etsy_listing_images_reorder

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It indicates a mutation ('reorder') but lacks details on side effects, how order is replaced, required permissions, or error scenarios. Minimal behavioral disclosure.

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?

Description is a single, front-loaded sentence of 11 words with no fluff. Efficiently communicates the core action, though slightly under-specified.

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?

No output schema exists, and description does not mention return values or success/failure indicators. For a simple but impactful mutation, it should inform the agent of expected response or confirmation.

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 low (33%, only listing_image_ids has a description). The tool description adds no extra info about shop_id or listing_id. With low coverage, description fails to compensate for missing parameter explanations.

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?

The description clearly states the tool reorders images for a listing using an ordered array of IDs. The verb 'reorder' and resource 'listing images' are specific, and it distinguishes from siblings like etsy_listing_image_set_rank (single image) and etsy_listing_images_list (listing images).

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like set_rank. No mention of prerequisites, when not to use, or expected context. The description only states the function without usage direction.

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