Merchant Center data sources

merchant_data_sources
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve Merchant Center feed details—labels, countries, languages, and fetch URLs—to inspect product data source configuration for a client.

Instructions

Merchant Center data sources (feeds): labels, countries, languages, fetch URLs.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
client_idNoClient id from clients_list. Required when several clients are registered; empty uses the only client (or the environment variables when there is no client registry)

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the practical detail that results include labels, countries, languages, and fetch URLs, which tells the agent what the feed records contain, but it says nothing about scoping, pagination, or per-account behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single short sentence with the resource and returned fields front-loaded and zero filler. It is slightly clipped as a verbless fragment, which costs a little clarity but nothing is wasted.

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?

For a simple read-only tool with one optional parameter, full schema coverage, and annotations carrying the safety profile, the description supplies the one thing structured data does not: the fields a data source record exposes. Missing only secondary detail like result scoping or pagination.

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% and the single client_id parameter is fully documented in the schema, including the condition for when it is required. The description adds no parameter-level detail, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

The description names a specific resource, Merchant Center data sources, and disambiguates with the parenthetical alias '(feeds)', which separates it from siblings like merchant_products and merchant_account_issues. However, it never states the operation (list/get), so the agent must infer that this is a read/list call from the noun phrase alone.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no mention of alternatives, and no note about prerequisites such as when a merchant account must be configured first. The agent gets a resource name and a field list but nothing that routes it between this tool and the other merchant_* siblings.

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