commerce_trend_synthesis

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

The description mentions routing under JWT, tenant, and company scope, but with zero annotations it does not disclose the action's side effects, required permissions, or safety profile. Critical behavioral traits are missing.

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 relatively concise at three sentences, but includes implementation details (routing, JWT) that are not directly useful for an agent deciding whether to invoke the tool.

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 two parameters, no output description, and no explanation of the trend_synthesis action's purpose or return value, the description lacks essential completeness. Agents cannot predict tool behavior or results.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It labels inputs as 'structured inputs' but provides no format, constraints, examples, or guidance on what constitutes valid values. Agents have minimal actionable info.

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 'Run the commerce domain agent action `trend_synthesis`' but does not explain what trend synthesis actually does or produces. It only describes the routing mechanism, leaving the agent uncertain about the tool's core purpose.

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 sibling commerce tools like commerce_demand_forecast or commerce_pricing_intelligence. The description fails to differentiate use cases.

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