search_ebay

価格、状態、購入形式、配送、場所のフィルター付きキーワード検索。

get_listing_details

1件の出品の完全な記録:商品詳細、出品者、返品ポリシー、オークション終了時刻。

find_deals

元の価格から少なくともN%割引されている出品のみを、安い順に表示。

check_ebay_connection

現在の設定を表示し、テスト呼び出しを実行。何かが動作しないときは、最初にこれを実行してください。

search_ebayについて知っておくべきことが2つあります。これはeBayに存在するもので、固定価格カタログにはないものです:

  • buying_optionはauction、buy_it_now、accepts_offersにフィルタリングします。

  • sort: "ending_soonest" — buying_option: "auction"と組み合わせると、まもなく終了するオークションを見つける方法になります。

APIキーの取得

  1. developer.ebay.com/my/keysにサインインします。

  2. アプリケーションを作成し、Productionキーセットを開きます。

  3. **App ID(Client ID)とCert ID(Client Secret)**をコピーします。

以上です。このサーバーはOAuthクライアント・クレデンシャル・フローを使用するため、ユーザートークン、リダイレクトURI、または「RuName」は不要です。

新しい開発者アカウントでは、キーページが開く前にeBayの本人確認を通過する必要がある場合があります——通常、約1営業日かかります。

数値に関する注意事項

  • ランキング対象となるのは総額(商品価格+送料)です。 価格での並べ替えは商品価格プラス送料を使用するため、安い商品でも送料が高い場合は技術的な理由で勝つことはありません。eBay自身の価格ソートは必ずしもこれを実行しません。

  • 総額がない出品もあります。 eBayが送料をチェックアウト時に計算すると報告する場合、配達先住所が判明するまで総額は存在せず、出品には推測ではなくその旨が記載されます。

  • 通貨換算はありません。 価格はeBayが返すとおり、マーケットプレイスの通貨で表示されます。

  • 出品は個別の販売であり、カタログエントリではありません。 ほぼ同一のタイトルを持つ2つの結果でも、状態、バンドル内容、地域が異なる場合があります。同じ商品として扱う前に確認する価値があります。

  • find_dealsは宣伝された割引のみを認識します。 eBayの取り消し線付き「元値」価格でフィルタリングするため、割引を宣伝したことがない本当に安い出品は表示されません。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, but the description adds important behavioral context: 'make one live test call to confirm the credentials work.' This clarifies that despite being read-only, the tool performs an actual network call to the eBay API for testing, which is beyond the basic read-only label. It also implies credential validation, adding value over the annotations.

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?

The description is extremely concise: two sentences, with the purpose front-loaded and the usage guidance immediately after. No wasted words, and it covers purpose, behavior, and usage in a compact form.

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?

Given the tool has no parameters and no output schema, the description fully covers what an agent needs to know: what it does (reports config, tests credentials), when to use it (after a failed search), and the side-effect (live call). It is complete for its simplicity.

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

Parameters4/5

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

There are no parameters in the schema, so the baseline is 4. The description does not need to explain parameters since none exist. It adequately explains the tool's behavior without needing parameter-level detail.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Report how eBay is configured and make one live test call to confirm the credentials work.' This is a specific action (report/test) on a specific resource (eBay configuration), and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like search_ebay and get_listing_details by focusing on connection/credential verification rather than data retrieval.

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 gives explicit when-to-use guidance: 'Run this first whenever a search fails or returns nothing.' This is a clear trigger condition that indicates precedence over sibling tools. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or list alternative tools, so it falls short of a 5.

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

find_dealsFind discounted eBay listingsA
Read-only

Search eBay for listings currently discounted off their original price. Returns only items whose advertised saving meets the threshold, cheapest landed price first.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoHow many listings to scan before filtering (default 25). Raise this if nothing comes back.
queryYesProduct or category to hunt for deals in, e.g. 'mechanical keyboard'.
conditionNoItem condition (default new).
max_priceNoIgnore listings above this price.
min_savings_percentNoMinimum advertised discount off the original price (default 20).

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, covering the safety profile. The description adds behavioral details: it filters by advertised savings threshold and sorts by landed price, which goes beyond the annotations. It does not describe pagination or response format, but with the annotations covering the basic side effects, this is adequate.

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?

The description consists of two concise sentences: the first states the primary action, the second adds the filtering and ordering behavior. There is zero fluff, and every word earns its place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given 5 parameters, no output schema, and helpful annotations, the description is sufficiently complete. It explains the core filtering and ordering behavior, which is the key differentiator. While it doesn't describe return fields or pagination, the simplicity of the tool and schema richness compensate. It could add more detail on the response structure, but it is not critically missing.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage for all 5 parameters, each with its own description. The tool description does not add additional parameter-level clarification beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate per the rubric.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Search' and the resource 'eBay listings' with a specific scope: discounted items meeting a savings threshold. It distinguishes itself from siblings like search_ebay by focusing on advertised discounts and cheapest landed price first, making its purpose unique.

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 when to use it (when seeking discounted items) via its focus on savings thresholds and ordering, but it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions. The existence of sibling tools like search_ebay suggests a differentiation, but no direct comparison is made, so it's clear context without explicit when-not guidance.

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

get_listing_detailsGet eBay listing detailsA
Read-only

Fetch the full record for one eBay listing: price, condition, availability, seller rating, item specifics, return policy, and auction end time. Accepts either the v1|...|0 item id or the legacy numeric id from an eBay URL.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
item_idYeseBay item id — either 'v1|326012345678|0' or the numeric id from the listing URL.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows it's a safe read operation with external side effects. The description adds the specific data returned (price, condition, etc.) but doesn't discuss error behavior, latency, or rate limits. With annotations covering the safety profile, a 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description is two sentences: the first states the purpose with a clear list of fields, the second explains the parameter format. No fluff, front-loaded with the core function.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given a simple single-parameter tool with full schema coverage and safety annotations, the description is complete. It covers what data is returned, which is sufficient. No output schema exists, but the listed fields serve as a partial return description.

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?

The input schema description already explains the item_id formats fully (100% coverage). The tool description reinforces that it accepts either format but adds no new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is correct.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool fetches full details for one eBay listing, enumerating specific data fields (price, condition, availability, seller rating, etc.). It distinguishes from siblings (search_ebay, find_deals) by focusing on a single item rather than searching or finding deals.

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 usage when you need full details for a specific listing, as opposed to search or deals tools. It does not explicitly say when NOT to use it or name alternatives, but the context is clear given the sibling names.

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

search_ebaySearch eBay listingsA
Read-only

Search eBay for listings matching a keyword query, with optional price, condition, buying-format, and shipping filters. Returns title, price, shipping, landed total, seller rating, and a link for each listing. Read-only: this never bids, adds to a cart, or places an order.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sortNoResult ordering (default relevance). 'ending_soonest' is most useful combined with buying_option='auction' to find auctions about to close.
limitNoHow many listings to return (default 10).
queryYesWhat to search for, e.g. 'Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones'.
conditionNoItem condition (default any).
max_priceNoMaximum price, in the marketplace's own currency.
min_priceNoMinimum price, in the marketplace's own currency.
buying_optionNoBuying format (default any). Use 'auction' for bidding, 'buy_it_now' for fixed price.
seller_locationNoTwo-letter country code to restrict where items ship from, e.g. 'US' or 'CA'.
free_shipping_onlyNoOnly return listings that ship free.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds value beyond annotations: it explicitly states 'Read-only: this never bids, adds to a cart, or places an order,' which is more specific than the generic readOnlyHint annotation. It also discloses the output fields (title, price, shipping, etc.), which is a behavioral trait not covered by annotations or schema. No contradiction; this enhances transparency.

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?

The description is two sentences: the first states the core action and filters, the second clarifies read-only behavior. It is front-loaded with the key information and contains zero fluff. Every word serves a purpose, making it highly efficient.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The tool has 9 parameters, but the schema fully documents them, and the description explains what the tool returns and its read-only nature. It lacks mention of pagination or how to interpret structured results, but given the schema coverage and the read-only clarification, the description is complete enough for an agent to invoke correctly. The openWorldHint is not elaborated, but that's acceptable since it's a hint rather than a requirement.

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 description coverage is 100%, so each parameter has detailed descriptions. The tool description itself only gives a high-level overview ('optional price, condition, buying-format, and shipping filters'), adding marginal value beyond the schema. However, it does connect the filters to the search intent, which aligns with the baseline of 3. No specific parameter semantics beyond what schema already provides.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description is specific and action-oriented: 'Search eBay for listings matching a keyword query' with optional filters and a clear list of returned fields (title, price, shipping, landed total, seller rating, link). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on search behavior, and the read-only note further clarifies scope. The verb-resource pair is unambiguous and distinct from check_ebay_connection, get_listing_details, and find_deals.

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?

The description provides some usage context (search for listings, optional filters) but does not explicitly tell when to use this tool over siblings like get_listing_details or find_deals. It also includes a helpful tip in the schema about using 'ending_soonest' with auctions, but that guidance is embedded in the schema description, not the main description. No clear when-not or alternative tool mention, so it is adequate but not explicit.

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

A4.1/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools are clearly distinct: check_ebay_connection, search_ebay, get_listing_details each target different actions. search_ebay and find_deals have some overlap, but find_deals is specifically for discounted listings with a savings threshold, so the boundary is clear enough.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names follow a readable snake_case verb_noun pattern: check_ebay_connection, search_ebay, get_listing_details, find_deals. The only minor inconsistency is using both 'search' and 'find' for similar retrieval actions, but the pattern remains predictable.

Tool Count4/5

Four tools is on the small side but appropriate for a focused eBay look-up server. The surface is tight and avoids unnecessary endpoints, though it is slightly minimal for a general 'shopping' MCP.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers the core read-only shopping workflow: connectivity verification, keyword search, deal discovery, and listing details. It intentionally omits purchase actions, and while category browsing or seller info could be added, the current surface is not severely incomplete.
