Open Food Facts MCP Server

getProductAIQuestions

Retrieve AI-generated questions about a food product that need human verification, such as whether it is organic or contains gluten.

Instructions

Get AI-generated questions about a product that need human verification (e.g., "Is this product organic?", "Does this contain gluten?")

Input Schema

barcodeYesProduct barcode (EAN/UPC)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, so description must fully disclose behavior. It does not mention side effects, permissions, or whether the operation is read-only. The examples hint at the type of questions but not the response structure.

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?

Single sentence with examples, no redundant words. Front-loaded with action and context.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description lacks details like return format, number of questions, or any pagination. It leaves the agent guessing about the response.

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?

Only one parameter 'barcode' with full schema description. The tool description adds examples of questions, which gives context to the output but not the parameter itself. Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 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?

Description clearly states the tool gets AI-generated questions about a product needing verification, with examples. It implies specificity to a product via barcode, partially distinguishing from sibling getRandomAIQuestions.

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?

No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, but the purpose and input parameter implicitly suggest usage for a specific product barcode. No comparison with sibling tools.

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