Sales ranks

get_sales_ranks
Read-only

Use for latest Best Sellers Rank (BSR) across catalog ASINs, with rank, category, title, and brand. Each row carries two grains of BSR: sales_rank/sales_rank_category is the most specific (sub)category rank, and main_category_rank/main_category is the top-level department rank (the headline '#N in '). Grain: one row per ranked ASIN. Do not use for keyword rank tracking or actual sales velocity; use ranking tools or get_sales_velocity.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
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 bysales_rank
max_rankNoOnly show ASINs with BSR (subcategory sales_rank) <= this value
sort_orderNoSort order (asc = best rank first)asc
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.
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.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare this a safe, closed-world read (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false), so the bar is lower. The description adds real value by disclosing the output grain ('one row per ranked ASIN') and the dual-grain semantics of the rank columns. It does not mention pagination or row-cap behavior, but the parameter schema covers that.

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?

Front-loaded with the use case, then grain and column semantics, then the negative routing rule. Every sentence carries distinct information with no restatement of the name or title.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not required, and the description still supplies the interpretation of the two rank grains plus the row grain. Exclusions route the agent away from the two nearest adjacent use cases, which is enough for an 8-parameter read-only listing tool.

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, and the description earns above baseline by explaining what sales_rank vs main_category_rank actually mean, which directly clarifies the sort_by options and the subcategory-vs-department distinction. It does not explain max_rank interplay with main_category_rank, keeping it short of a 5.

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 ('latest Best Sellers Rank (BSR) across catalog ASINs') and enumerates the returned fields (rank, category, title, brand). It is clearly separable from siblings such as get_keyword_ranks, get_current_rank, and get_sales_velocity without opening any 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 an explicit exclusion ('Do not use for keyword rank tracking or actual sales velocity') and names get_sales_velocity as the alternative. The routing for keyword rank tracking is left as a vague collective ('ranking tools') rather than naming get_keyword_ranks, which is the one small gap.

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