get_order_detail_tool

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses the max-50-ID limit, and 'Get' implies a safe read, but it says nothing about auth/permission requirements, behavior for unknown or partial IDs, or pagination. The presence of an output schema removes the need to describe return values.

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

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

Two compact sentences with no filler, and the primary action is front-loaded. The parenthetical limit is well-placed. Minor room for tightening but nothing is wasted.

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

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

For a 2-parameter lookup tool with an output schema and no annotations, the description covers the main scope and the 50-ID limit, but omits permission/auth context and sibling routing, leaving gaps an agent would have to guess at.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds real meaning for both parameters: a 50-ID cap on order_ids and that seller_name selects the shop. However, it does not specify ID format/type beyond the schema, nor what happens if seller_name is omitted (default null).

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

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

States a specific verb and resource: 'Get detailed information for specific TikTok Shop orders'. Clear and actionable, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling get_shop_orders_tool, which occupies similar territory, so an agent must infer the list-vs-detail distinction.

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

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

Usage is implied by 'specific TikTok Shop orders' with the '(max 50 IDs)' scoping hint, but there is no explicit when-to-use versus when-not guidance and no named alternative to get_shop_orders_tool. The 'Use seller_name to specify which shop' line is parameter guidance rather than selection guidance.

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