B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses that prices are locked for 15 minutes and that items are validated, but it lacks details about quote expiration behavior, whether a quote can be converted to an order, authentication needs, or failure modes.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the core action and lock duration, then the key SKU constraint. No wasted language.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No annotations, no output schema, and zero schema description coverage make this a complex call with significant undocumented behavior. The description covers price locking and a SKU rule but omits return values, quote lifecycle, conversion path, and error handling details.

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 0%, so the description needs to compensate. It adds an important SKU-format rule for merch items, but it does not explain the items array structure, quantity limits/defaults, or other constraints already encoded only in the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific operation: validate items and lock a price for 15 minutes. It is clear what the tool does, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings such as create_order or alley_pricing.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

It gives one usage constraint — merch items must use variant SKUs — but does not say when to use this tool versus create_order or other catalog/pricing tools. There are no exclusions or explicit alternative-selection guidance.

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