FulfillmentOutbound_getFeatures

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the behavioral burden. It discloses the execution environment and the return shape (feature list plus enrollment status), but it says nothing about side effects, authentication needs, errors, or pagination.

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 short and mostly front-loaded. 'Catalog entry' is slightly redundant with the following sentence about running in the Kuudo deployment, but the overall structure is efficient and free of fluff.

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?

The description covers the core purpose and environment, but with no output schema or annotations it leaves gaps: how the marketplace is specified, what a 'feature' means in this context, and how this tool differs from sibling feature tools are not explained.

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?

The input schema has zero parameters, giving a baseline of 4. The description adds conceptual meaning by saying results are scoped to a specified marketplace and the seller making the call, though the mechanism for specifying the marketplace is left implicit.

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 what the tool does: it returns a list of Multi-Channel Fulfillment features and whether the calling seller is enrolled for each. This distinguishes it from sibling feature-related tools like getFeatureInventory and getFeatureSKU, though it does not name them explicitly.

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?

The description gives useful scope context: MCF orders, a specified marketplace, and the seller on the call. It also notes that execution happens in the Kuudo deployment, but it does not state when to prefer this tool over related FulfillmentOutbound feature tools or provide exclusions.

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