panera_item_options

Retrieve a Panera menu item's selectable option groups, including combo slots or customizable toppings, with min/max selections and pricing; returns empty list for non-customizable items.

Instructions

Get one Panera Bread menu item's selectable option groups. Returns one item's selectable option groups: for a combo, each group is a slot to fill (for example "pick 4 sandwiches", "pick 1 soup"), listing every eligible choice; for a single customizable item, each group is one topping/add-in/amount choice (for example No, Light, Regular, Extra). Each group has min_allowed and max_allowed (how many selections it requires). Each option is one selectable choice, with its own selectable variants (amount tiers) each carrying an item_id and price -- price 0 for a variant included at no extra charge. Panera does not publish a resolved display name for options or groups on this surface, so each option carries its raw upstream image_key as the caller-facing identifier instead of a name. An item that is not customizable, or an unknown item id, returns an empty groups list rather than an error -- Panera's own API does not distinguish the two cases. Item ids come from GET /panera/menu.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations present, the description carries the full disclosure burden, and it does so thoroughly. It covers the empty-list behavior for non-customizable items, min_allowed/max_allowed semantics, variant pricing with free price-0 tiers, and the lack of display names with raw image_key identifiers.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is dense but well-structured, starting with the core purpose and then building out necessary details about groups, options, pricing, identifiers, and error behavior. It is longer than minimal, but most sentences add distinct information; the opening and second sentence are slightly redundant.

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?

Without an output schema, the description must explain the return shape itself, and it does: groups have min_allowed/max_allowed, options have tiers with item_id and price, and identifiers are raw image_keys. It also covers the surprising empty-response behavior for both non-customizable and unknown items, which is critical for correct agent behavior.

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 coverage is 100%, with both cafe_id and item_id described as coming from other Panera endpoints. The description does not add materially new parameter semantics beyond what the schema already states, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 opening sentence clearly names a specific verb and resource: 'Get one Panera Bread menu item's selectable option groups.' It explains the concept in enough detail to distinguish it from simple menu-listing or item-detail tools, but it does not explicitly call out sibling tools such as panera_item_detail or panera_menu.

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?

The description implies strong usage context: use this tool when you need the selectable option groups for a single menu item, including min/max selections and per-option pricing. It also provides the practical note that item ids come from GET /panera/menu. However, it never directly addresses when not to use it versus sibling tools.

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