commerce_customer_value_summary

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

No annotations exist, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects (e.g., read-only vs. mutation), authorization requirements beyond the standard JWT/tenant/company scope, rate limits, or error behavior. The description carries the full burden but provides minimal 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 but not concise in a helpful way. It includes technical jargon about a 'domain-agent dispatcher' that is irrelevant to the agent's understanding. Key information is missing, making the brevity a detriment rather than a virtue.

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?

Although there is an output schema, the description fails to give any high-level indication of what the tool returns (e.g., a summary of customer value). The agent is left without enough context to understand the tool's role within the commerce domain.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds some value by explaining that 'message' is a free-text objective and 'inputs' is an optional JSON string. However, it does not specify the expected structure of 'inputs' or what constitutes a valid objective, leaving significant ambiguity for the agent.

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 only states 'Run the commerce domain agent action `customer_value_summary`', which is essentially a tautology. It does not explain what a customer value summary is or what the tool computes. Compared to sibling tools like commerce_customer_360 or commerce_customer_profile, the purpose is unclear.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as commerce_customer_profile or commerce_customer_360. There are no conditions or exclusions mentioned.

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