list_new_releases

Fetch the 50 new Amazon products ranked by sales for a category in the last 30 days to spot breakout items and new competitors.

Instructions

[Amazon New Releases] Best-selling Top-50 ASINs that hit the market within the last 30 days for a category (backend cap; not 100). Use when: user says "new arrivals in X" / "any breakout new products" / "newly-launched that sell well" / "trending new directions" / "new entrants to monitor"; GTM scouting for new angles; competitor radar catching new entrants. Don't use: for evergreen winners (use list_bestsellers); for full category listings (use list_category_products); when you only have a keyword (use search_categories first). Returns: data.json[0].data.{ reftag='zg_bsnr_g_', recsList } — recsList is a JSON-string array (parse twice); each row { id, metadataMap.{ render.zg.rank, ... } }. Pair with: ↑ categorySlug as in list_bestsellers; ↓ feed id (ASIN) into get_amazon_product to see why it climbed (pitch, pricing, variant strategy). Cost: ~1 point/call, ~5s.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
siteNoAmazon marketplace. Defaults to amz_us.amz_us
formatNoResponse format. Defaults to 'json' — structured ranking list. Use 'markdown' for the rendered page text.json
zipcodeNoZIP code that must match the site country (amz_us → US zip, amz_jp → JP zip, ...). Optional; backend picks a random one from the per-country pool when omitted. Cross-country zips (e.g. amz_us + JP zip) are rejected by the backend. Examples: 10001 (NY) / 90001 (LA) / 100-0001 (Tokyo).
categorySlugYesAmazon New Releases category slug (lowercase, hyphenated). Examples: 'electronics', 'home-garden'. Find these in the URL path on amazon.com/gp/new-releases.
clientSourceNo调用来源标记。仅由 Pangolinfo Skill 传 skill;普通 MCP 调用省略即可。

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations, so the description carries the full burden and largely succeeds: it discloses the ~1 point/5s cost, the backend cap, and a non-obvious return quirk (recsList is a JSON-string that must be parsed twice). It does not cover auth requirements or rate-limit semantics, but the operational cost and data-shape disclosures are more than most tools provide.

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?

Dense but organized into labeled sections (Use when / Don't use / Returns / Pair with / Cost) with the core purpose front-loaded. Every sentence carries actionable information; no filler.

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?

With no output schema, the description compensates by describing the return path and row structure. Combined with pairing guidance and cost, an agent has everything needed to call and interpret this tool correctly.

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% with enums for site/format/clientSource, so parameters are already well documented. The description adds only light context (categorySlug convention 'as in list_bestsellers', reftag slug format) which is marginal beyond the schema's own examples.

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?

States a specific verb+resource+scope: 'Top-50 ASINs that hit the market within the last 30 days for a category', plus an honest backend cap caveat. The 'Don't use' section explicitly names sibling tools (list_bestsellers, list_category_products, search_categories), so an agent can differentiate without opening schemas.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Provides concrete trigger phrases ('new arrivals in X', 'any breakout new products'), use cases (GTM scouting, competitor radar), and explicit exclusions with the alternative tool to use instead for each. This is textbook when/when-not/alternatives guidance.

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