groupon_clear_cart

Remove every item from your Groupon cart in one action after user confirmation, then verify it's empty. Ideal for starting fresh or canceling multiple deals.

Instructions

Remove ALL items from your signed-in Groupon cart. Once confirmed it removes every line item and re-reads the cart to verify it is empty. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
confirmTokenNoONLY for the two-step confirmation fallback (a client without MCP elicitation). The confirmToken from this same tool's phase-1 "confirmation-required" response, passed back ONLY after the user has seen that preview and explicitly approved it in chat — never on the first call, never invented, never reused. Call again with the same arguments. Ignored when the client supports elicitation.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description discloses the destructive side effect, the required user confirmation, the post-action verification read of the cart, and the two-step confirmToken fallback. This adds substantial behavioral context beyond the annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three focused sentences with no fluff: purpose first, then confirmation behavior, then fallback mechanics. Every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a destructive tool with no output schema, the description covers the key behavioral requirements: removal, confirmation, verification, and token handling. It does not detail empty-cart or declined-confirmation edge cases, but those are secondary.

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?

Input schema already documents confirmToken in detail, and the description reinforces the phase-1 preview and repeat-call semantics. It adds useful operational context about when the token is needed without contradicting the schema.

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 states a specific verb and exact scope: 'Remove ALL items from your signed-in Groupon cart.' This makes it clearly distinct from sibling tools like groupon_view_cart and groupon_purchase.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description clearly explains when to use the tool and how the confirmation flow works, including the fallback path for clients without elicitation support. It does not explicitly name alternatives when not to use it, but the ALL-items scope is explicit enough.

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