Orders_getOrders

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full disclosure burden. It does disclose the execution environment and the read-style behavior of returning filtered orders, but it omits details like output shape, pagination, or any authorization expectations.

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 compact and front-loads the behavioral caveat about running in the Kuudo deployment. 'Catalog entry' is somewhat vague but does not add meaningful bloat.

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 mentions a time period, but the input schema has no parameters to express it, leaving an agent without a clear way to specify the filter. With no output schema and no parameter details, the description is not complete enough for reliable invocation.

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?

There are no declared parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds the concept of a specified time period even though the input schema exposes no properties, which is useful context even without parameter names or formats.

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 specifies a concrete action and resource ('Returns orders') and narrows the scope to orders created or updated within a time period, which helps distinguish it from single-order operations like Orders_getOrder. The phrase 'Catalog entry' is ambiguous, but the core purpose is still identifiable.

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 conveys an important context: the tool runs in the customer's Kuudo deployment rather than in this environment. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over Orders_getOrder, Ordersv2_searchOrders, or other order-listing siblings, so usage guidance is mostly implied.

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