commerce_pricing_intelligence

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions routing through a dispatcher with JWT/tenant/company scope but fails to disclose whether the action is read-only, mutating, safe, or what side effects it may have. This is insufficient for an agent to understand behavioral impact.

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 moderately concise at 3 sentences plus an args list. However, the first sentence 'Run the commerce domain agent action `pricing_intelligence`' is nearly tautological and adds little value. The rest is adequate but not optimally front-loaded.

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 tool has an output schema but the description omits any mention of return values or response format. It does not address idempotency, safety, or what constitutes a successful invocation. For a tool that delegates to an internal action, more context is needed.

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?

The schema coverage is 0%, but the description adds brief explanations for both parameters: 'message' is a free-text objective, 'inputs' is an optional JSON string. This adds value beyond the schema, though it is minimal and does not specify formats, constraints, or examples.

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 states it runs the 'pricing_intelligence' action but does not explain what pricing intelligence does. It is clear that it invokes a specific internal action, but the actual purpose of that action remains vague. Compared to siblings like commerce_pricing_landscape and commerce_price_optimization_run, it lacks functional clarity.

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 on when to use this tool versus the many other commerce pricing tools. The description does not mention any contextual cues, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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