mhlb_apply_coupon

Apply a coupon code to your My Hot Lunchbox account by reviewing the confirmation preview and approving to redeem the discount.

Instructions

Apply a coupon code to the account. 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). NOTE: this write is UNVERIFIED — its request shape was derived from the web app’s compiled API client but has not been exercised against a live account. Inspect the confirmation preview before approving it.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
codeYesCoupon code.
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

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description goes well beyond the annotations, which only indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. It explicitly warns that this write is UNVERIFIED and instructs the agent to inspect the confirmation preview before approving. It also details the confirmation mechanism, including the confirmToken usage, which is critical behavioral information.

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?

The description is dense yet efficient. It front-loads the primary purpose, then covers confirmation flow, unverified status, and parameter nuance in a well-organized manner. Every sentence carries essential information with no wasted words.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (confirmation, two-step fallback) and lack of an output schema, the description explains the response flow (preview and confirmToken) and the caution about unverified behavior. It covers what an agent needs to call it correctly, though it does not specify the preview content or success response details, which is acceptable given the unverified nature.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters. The description adds significant value by explaining the confirmToken's role in the two-step fallback, emphasizing that it must not be invented or reused, and clarifying when it is ignored. This goes beyond the schema's basic description.

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 tool's action: 'Apply a coupon code to the account.' This is a specific verb and resource, and it is distinct from sibling tools like mhlb_apply_gift_card and mhlb_remove_coupon. The purpose is immediately obvious.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description provides clear context about the confirmation flow and the two-step fallback, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. It implies usage for applying a coupon, but lacks explicit routing to or away from sibling tools.

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