Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It implies a read-only operation but does not explicitly state safety, idempotency, or potential side effects. It also omits details like authentication requirements, rate limits, or whether the result is paginated.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise at two sentences, front-loading the core purpose. It includes both the primary action and the parameter explanation. However, it lacks structural elements like a separate usage section or clear separation of concerns.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers the single parameter adequately. An output schema exists, so return value details are not required. However, it does not mention default limit behavior, whether the list is complete or paginated, or error conditions. For a simple list tool, it is minimally adequate.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 0% description coverage for the 'limit' parameter. The description adds meaningful context by specifying the parameter's purpose ('Maximum locations to return') and its valid range (1-50). This compensates well for the schema gap.

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?

The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'the Shopify shop's locations', and further clarifies what types of locations are included (warehouses, retail locations, fulfillment centres). This distinguishes it from sibling tools that list other Shopify entities like discounts or collections.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, context for use, or when not to use it. The sole purpose statement does not help the agent decide between similar tools.

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