Inventory by fulfillment center

get_inventory_by_fulfillment_center
Read-only

Per-fulfillment-center on-hand inventory. Returns the absolute ending warehouse balance per ASIN, SKU, fulfillment center (FC code like ONT8), and disposition, plus the day's signed flow components (receipts, customer shipments, customer returns, warehouse transfers, in-transit). Use when the user asks about per-warehouse or geographic distribution of inventory. Account-level inventory snapshots do not provide this warehouse breakdown. Source: Amazon Inventory Ledger Summary View (GET_LEDGER_SUMMARY_VIEW_DATA, aggregateByLocation:FC). Defaults to the most recent snapshot date. Ledger summary data is account/region-level (no native marketplace): rows surface tenant-wide for any key and are anchored to the tenant's primary marketplace.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
skuNoFilter by SKU
asinNoFilter by ASIN
limitNoMax rows (1-1000, default 20).
offsetNoPagination offset (0-100000, default 0). Use the returned pagination.next_offset to continue.
sort_byNoColumn to sort byending_warehouse_balance
sort_orderNoSort orderdesc
dispositionNoFilter by disposition (e.g. SELLABLE, CUSTOMER_DAMAGED, DEFECTIVE).
snapshot_dateNoSnapshot date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to the latest available date in the ledger summary.
include_raw_rowsNoFor tabular results, false returns compact rows capped at MCP_TEXT_ROW_PREVIEW_LIMIT (default 10), regardless of limit. Complete-page and custom non-tabular responses may ignore this option; see tool-specific notes. Default true; large full-row responses are capped separately. Freshness fields require include_diagnostics=true in either row mode, where supported.
fulfillment_centerNoFilter by a specific fulfillment center code (e.g. ONT8).
include_diagnosticsNoTrue enables expanded freshness diagnostics. Where supported, snapshot_capture_at and snapshot_data_through_date are populated only when include_diagnostics=true, in both compact and full-row modes; values may still be null if source data is unavailable. Default false. Basic empty-result data-window diagnostics are included by default when available.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare this as a non-destructive read, so the description's job is to add behavior — and it does: default snapshot date, the source view and aggregation (GET_LEDGER_SUMMARY_VIEW_DATA, aggregateByLocation:FC), and a non-obvious caveat that ledger data is account/tenant-wide with no native marketplace dimension. That last point materially changes how an agent should interpret and present results.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The core definition is front-loaded, followed by return contents, usage trigger, then source/caveats — a sensible ordering. The final tenant-wide/marketplace sentence is long and dense, but it carries genuinely load-bearing information rather than filler.

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 an 11-parameter, zero-required inventory query with an output schema, the description covers what the tool is, when to use it, what the rows contain, default time behavior, and the cross-marketplace limitation. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly and interpret the output.

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 coverage is 100% with documented defaults and enums, so the schema already carries parameter meaning. The description adds some context for snapshot_date defaulting and the FC code format, but says nothing about the filter combinations (sku, asin, disposition, fulfillment_center) or how sort_by affects pagination. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 states a specific verb and resource (per-fulfillment-center on-hand inventory), enumerates the row grain (ASIN, SKU, FC, disposition) plus the flow components returned, and explicitly contrasts this with account-level inventory snapshots. An agent can distinguish it from get_fba_inventory or get_awd_inventory without opening the schema.

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?

It gives a clear when-to-use trigger ('per-warehouse or geographic distribution of inventory') and a when-not signal ('account-level inventory snapshots do not provide this warehouse breakdown'). It stops short of naming the specific sibling tools that cover the account-level case, so the routing decision still requires a small inference.

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