packages_reseller_new_api

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It does not state whether this is a read-only operation, whether it returns a list or a single package, or what side effects, if any, it has. Mentioning the endpoint path adds some context, but not enough behavioral transparency.

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 has no wasted words, but the main sentence is an incomplete noun phrase rather than a clear directive. The Args block is compact and helpful, but the lack of a clear verb hurts overall structure.

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?

With only one optional parameter and an output schema present, the complexity is low, but the description still omits essential context. It does not state the default behavior when package is absent, nor does it indicate how this tool relates to packages_reseller_list. A complete definition would say 'List reseller packages; optionally filter by package name.'

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning to the parameter. It does clarify that 'package' is an optional name used in the URL path /api/reseller-packages/{package}, which is useful. However, it does not explain what happens when package is omitted, such as whether all reseller packages are returned.

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 says 'Reseller packages via the New API' but uses no verb, so the operation is implied rather than stated. It also does not differentiate from the sibling packages_reseller_list, which likely targets the same resource. The endpoint path is the only concrete clue, but the agent must infer that this fetches reseller packages.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. In particular, packages_reseller_list is a close sibling, but the description never explains when one should be chosen over the other. The optional package argument hints at singular vs collective behavior, but this is not made explicit.

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