submit_discovery_job

Explicitly submit an async batch buyer discovery job for a category + country. Returns a job_id; poll it with check_discovery_task until status=completed. Note: find_buyers already auto-starts a background crawl when coverage is thin, so usually you only need this for a forced/fresh deep crawl.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds behavioral context beyond annotations: async nature, returns job_id, requires polling until completed. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Two sentences plus a note, no wasted words, front-loaded with key action and return value.

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, description covers return value, polling mechanism, and usage context relative to find_buyers; sufficient for decision-making.

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 covers 100% parameters with descriptions; description mentions category and country but adds no additional semantic detail beyond the schema.

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 submits an async batch buyer discovery job for a category + country, and distinguishes it from find_buyers by noting that find_buyers auto-starts a crawl while this is for a forced fresh deep crawl.

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 states when to use this tool ('usually only need this for a forced/fresh deep crawl') and contrasts with find_buyers, plus directs polling with check_discovery_task.

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