Batch Get One Time Products

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

The verb 'Get' clearly indicates a read-only operation, which is important since annotations are absent. The description does not disclose other behavioral aspects such as maximum batch size, behavior for invalid product IDs, or error semantics, so it only partially carries the behavioral transparency burden.

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 a single front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundant restatement of the title. Every word contributes to identifying the resource and batch behavior, making it appropriately sized for the simplicity of the operation.

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 a two-parameter batch read with a full input schema and an output schema, the description is largely sufficient for an agent to select and invoke the tool. It does not explain API-level constraints like batch size limits or error handling, but the low complexity and existing structured metadata cover the core invocation needs.

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 the two parameters already have adequate documentation. The description adds little beyond reinforcing that multiple product IDs are handled in one call, which the schema already conveys via product_ids being an array; no meaningful parameter semantics are added.

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 a specific action ('Get details') on a specific resource ('one-time products') with an explicit batch scope ('multiple... at once'). This clearly distinguishes it from the single-item sibling get_one_time_product and from list_one_time_products, which returns all items rather than selected IDs.

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?

Usage is implied by the phrase 'multiple one-time products at once'—an agent can infer this tool is for retrieving several known products in a single call. However, the description does not explicitly name alternatives such as get_one_time_product for a single product or list_one_time_products for enumerating all products, so exclusion guidance is absent.

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