search_products

Read-onlyIdempotent

Search for products in the connected e-commerce store. Searches by name in Salla and Zid product catalogs, and in every other connected store (odoo, shopify, woocommerce) by name, SKU or barcode.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real behavioral context beyond that: it fans out across every connected store by default, and the matching keys differ per platform (name only for Salla/Zid; name, SKU or barcode elsewhere). It omits anything about result ordering or per-store vs. global limits.

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, zero filler, with the core action front-loaded and the platform-specific matching rules following immediately. Every clause carries information an agent would otherwise have to guess.

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 three-parameter read-only search with full schema coverage and rich annotations, the description supplies the remaining decision-relevant facts: cross-store default scope and per-platform match fields. Return-shape details are not required since the tool is a straightforward search and no output schema exists to contradict it.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds meaning the schema does not: the query string may be a name, SKU or barcode depending on the target platform, and the platform parameter's default semantics are spelled out. Only the limit parameter's scope (per store or overall) is left unexplained.

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?

States a specific verb ('search') and resource ('products in the connected e-commerce store'), then narrows exactly what fields are matched on each platform. No sibling tool covers product lookup, and the description makes the resource boundary unmistakable.

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?

Explains the default behavior (search all connected stores when no platform is given) and implicitly tells the agent that SKU/barcode lookups require a non-Salla/Zid platform. It does not name when-not-to-use cases or point to an alternative tool, but there is no competing sibling to route to.

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