vinted_category

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It states 'Public data, sourced from Vinted's own server-rendered category page', which gives useful sourcing context, but it does not disclose pagination behavior, result structure, or rate limits. This is adequate but not rich.

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?

The description is relatively short but contains redundancy—the first sentence 'Vinted listings for a category.' is restated by the next sentence. The order values list is useful, but the repetitive opening wastes a sentence.

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?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description gives the essential purpose, filters, sort options, and data source, but leaves out return shape and pagination details. It is sufficient for basic invocation but not fully complete for a 5-parameter tool without an output schema.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all five parameters. The description reiterates the order enum values and mentions price filtering, but adds little beyond the schema. It does not elaborate on id provenance or page semantics beyond the schema.

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 uses a specific verb 'Returns' and names the resource 'Vinted listings for a specific category', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like vinted_categories or vinted_item. The mention of optional price filtering and sort order adds useful scope.

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 context is implied ('Returns Vinted listings for a specific category') but no explicit when-to-use vs alternatives is provided. The description does not mention exclusions or alternative tools such as vinted_brand, vinted_catalog, or vinted_item.

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