Publish an image onto a Shopify product

publish_to_shopify_product

Attach a finished image to one of the merchant's Shopify product listings, as product media. Pass productId (from list_shopify_products — the gid://shopify/Product/… form) and a PUBLIC https imageUrl, which is what every Hermoso render returns. Shopify fetches the image server-side and processes it asynchronously, so the media can come back status PROCESSING and appear on the listing a moment later — that is success, not a failure. Only works for accounts created by installing Hermoso from the Shopify App Store. Free — the render was already paid for.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description discloses that Shopify fetches the image asynchronously and that PROCESSING status is success, not failure, which prevents misinterpretation. It also states the imageUrl must be publicly accessible and that the operation is free because the render is already paid for. These details go beyond the annotations, which only mark it as a non-read-only, open-world, non-idempotent operation.

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 a single paragraph that conveys the action, parameter constraints, async behavior, prerequisite, and cost in a compact form without redundancy. It front-loads the action and then details key requirements.

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 tool with no output schema, the description explains the asynchronous processing and clarifies that PROCESSING status is a success, preventing false failure reports. It also covers the prerequisite for Shopify App Store installs, making it self-contained enough for an agent to call correctly.

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?

The schema already describes all three parameters, but the description adds crucial constraints: productId must be in gid://shopify/Product/... form from list_shopify_products, and imageUrl must be public https and is typically a Hermoso render. This helps the agent select correct values, though the schema coverage is 100% so the description is supplementary.

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 verb 'Attach' and the resource 'Shopify product listings' and specifies the action as adding product media. It distinguishes from generic posting tools by focusing on product media attachment. The purpose is unambiguous and distinct from siblings like set_product_image.

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 explicitly instructs to pass productId from list_shopify_products with the gid form and requires a public https imageUrl. It also states a prerequisite: accounts must be created via Hermoso from Shopify App Store. However, it does not name alternative tools or exclusion conditions, so a clear when-not-to-use is missing.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

With 293 tools, the surface is enormous and many tools have overlapping purposes—multiple posting tools (post_to_meta, post_to_linkedin, schedule_post, etc.), multiple analytics tools per channel, and several search tools (search_meta_ads, search_instagram, search_reddit...). While each description is detailed, the volume makes it difficult for an agent to reliably distinguish between similar tools without careful reading, leading to frequent misselection.

Naming Consistency4/5

The naming is largely consistent with a verb_noun pattern (post_to_*, list_*, create_*, delete_*, update_*, manage_*). There are clear families for major operations. A few outliers like 'google_business_account', 'hermoso_capabilities', and 'store_get' break the pattern, but the overwhelming majority follow a predictable structure, making navigation somewhat easier.

Tool Count1/5

293 tools is far beyond any reasonable scope for a single MCP server, even for a comprehensive marketing platform. The calibration guide flags 50+ as an extreme mismatch, and this is nearly six times that threshold. Such a large surface overwhelms context windows, increases the probability of misselection, and makes it impractical for agents to learn or use effectively.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a vast domain: ad creation and rendering, posting across nine+ social channels, analytics and reporting, file management (Drive/OneDrive), competitor research, brand management, and more. It appears to provide CRUD and lifecycle coverage for most resources. While there may be minor gaps given the immense scope, the overall coverage is impressively comprehensive.
