ucp_create_checkout

Idempotent

Create a UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) checkout session from line items. Returns a UCP checkout object with status 'incomplete'. Starts the UCP flow (ucp_* tools); for the standard flow use create_cart instead. Do not mix the two flows on the same purchase. Checkout guide: read the MCP resource trusteed://guides/checkout.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, idempotent=true and destructive=false, so the write/idempotency profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context: the returned object has status 'incomplete' (i.e. this is only the first step of a multi-call flow) and that the UCP flow must not be interleaved with the cart flow. It does not describe failure modes or what invalidates the session.

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?

Five short sentences, each carrying a distinct fact (purpose, return state, flow routing, cross-flow warning, guide pointer) with the purpose front-loaded. Nothing is padded or repeated.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a 7-parameter nested-object write tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential flow context and the returned status. The only slight gap is next-step guidance (e.g. that ucp_complete_checkout finalizes the session), which the agent can infer from the sibling names.

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 100%, so every parameter — including the ignored price/title fields, the variant_id requirement, and the idempotency_key — is already documented in the schema. The description only gestures at 'line items' and adds no syntax or format detail beyond it, so baseline 3 applies.

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 and resource ('Create a UCP checkout session from line items') and names the sibling it competes with ('for the standard flow use create_cart instead'). An agent can distinguish it from create_cart and the other ucp_* tools without opening a schema.

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?

Explicitly routes the agent: use this to start the UCP flow, use create_cart for the standard flow, and do not mix the two on the same purchase. It also points to the checkout guide resource for further context.

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