list_orders

Read-only

List recent orders for a site, optionally filtered by status (pending, processing, completed, cancelled, refunded). Orders are buyer-private — pass buyer_delegation_token (from this buyer's checkout approval); only that buyer's orders are returned.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that orders are buyer-private and only the token holder's orders are returned, which is valuable behavioral context beyond annotations. However, 'recent' is vague and could be more precise.

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 sentences, front-loading the action and then providing the key constraint. No unnecessary words, every sentence adds value.

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?

Given the presence of output schema and annotations, the description covers input semantics and privacy. It does not mention pagination explicitly (though schema has page/per_page), and 'recent' is vague. Still, it is largely complete for the tool's purpose.

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 descriptions cover 100% of parameters. The description adds meaning by explaining the token's origin (from checkout approval) and the privacy constraint. This supplements the schema without redundancy.

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 tool lists recent orders for a site with optional status filtering. It distinguishes from siblings like get_order (specific order) and get_active_cart (active cart) by focusing on order listing and buyer privacy.

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 provides context on when to use the tool, notably requiring buyer_delegation_token from checkout approval. It does not explicitly exclude usage scenarios or compare to alternatives, but the clear requirement of the token guides appropriate usage.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct action or resource, with detailed descriptions that clearly differentiate cart management, checkout flow, payment steps, delegation, orders, and product operations. Potential overlaps like get_active_cart vs. get_cart are resolved by their specific use cases.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools use a consistent verb_noun_snake_case pattern (e.g., add_to_cart, set_shipping_address). There are no mixing of conventions like camelCase or inconsistent verb styles.

Tool Count4/5

26 tools is on the higher side but appropriate for a comprehensive e-commerce server covering product discovery, cart management, checkout, payment, orders, and reviews. Could potentially be streamlined slightly, but still reasonable.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full e-commerce lifecycle: site listing, product search/compare/reviews, cart CRUD, coupon application, shipping, checkout, payment with delegation and OTP, order retrieval, and back-in-stock alerts. No obvious gaps for typical buyer workflows.
