Orders

get_orders

Read-only

Use to inspect or filter channel-complete individual order headers from the Orders API by seller reporting date, status, ASIN, or fulfillment channel. Grain: one row per order. Includes explicit Non-Amazon/Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) channels and returns sales_channel on each row. Omitting start_date/end_date returns only the trailing 90 days ending today — for any prior period (a past month or last year, e.g. year-over-year) you MUST pass explicit start_date and end_date. The asin filter matches order headers containing that ASIN (gross, including cancelled/zero-quantity orders), not units sold. purchase_date is the seller reporting date; purchase_at and purchase_date_utc are included for UTC audit. Pending orders can have order_total_amount=null because Amazon has not finalized the order total yet. Individual order headers are not Amazon marketplace sales totals; use get_sales_summary for daily totals or product-level sales tools for ASIN/SKU breakdowns.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`asin`	No	Filter orders containing this ASIN
`limit`	No	Maximum number of orders to return (max 200, default 20)
`offset`	No	Pagination offset (0-100000, default 0). Use the returned pagination.next_offset to continue.
`sort_by`	No	Column to sort by	purchase_date
`end_date`	No	Optional. YYYY-MM-DD end date for seller reporting purchase_date. The range may span at most 366 days.
`sort_order`	No	Sort direction	desc
`start_date`	No	Optional. YYYY-MM-DD start date for seller reporting purchase_date. The range may span at most 366 days.
`order_status`	No	Filter by order status (e.g. Pending, Shipped, Canceled)
`include_raw_rows`	No	For 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_channel`	No	Filter by fulfillment channel: AFN (FBA) or MFN (merchant)
`include_diagnostics`	No	True 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.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

With readOnlyHint/destructiveHint=false already covering the safety profile, the description still adds real behavioral context: the implicit 90-day default window, that pending orders can legitimately carry order_total_amount=null, and that the asin filter matches gross headers including cancelled/zero-quantity orders. It stops short of describing pagination/row-cap behavior (include_raw_rows, offset continuation), which is left entirely to the schema.

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?

It is front-loaded with grain and scope, then the date-window warning, then data caveats, then sibling disambiguation — a sensible order with no filler. It is on the long side and the purchase_at/purchase_date_utc sentence is somewhat incidental, but nearly every clause carries decision-relevant information.

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, read-only query tool with a full output schema and annotations, the description covers everything an agent needs: what the grain is, what the defaults do, how filtering behaves, and which sibling to choose instead. Return-value detail is correctly delegated to the output schema.

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%, so every parameter is already documented; baseline is 3. The description does add genuine meaning beyond the schema for asin ('matches order headers containing that ASIN ... not units sold') and for the date pair (default trailing window, purchase_date as the seller reporting date), so it earns slightly above baseline but not full credit since sort/pagination/diagnostic parameters are untouched.

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 names a specific verb+resource ('inspect or filter channel-complete individual order headers from the Orders API'), states the exact grain ('one row per order'), and explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling tools that could be confused with it (get_sales_summary, product-level sales tools).

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?

It gives a concrete when-to-use rule for the most common failure mode ('Omitting start_date/end_date returns only the trailing 90 days ... you MUST pass explicit start_date and end_date' for YoY or past months) and routes the agent to named alternatives when daily totals or per-ASIN/SKU breakdowns are actually wanted.

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