Implementation Reference

  • server.js:315-323 (registration)
    Defines the tool metadata for 'walmart_seller', which is used to register the tool as 'web_data_walmart_seller' with dataset_id 'gd_m7ke48w81ocyu4hhz0', description, and input schema requiring 'url'.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: it's a read operation ('read'), requires a specific input ('valid walmart seller URL'), and may use caching for reliability. However, it lacks details on error handling, rate limits, authentication needs, or output format. The description adds value but leaves gaps for a tool with no structured annotations.

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?

The description is extremely concise and front-loaded: three short sentences with zero waste. The first sentence states the core purpose, the second specifies the required input, and the third adds valuable behavioral context. Every sentence earns its place, making it efficient and easy to parse.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (data extraction with caching), no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the description is moderately complete. It covers purpose, input requirements, and a key behavioral trait (caching), but lacks details on output structure, error cases, or performance characteristics. It's adequate but has clear gaps for informed tool selection.

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?

The input schema has 1 parameter with 0% description coverage, but the description compensates well: it specifies that the 'url' must be a 'valid walmart seller URL,' adding crucial semantic context beyond the schema's generic 'uri' format. This clarifies the parameter's purpose and constraints, making it highly informative despite the schema's lack of descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Quickly read structured walmart seller data.' It specifies the verb ('read'), resource ('walmart seller data'), and scope ('structured'). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'web_data_walmart_product' or 'scrape_as_html', which could handle similar data extraction tasks.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides some usage context: 'Requires a valid walmart seller URL' and 'This can be a cache lookup, so it can be more reliable than scraping.' This implies when to use it (for Walmart seller URLs, preferring reliability) but doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives among the many sibling scraping tools. The guidance is helpful but not comprehensive.

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