commerce_storefront_publish

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

The annotations already indicate readOnly=false and destructive=true, but the description adds no specific side-effect information. It does not clarify what is published, whether it overwrites, or what permissions are needed beyond the generic JWT/tenant/scope note.

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 free of fluff, with a clear structure and the argument list included. It is concise, though the content is semantically thin.

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?

For an action named storefront_publish, the description does not explain what 'publish' means in this context, what happens after execution, or how the output schema relates to the result. It is too incomplete for an agent to use confidently.

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 has zero parameter descriptions. The description provides only generic labels ('Free-text objective', 'Optional JSON string of structured inputs') without explaining what should go into message or what keys/values inputs should contain for storefront_publish.

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 essentially restates the tool name ('Run the commerce domain agent action storefront_publish') without explaining what storefront_publish actually does. It lacks a specific verb and resource, and does not differentiate it from sibling tools.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any conditions or exclusions. The only added context is routing through a domain-agent dispatcher, which is not usage guidance.

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