes, product names, brands, Nutri-Score, NOVA group, and categories — enough for triage and selection, not full label data. Use off_get_product on the returned barcodes for complete details. A text query and tag filters combine: every word of the query must match the product name, generic name, categories, labels, or brand, and every filter provided must hold (e.g. query "dark chocolate" with labels_tag "en:organic" and countries_tag "en:france" returns organic chocolate sold in France); numeric nutrient_filters express thresholds per 100 g, or per 100 ml for liquids, such as sugars below 8 g, and combine the same way, and each row then carries the indexed values the thresholds were checked against; additives_tag is the one exception, filtering only on searches carrying neither query nor nutrient_filters. Tag filter values are canonical tag IDs (e.g. "en:organic", "en:no-gluten") — use off_browse_taxonomy to resolve human terms to tag IDs. A case variant, synonym, or singular of a tag is resolved to its canonical ID where Open Food Facts recognizes it; anything else is matched exactly. exclude_allergens and exclude_traces drop products that declare an allergen or a "may contain" trace, but a product with no allergen or trace data entered passes them, so confirm a candidate with off_get_product before relying on it. At least one search parameter is required. The two paths read different indexes: a search carrying query is answered by the text index, a snapshot that lags the live database, while a tag-only search reads the live database and is current — so a recently contributed product can be missing from a text search and present in the same search without query. Data is crowd-sourced; result count reflects contributed products, not all products in the market. Data under ODbL 1.0 — cite Open Food Facts in downstream use.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageNoPage number (1-based). Use with page_size to paginate results. Pages are counted at the page_size served, which is at most 50, so repeating one larger page_size pages contiguously (page 2 at page_size 80 is results 51–100). A search by tag filters alone is served through page 10 only, so at page_size 50 it reaches the first 500 matches. A search carrying query or nutrient_filters serves only the first 10000 results, so page * page_size (as served) must stay at or below 10000. A request past either bound is rejected rather than sent; narrow the filters or change sort_by to bring other products forward.
queryNoWords to find. Every word must match the product name, generic name, categories, labels, or brand — ingredients and quantity are not searched — so put only words the product itself would carry. Punctuation separates words — except an underscore, an apostrophe or period inside a word, and a decimal comma inside a number — so each part of "milk-chocolate" or "salt/pepper" must match, while "l'eau" and "1,5" stay one word. Stop words of English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian ("with", "the", "de", "mit", …) are not required, and neither is a content word that is a stop word in one of them (such as Spanish "soy"), though it still ranks the results. Names are matched in the 31 languages the text index analyzes, so a product named only in French is found by its French name. At most 24 words, counted as runs of letters and digits, so each part of a hyphenated or apostrophe-joined word counts. Example: "dark chocolate 70%". Supplying it routes the search to the text index, a snapshot that lags the live Open Food Facts database; drop it to run the same tag filters against the current data.
sort_byNoSort order, applied on every search. Each value orders newest or highest first: "unique_scans_n" surfaces the most-scanned products, "last_modified_t" and "created_t" the most recently updated and newest records, "popularity_key" the most popular. Omitting it leaves text searches relevance-ranked and tag-only searches in the default order.
page_sizeNoResults per page (default 20). One call returns at most 50: a larger value is served at 50, reported in page_size and page_size_capped, and page then counts pages of 50. Keep low for initial exploration; increase for comparison workflows.
brands_tagNoBrand slug (lowercased, hyphenated). Example: "nutella", "kelloggs". A brand name is slugged the way Open Food Facts slugs it ("Ben & Jerry's" → "ben-jerry-s") and then matched exactly — a partial or misspelled slug matches nothing rather than falling back to a near match, so put open-ended brand wording in query instead.
labels_tagNoCanonical label/certification tag ID, or an array of up to 10 that must all apply. Example: "en:organic", or ["en:organic", "en:fair-trade"] for products carrying both. Use off_browse_taxonomy with facet="labels".
nova_groupNoFilter by NOVA food processing class. "1"=unprocessed/minimally processed, "4"=ultra-processed. Products without a NOVA score are excluded.
traces_tagNoCanonical allergen tag ID the label warns the product may contain as a trace ("may contain nuts"). Example: "en:nuts". Trace tags are allergen tags, so off_browse_taxonomy with facet="allergens" resolves them. Selects products carrying the warning; to leave them out, use exclude_traces.
additives_tagNoCanonical additive (E-number) tag ID. Example: "en:e322", "en:e330". Use off_browse_taxonomy with facet="additives". Available only on searches carrying neither query nor nutrient_filters — both route to a backend with no additives field, so combining them is rejected instead of silently returning nothing.
allergens_tagNoCanonical allergen tag ID. Example: "en:milk", "en:gluten". Use off_browse_taxonomy with facet="allergens". Selects products that declare this allergen; it cannot select allergen-free products, because a product with no allergen tags may simply have none entered yet. To leave an allergen out, use exclude_allergens.
countries_tagNoCanonical country tag ID. Example: "en:france", "en:united-states". Filters to products sold in that country.
categories_tagNoCanonical category tag ID. Example: "en:breakfast-cereals", "en:cheeses". Use off_browse_taxonomy with facet="categories" to discover valid values.
exclude_tracesNoAllergen tag IDs a product's label must not warn it may contain as traces, all applied. Example: ["en:nuts"]. Values are validated like exclude_allergens. A product with no trace data entered passes, so check a candidate with off_get_product before relying on it.
nutrition_gradeNoFilter by Nutri-Score grade. "a" is highest nutritional quality, "e" is lowest. Products without a score are excluded.
nutrient_filtersNoNumeric constraints on nutrient values per 100 g, or per 100 ml for liquids, combined as AND with each other and with every other filter. Pair two entries on the same nutrient to express a range (e.g. sugars gte 2 and sugars lte 8). Served only by the text backend, so supplying one routes the search there even without query — it then reads the lagging text index and is subject to the 10,000-result page window, and additives_tag cannot be combined with it. The text index compares energy-kcal, fat, saturated-fat, carbohydrates, sugars as whole numbers, so every returned row is checked against these constraints: a row outside them leaves the page and counts in outside_constraints, and a nutrient the index holds no value for does not count against a row. A page can come back short or empty while later pages hold matches, and a range inside one whole number (sugars gt 3.9 and lt 4) can pass few rows of the 10,000 reachable, so add query or tag filters to narrow it. Per-serving and prepared-product values are not searchable.
exclude_allergensNoAllergen tag IDs a product must not declare, all applied. Example: ["en:nuts", "en:peanuts"]. Each value must be an allergen tag Open Food Facts recognizes — resolve it with off_browse_taxonomy facet="allergens" — and one it does not recognize is rejected rather than sent, because it would exclude nothing. A product with no allergen data entered passes an exclusion, so check a candidate with off_get_product before relying on it.
ingredients_analysis_tagNoVegan, vegetarian, or palm-oil verdict Open Food Facts computes from the parsed ingredients. Example: "en:vegan", "en:palm-oil-free". "en:maybe-vegan" and "en:may-contain-palm-oil" mean the ingredients could not settle it, and the "-unknown" values mean no verdict could be computed.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
capNoThe page_size that was applied.
pageNoCurrent page number (1-based).
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
shownNoNumber of products returned on this page.
totalNoMatching products in the database for this search. Exact unless total_is_lower_bound is true, in which case at least this many match and the real figure is unknown. On a search constraining a nutrient the text index compares as a whole number (see nutrient_filters) this is its whole-number answer, which can include rows those constraints rule out.
noticeNoGuidance about this result set — echoes the filters and suggests how to broaden when nothing matched, names the current page and how far the backend will actually paginate when more results exist, or, on a page that returned no rows because it lies past the last match or every row was left off, says which page to request instead. When rows outside nutrient_filters emptied the page and more rows can be reached or lie past the window, it also suggests adding query or tag filters.
omittedNoMatches on this page left off because Open Food Facts stores them under a code it cannot serve (not 4–40 digits once leading zeros are stripped), so off_get_product could not look them up either. Absent when none was. total still counts them.
productsNoMatching products. Use barcodes with off_get_product for full label data.
last_pageNoDeepest page of this result set that holds products and can be requested, at the page_size served — capped at page 10 on a search by tag filters alone and by the 10000-result window on a search the text index answers. Absent when total_is_lower_bound is true — the total it would divide is the ceiling the backend stopped counting at, so no exact last page exists — and when nothing matched at all. On a search constraining a whole-number nutrient it counts pages of the whole-number answer, so a page up to it can list few products or none.
page_sizeNoThe page_size served: the one requested, or 50 when a larger one was requested. page and last_page count pages of this size.
truncatedNoTrue when more results exist beyond this page. Absent on the final page of a result set.
page_countNoProducts returned on this page — page_size except on the last page, or when a match stored under a code Open Food Facts cannot serve or a row outside nutrient_filters was left off. Not the total number of pages.
page_size_cappedNoPresent only when page_size was above 50: names the page_size requested and the 50 served, and, when a further page holds matches and can be requested, the page to request next and the results it holds.
exclusion_coverageNoPresent only on searches carrying exclude_allergens or exclude_traces. States that products with no allergen or trace data entered pass an exclusion, so a result is not confirmed free of the excluded allergens, and names the off_get_product fields to check.
outside_constraintsNoRows the text index returned on this page that fail nutrient_filters on their indexed values, compared at the 32-bit precision the index uses, and so left off. The index returns them because it compares some nutrients as whole numbers. Separate from omitted, whose rows are matches; a row both unservable and outside counts only in omitted. total, total_is_lower_bound, and last_page still count these rows, and each page keeps its place in the result set. Absent when none was.
text_index_snapshotNoPresent only on searches the text backend answered. States that those results come from an index snapshot that lags the live Open Food Facts database, so a recently contributed product can be missing from them while the tag-only path still returns it. On a search carrying nutrient_filters it also echoes the constraints and says they were checked against the index values each row carries as indexed_nutriments, which can differ from what off_get_product returns. When a constraint falls on a whole-number nutrient (see nutrient_filters) it also says that total, total_is_lower_bound, and last_page describe the whole-number answer and that rows outside the constraints count in outside_constraints. Absent on tag-only searches, which read the live database.
total_is_lower_boundNoTrue when the backend stopped counting at its ceiling and total is a floor, not the match total. Only text searches can hit it; add filters to bring the result set under the ceiling and get an exact count. On a search constraining a whole-number nutrient the floor is on the whole-number answer, not on the products that meet the constraints.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld, yet the description adds non-obvious behavior the annotations cannot: text searches hit a lagging snapshot while tag-only searches hit live data, results are capped at 10,000 with page-10 limits, crowd-sourced counts do not equal market product counts, and allergen exclusions silently pass products with no allergen data entered. The ODbL attribution requirement is a further operational constraint worth disclosing.

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?

Front-loaded and dense with information — purpose, return shape, combination semantics, index caveat, licensing — and no filler sentences. It does, however, restate a fair amount of what the very rich parameter descriptions already say (nutrient_filters thresholds, additives exclusion), making the block longer than strictly necessary for a tool whose schema is fully documented.

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?

For a 17-parameter search tool with an output schema, this covers everything an agent needs to call it correctly: scaffolding requirements, filter combination logic, index-lag consequences, result caps, and the trust caveat on allergen exclusions. Return values need not be described at length because an output schema exists, and the description gives just enough triage context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

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 real meaning on top: how query words combine with tag filters (every word, every filter must hold), that query and nutrient_filters both route to the lagging text index, that additives_tag is the lone exception, and that tag values are canonical IDs resolved through off_browse_taxonomy. It also flags that case/synonym variants are canonicalized while anything else matches exactly.

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?

Opens with a specific verb+resource+scope ("Search Open Food Facts by full-text query, structured tag filters, or both at once") and immediately states what comes back (barcodes, names, brands, Nutri-Score, NOVA, categories). It also names the sibling off_get_product as the follow-up for full label data, so an agent can separate this from off_compare_products and off_get_product without reading a schema.

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 routes to alternatives: use off_get_product on returned barcodes for full details, use off_browse_taxonomy to resolve human terms to tag IDs, and use tag-only search when current data matters. It also states the hard precondition ("At least one search parameter is required"), the additive-filter exclusion, and the nutrient_filters/additives_tag incompatibility — a complete when/when-not picture.

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