etsy-mcp
etsy-mcp
Der erste produktionsreife Model Context Protocol-Server für Etsy. Verbinden Sie Claude in fünf Minuten mit den Angeboten, dem Inventar, den Bestellungen und den Statistiken Ihres Etsy-Shops – schreibgeschützt.
Warum gibt es das?
Etsys Open API v3 ist gut dokumentiert und stabil, aber jeder Verkäufer, der ein LLM für seinen Shop nutzen möchte, schreibt am Ende die gleiche OAuth- und Paginierungs-Logik von Grund auf neu. Bestehende MCP-Integrationen sind oft nur einfache Demos, denen Token-Aktualisierung, Wiederholungslogik und die pro Shop erforderliche Paginierung fehlen.
Wenn Sie auf Etsy verkaufen und sich schon immer gewünscht haben, dass Claude (oder ein anderer MCP-fähiger KI-Assistent) einfach weiß, was in Ihrem Shop passiert – was gelistet ist, was gestern versandt wurde, was knapp wird –, dann ist diese Lücke der Unterschied zwischen „Summarize today's orders“ (funktioniert sofort) und „Summarize today's orders“ (erfordert eine benutzerdefinierte Integration).
etsy-mcp schließt diese Lücke. Es ist ein kleiner, gut getesteter, unter der MIT-Lizenz stehender MCP-Server, der acht schreibgeschützte Etsy-Endpunkte für jeden MCP-Client bereitstellt. Entwickelt aus jahrelanger Erfahrung mit der Skalierung von E-Commerce-Automatisierung im Produktionsbetrieb.

Was Sie damit tun können
Verbinden Sie diesen Server mit Claude Code, Claude Desktop oder einem beliebigen MCP-Host und stellen Sie Fragen wie:
„Suche in meinem Shop nach Angeboten mit dem Wort
vintageim Titel und sage mir, wie viele davon einen Bestand von unter 5 haben.“„Wie viele Bestellungen habe ich gestern erhalten? Gruppiere sie nach Käufer und Gesamtumsatz.“
„Rufe Beleg 5550001 ab und sage mir, welche Transaktionen versandt wurden – und was noch versandt werden muss.“
„Wie waren meine Shop-Statistiken in den letzten 30 Tagen? Vergleiche Bestellungen, Favoriten und aktive Angebote.“
„Zeige mir für Angebot 1234567890 jede Variante, deren SKU und den aktuellen Bestand.“
Claude liest Ihren Shop direkt. Kein Kopieren und Einfügen, keine Tabellenkalkulationen, keine benutzerdefinierten Pipelines.
Tools (v0.1, alle schreibgeschützt)
Tool | Was es tut |
| Stichwortsuche in aktiven Angeboten, optional shop-bezogen. |
| Abrufen eines Angebots nach ID. |
| Abrufen des Shop-Datensatzes (Name, Währung, Anzahl, Urlaub). |
| Auflisten von Belegen (Bestellungen) in einem Datumsfenster für einen Shop. |
| Abrufen eines Belegs nach ID, einschließlich der Transaktionsposten. |
| Inventar auf Varianten-Ebene (SKU, Menge, Preis) für ein Angebot. |

Schreib-Endpunkte (Entwurfsangebot erstellen, Inventar aktualisieren, Beleg als versandt markieren) sind in v0.1 absichtlich nicht enthalten. Sie sind für v0.2 geplant, sobald sich die Ergonomie der Lese-Tools gefestigt hat.
Installation
pip install etsy-mcpv0.1 wird aus diesem Repository bereitgestellt. Die Veröffentlichung auf PyPI steht noch aus – installieren Sie es vorerst mit
pip install git+https://github.com/alveyautomation/etsy-mcpoder klonen Sie es und führen Siepip install -e .lokal aus.
Anmeldedaten konfigurieren
Der Server liest alles aus Umgebungsvariablen. Kopieren Sie .env.example nach .env und tragen Sie Ihren Tenant ein:
ETSY_API_URL=https://api.etsy.com/v3/application/ # default; usually leave alone
ETSY_API_KEY=your-keystring-from-etsy-developers
ETSY_REFRESH_TOKEN=oauth2-refresh-token-for-your-shop
ETSY_DEFAULT_SHOP_ID= # optional fallback
ETSY_HTTP_TIMEOUT=60 # optional, seconds
ETSY_MAX_RETRIES=3 # optionalEinen Etsy-API-Schlüssel erhalten
Besuchen Sie https://www.etsy.com/developers/your-apps und registrieren Sie eine App.
Kopieren Sie den Keystring – das ist
ETSY_API_KEY.Konfigurieren Sie den Redirect-URI für Ihren einmaligen OAuth-Bootstrap (z. B.
http://localhost:3000/callback).
Ein Refresh-Token erhalten
Etsy verwendet OAuth 2.0 mit PKCE. Um den Prozess zu starten, führen Sie einmalig einen Standard OAuth-PKCE-Flow mit diesen Parametern aus:
response_type=codeclient_id=<Ihr Keystring>redirect_uri=<Ihr registrierter URI>scope=listings_r shops_r transactions_r(schreibgeschützt – das Minimum, das dieser Server benötigt)state=<zufällig>code_challenge=<PKCE>undcode_challenge_method=S256
Tauschen Sie den resultierenden Autorisierungscode unter POST https://api.etsy.com/v3/public/oauth/token gegen ein Zugriffs- + Refresh-Token ein. Speichern Sie das Refresh-Token als ETSY_REFRESH_TOKEN. Der Server verwendet es, um automatisch kurzlebige Zugriffstoken zu erstellen.
Verwenden Sie Lese-Token mit minimalem Umfang. v0.1 ruft nur
GET-Endpunkte auf, aber Defense-in-Depth bedeutet, dass Sie dem Refresh-Token des Servers niemals Schreibberechtigungen (*_w) erteilen sollten. Wenn v0.2 mit Schreib-Tools erscheint, aktivieren Sie diese durch das Erstellen eines neuen Tokens mit höherem Umfang – niemals umgekehrt.
In Claude Code einbinden
Fügen Sie dies zu ~/.claude/claude_code_config.json (oder der MCP-Konfiguration Ihres Projekts) hinzu:
{
"mcpServers": {
"etsy": {
"command": "etsy-mcp",
"env": {
"ETSY_API_KEY": "your-keystring",
"ETSY_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your-refresh-token",
"ETSY_DEFAULT_SHOP_ID": "12345678"
}
}
}
}Starten Sie Claude Code neu. Die acht etsy_*-Tools erscheinen in jeder neuen Sitzung.
In Claude Desktop einbinden
Bearbeiten Sie ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) oder %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) und fügen Sie denselben mcpServers-Block wie oben hinzu. Starten Sie die Desktop-App neu.
Tool-Referenz
Jedes Tool gibt einen JSON-Umschlag zurück:
{ "ok": true, "data": { ... } }
{ "ok": false, "error": "human-readable message" }etsy_search_listings
etsy_search_listings(
query: str, # required
shop_id: int | None = None, # scope to a single shop
limit: int = 50, # max 100 (Etsy server cap)
)Wenn shop_id angegeben ist, greift dies auf /shops/{shop_id}/listings/active zu. Andernfalls greift es auf den globalen /listings/active-Index zu.
etsy_get_listing
etsy_get_listing(listing_id: int)Gibt den Angebotsdatensatz zurück oder data: null bei 404.
etsy_get_shop
etsy_get_shop(shop_id: int)Der Shop-Datensatz enthält shop_name, currency_code, listing_active_count, num_favorers, is_vacation und mehr.
etsy_search_orders
etsy_search_orders(
date_from: str, # ISO date "YYYY-MM-DD"
date_to: str, # ISO date "YYYY-MM-DD"
shop_id: int | None = None, # falls back to default
status: str | None = None, # 'open' | 'unshipped' | 'completed' | 'all'
limit: int = 200, # max 1000
)Etsy begrenzt die Seitengröße auf 100; die Paginierung erfolgt transparent. Die Antwort enthält limit_reached: true, wenn limit der Punkt der Kürzung war.
etsy_get_order
etsy_get_order(receipt_id: int, shop_id: int | None = None)Gibt den vollständigen Beleg (mit transactions[]) zurück oder data: null bei 404.
etsy_get_inventory
etsy_get_inventory(listing_id: int)Gibt products[] mit sku, property_values und offerings[] (Menge, Preis, aktiviert) zurück. Verwenden Sie die Angebotsmenge als kanonische „Verkaufsmenge“ pro Variante.
etsy_get_shop_stats
etsy_get_shop_stats(shop_id: int, period: str = "30d")Eine zusammengesetzte Auswertung. Etsy bietet in v3 keinen erstklassigen shop/stats-Endpunkt, daher synthetisiert dieser eine aus dem Shop-Datensatz (Favoriten, Anzahl aktiver Angebote) und den Belegen im Zeitraum. Zurückgegebene Form:

}period akzeptiert das Format <N>d, maximal 365 Tage.
etsy_get_active_listings
etsy_get_active_listings(shop_id: int, limit: int = 200)Paginierter Dump aller aktiven Angebote in einem Shop. Nützlich für katalogweite Analysen („Überprüfe meine Titel auf fehlende Schlüsselwörter“). Das Soft-Limit liegt bei 1000, um einen Tool-Aufruf begrenzt zu halten.

Fehlerbehebung
Failed to refresh Etsy access token – Ihr Refresh-Token ist abgelaufen oder wurde widerrufen. Etsy-Refresh-Token sind ab Ausstellung 90 Tage gültig, aber nur, wenn sie regelmäßig verwendet werden. Führen Sie den OAuth-PKCE-Bootstrap erneut aus, um ein neues zu erstellen.
Missing required environment variables – der Server versuchte zu starten, bevor seine .env geladen wurde. Exportieren Sie die Variablen entweder in der übergeordneten Shell oder stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre MCP-Host-Konfiguration sie im env-Block enthält.
HTTP 403 bei Belegen/Transaktionen – den Scopes des Refresh-Tokens fehlt transactions_r. Führen Sie den Bootstrap erneut mit den oben aufgeführten Lese-Scopes durch.
Leere Ergebnisse trotz bekannter Daten – bestätigen Sie die shop_id. Die /shops/{shop_id}/...-Endpunkte von Etsy geben nur Daten für Shops zurück, für die das OAuth-Token autorisiert wurde.
Paginierung fühlt sich langsam an – Etsy begrenzt die Seitengröße auf 100 pro Anfrage, nicht wir. Erwarten Sie bei großen Zeiträumen (lange Bestellhistorien) mehrere Roundtrips. Verringern Sie das limit-Argument, um den Aufruf zu begrenzen.

Available Tools
8 toolsetsy_get_active_listingsA
List active listings for a shop, paginating transparently.
Args: shop_id: Etsy ShopID. limit: Soft cap on yielded listings (default 200, max 1000).
Returns:
JSON envelope. data.listings is the list of active-listing records.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| shop_id | Yes | ||
| limit | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Since no annotations are provided, the description carries full burden. It notes pagination behavior and a soft cap on limit, but does not clarify that the operation is read-only or mention any other behavioral traits, which is insufficient for a tool with no annotations.
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?
Very concise, using a clear docstring format with Args and Returns. Every sentence adds value; no wasted words.
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 2 parameters and an output schema (not shown but present), the description adequately covers the tool's functionality. It explains return structure ('JSON envelope, data.listings'), which is sufficient with the output schema present.
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 0%, so the description adds meaning beyond the schema. It defines shop_id as 'Etsy ShopID' (repetitive but confirms type) and explains limit as a 'soft cap' with default 200 and max 1000, providing valuable context not in the schema.
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?
Clearly states 'List active listings for a shop, paginating transparently' which specifies the action (list), resource (active listings), and scope (for a shop, with automatic pagination). Distinguishes from siblings like etsy_get_listing (single) and etsy_search_listings (search across shops).
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?
Implicitly describes usage for listing active listings of a shop, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any conditions or exclusions among the 7 sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
etsy_get_inventoryA
Fetch the current inventory record (variations + offerings) for a listing.
Args: listing_id: Etsy ListingID.
Returns:
JSON envelope. data is the inventory record (with products[]
carrying property values, SKU, price, and offerings[] with
quantity), or null if absent.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| listing_id | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the return structure (JSON envelope, products, offerings) and that data can be null, but does not specify whether the operation is read-only, authentication needs, or rate limits. Adequate but not thorough.
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 extremely concise, with a clear header sentence and structured Args/Returns sections. No redundancy or unnecessary information.
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 tool's simplicity (one parameter, output schema exists), the description covers purpose, parameter, and return value. It lacks usage guidelines, but for a straightforward fetch operation, it is largely complete.
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 single parameter listing_id is described as 'Etsy ListingID', adding meaning beyond the schema title 'Listing Id'. The description explains its purpose clearly, compensating for the 0% schema description coverage.
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 the action ('Fetch') and resource ('inventory record'), specifying it includes variations and offerings for a listing. It distinguishes from siblings like etsy_get_listing (listing details) and etsy_get_active_listings (list of listings).
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 explains what the tool returns but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives. No guidance on when not to use or prerequisites is provided, though the purpose is clear enough for an agent to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
etsy_get_listingA
Fetch the full record for a single listing.
Args: listing_id: Etsy ListingID (integer).
Returns:
JSON envelope. data is the listing record, or null if not found.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| listing_id | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it 'fetches' (read-only) and returns null if not found, which is helpful. However, it does not disclose any potential side effects, permissions, rate limits, or other behavioral traits.
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 extremely concise with no wasted words. It front-loads the purpose, then clearly lists args and returns. Every sentence serves a purpose.
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 tool's simplicity (one parameter, no annotations, output schema exists), the description adequately covers the essentials. It mentions what the tool does, the argument needed, and the return format including the null case. Could mention error handling beyond null, but not necessary for basic completeness.
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 description adds meaning beyond the schema by specifying 'Etsy ListingID (integer)' for the listing_id parameter. This clarifies the parameter's type and scope, which is valuable given the schema only provides 'Listing Id' and type integer.
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 'Fetch the full record for a single listing,' which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like etsy_search_listings (which searches multiple) and etsy_get_active_listings (which gets multiple active listings).
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 does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use information, leaving the agent to infer from context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
etsy_get_orderB
Fetch full receipt (order) detail including transactions.
Args: receipt_id: Etsy ReceiptID (integer). shop_id: Etsy ShopID. Falls back to ETSY_DEFAULT_SHOP_ID if omitted.
Returns:
JSON envelope. data is the receipt record, or null if missing.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| receipt_id | Yes | ||
| shop_id | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries the burden. It discloses the behavior (fetch receipt with transactions), fallback for shop_id, and return format. However, it omits information on authentication or rate limits.
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?
Description is short and structured with Args and Returns sections. No unnecessary words, but the overall structure is clear and efficient.
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 no annotations and an output schema (stated but not shown), description covers basics: purpose, parameters, return format. However, it lacks guidance on when to use this tool vs. search_orders, which is a gap.
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 description must add meaning. It explains receipt_id is an integer and shop_id is an integer with a fallback to default. This adds value, but could provide more detail on source of IDs.
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?
Description states 'Fetch full receipt (order) detail including transactions' with a clear verb and resource. It specifies that it includes transactions, distinguishing it from sibling tools like etsy_get_listing and etsy_search_orders.
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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like etsy_search_orders. The description only mentions fallback behavior for shop_id but does not provide context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
etsy_get_shopA
Fetch the shop record for a single shop.
Args: shop_id: Etsy ShopID (integer).
Returns:
JSON envelope. data is the shop record (with name, currency_code,
listing_active_count, num_favorers, etc.), or null if not found.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| shop_id | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries burden. It discloses return format (JSON envelope with data field), example fields (name, currency_code, etc.), and null behavior on not found. Lacks error or auth info, but sufficient for a simple read operation.
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?
Three sentences with args/returns section. Every sentence adds value: purpose, parameter, return details. No fluff.
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 simple tool (one param, no nested objects, output schema exists), description covers purpose, parameter, return structure and field examples. Sufficient for an agent to understand usage and outcome.
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?
Only one parameter (shop_id) with 0% schema description coverage. Description adds 'Etsy ShopID (integer)' context, clarifying it's the shop identifier. Compensates for missing schema documentation.
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 'Fetch the shop record for a single shop,' which is a specific verb-resource pair. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like etsy_get_shop_stats (stats) or etsy_get_listing (listing entity).
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 on when to use this tool versus siblings. Does not mention alternatives or conditions like 'use this instead of etsy_get_shop_stats when only basic shop info is needed.'
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
etsy_get_shop_statsA
Return aggregated stats (orders, favorers, active listings, revenue) for a shop over the given period.
Args: shop_id: Etsy ShopID. period: Lookback window in the form 'd', e.g. '7d', '30d', '90d'. Maximum 365 days.
Returns:
JSON envelope. data is a dict with orders, favorers,
active_listings, revenue_minor_units, currency_code, and
the resolved date_from / date_to.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| shop_id | Yes | ||
| period | No | 30d |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full burden for behavioral disclosure. It describes the return format but omits any mention of side effects, error conditions, authorization requirements, or rate limits, limiting transparency.
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 concise with a clear structure using Args and Returns sections; every sentence adds value without redundancy.
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 two parameters and an output schema, the description adequately explains both parameters and the return structure, but lacks details on error conditions or authentication requirements.
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 description adds substantial meaning beyond the input schema, explaining shop_id as 'Etsy ShopID' and period as a lookback window with format '<N>d' and maximum 365 days, compensating for 0% schema coverage.
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 the verb 'Return' and the resource 'aggregated stats (orders, favorers, active listings, revenue) for a shop over a given period', and it is distinct from sibling tools that handle listings, inventory, orders, or searches.
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 does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention exclusions or prerequisites, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the purpose.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
etsy_search_listingsA
Search active Etsy listings by keyword.
Args: query: Free-text keyword search across listing title and tags. shop_id: Optional Etsy ShopID to scope the search to a single shop. When omitted, queries the global active-listings index. limit: Cap on returned results (max 100 enforced by Etsy).
Returns: JSON envelope: {"ok": true, "data": {"results": [...], "count": N}}.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | ||
| shop_id | No | ||
| limit | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It discloses the return format (JSON envelope with ok, data, results, count) and an enforced limit of 100, but lacks details on authentication, rate limits, or any read-only guarantee.
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 concise and well-structured with Args and Returns sections. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy or fluff.
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 simple 3-parameter search tool with an output schema, the description covers purpose, parameters, and return format adequately. It lacks explicit comparison to siblings, but is otherwise complete.
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 0%, but the description fully explains all three parameters: query as free-text, shop_id as optional scoping, and limit with a cap. This adds meaningful detail beyond the schema names.
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 'Search active Etsy listings by keyword' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'etsy_get_listings' by focusing on keyword search and optional shop_id scoping.
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?
Provides context that omitting shop_id queries the global index, but does not explicitly compare to sibling tools like 'etsy_get_active_listings' or give when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
etsy_search_ordersA
Search receipts (orders) created in the inclusive [date_from, date_to] window for a shop.
Args: date_from: ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD), start of window. date_to: ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD), end of window. shop_id: Etsy ShopID to scope the search to. Falls back to ETSY_DEFAULT_SHOP_ID if omitted. status: Optional receipt status filter ('open', 'unshipped', 'unpaid', 'completed', 'processing', 'all'). limit: Cap on yielded receipts (default 200, max 1000). Etsy caps page size at 100 per request; pagination is handled transparently.
Returns:
JSON envelope. data.orders is the list of receipt records.

Without annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses transparent pagination handling, limit cap (1000, with 100 per page), default shop_id fallback, and return format. It does not mention read-only nature or rate limits, but for a search tool the disclosed behaviors are substantial.
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 well-structured with a summary sentence followed by bullet-pointed parameter details. Every sentence adds value, no redundancy. It is concise yet comprehensive, fitting all necessary information into a compact format.
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 output schema exists (not shown but indicated), the description adequately covers return structure ('JSON envelope with data.orders'). All parameters, default behaviors, and pagination are explained. No critical gaps remain for a search tool with moderate complexity.
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 description adds extensive meaning beyond the input schema: date format (ISO), inclusive window semantics, shop_id fallback to ETSY_DEFAULT_SHOP_ID, status enum values, limit with transparent pagination. Schema coverage is 0%, so description fully compensates, making each parameter's purpose and constraints clear.
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 searches receipts/orders by date window for a shop. 'Search receipts (orders) created in the inclusive [date_from, date_to] window for a shop.' is a specific verb+resource+scope. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like etsy_get_order or etsy_search_listings, leaving ambiguity about when to use this versus alternatives.
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 implies usage for searching orders within a date range, with optional filters. Yet it provides no explicit guidance on when not to use it or references to sibling tools for alternative use cases. The context of searching by shop and date window is clear but lacks exclusionary criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource (listings, inventory, shop, orders) and operation (get, search, stats), with no overlapping purposes.
All tools follow the consistent pattern 'etsy_<verb>_<noun>', using snake_case and clear verbs (get, search) throughout.
8 tools is reasonable for an Etsy API wrapper, covering key read operations without being excessive.
The server provides only read/search operations; missing critical mutation tools like create/update/delete listing or update order, leaving significant gaps for full lifecycle management.
