ebay_setup_quick_campaign

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

No annotations are present, so the description alone must disclose behavior. It states 'Create' implying mutation, but does not detail any side effects, permissions, or what 'quick' entails (e.g., limited configuration). The description adds no behavioral context beyond the verb.

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 brief (two sentences), but it sacrifices informativeness. It could include more context about the simplified setup without becoming verbose.

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?

Given the nested input schema and lack of output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain what a 'quick campaign' is, how it differs from a regular campaign, or what the tool returns. More details are needed for adequate understanding.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning to parameters; it does not explain the funding options or marketplace selection beyond the schema's enum descriptions.

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 clearly states it creates a quick campaign with simplified setup, distinguishing it from a full campaign creation tool like ebay_create_campaign. The phrase 'quick campaign' and 'simplified setup' imply a lighter version, but it does not explicitly contrast with siblings.

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?

The description suggests it's ideal for getting started fast, but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It does not mention alternatives or prerequisites, leaving the agent to infer from the name alone.

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