Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
case_idNoThe case this call continues, from an earlier result. Omit to start a new product case.
marketsNoOptional destination-market hints. Omit when product_description names the destination.
categoryNoOptional structured category hint. Canonical IDs and common English/Chinese labels are accepted. Omit when product_description contains enough information for extraction.
languageNoLanguage for seller-facing text. Questions and messages come back in it; en or zh.zh
age_groupNoIntended user age. Decides whether toy safety rules apply and which small-parts and warning duties follow.
has_radioNoWhether the product transmits: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, or any other radio. Decides the RED conformity route in the EU and FCC authorisation in the US.
has_batteryNoWhether the product contains or ships with any battery, including a coin cell in a remote.
battery_typeNoCell chemistry. Decides whether UN 38.3 transport testing and battery-passport duties apply. Use unknown rather than guessing.
product_nameNoHuman-readable product or SKU name
evidence_heldNoEvidence IDs the seller already holds, from a previous result's evidence_checklist. Marks each item held rather than unknown; it does not verify the document.
sales_channelNoWhere the product is sold. Marketplaces impose their own evidence requests on top of the legal requirements.
verified_onlyNoExclude decision rules not checked against primary sources
supply_chain_roleNoThe seller's role in the chain. Decides which duties are theirs rather than the manufacturer's or importer's.
applicable_modulesNoOptional additional modules that should be assessed together with the primary category, for example toys plus battery-electronics.
product_descriptionNoPreferred first input: describe the product, destination market, sales channel and any known supplier documents in plain language. The tool extracts a preliminary profile and fills the internal checklist. Required when category/markets are not already supplied.
sells_in_californiaNoWhether the product is sold into California. Proposition 65 warning duties apply on top of federal requirements.
is_childrens_productNoWhether the product is marketed as a children's product; keep unknown when not established.
accessible_small_partsNoWhether a child could reach a part that fits in a small-parts cylinder, including parts freed by reasonably foreseeable use.
evidence_inventory_completeNoTrue only when evidence_notes/evidence_text and evidence_held together form a complete inventory. Otherwise unprovided applicable evidence remains unknown, not missing.
toy_chemical_assessment_completeNoWhether a chemical safety assessment covering migration limits has already been completed for this toy.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful context beyond that: results are returned immediately, the tool reports requirements and evidence rather than issuing certificates, and it does not create or modify anything. No contradiction exists.

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 two tight sentences with no filler. The use condition is front-loaded, followed by the return value and a clear limitation, giving maximum signal per word.

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?

For a complex 20-parameter tool with a rich schema and an output schema, the description captures the essential entry point, result type, and non-issuance boundary. It could go slightly further, such as noting that evidence is reported as held but not verified, though this is already covered in the parameter schema.

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 the structured schema already documents all 20 parameters thoroughly. The description itself does not add parameter-level meaning, which is acceptable at the baseline when the schema carries the full load.

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?

Description states a specific trigger and resource: US importer or broker requests CPC/GCC certification, FCC SDoC, or entry-filing data. It also names the key outputs (certificate requirements, supporting evidence, responsible-party details) and explicitly distinguishes the tool from certificate issuance.

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?

The description clearly opens with 'Use when' and gives the exact circumstances for invoking the tool. It also states what the tool does not do. However, it does not name sibling alternatives or conditions for preferring them, so the when-not guidance is only partial.

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