Get Consignment Label PDF

machship_get_consignment_label_pdf
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a consignment label as a PDF using the consignment ID.

Instructions

Returns the consignment label as a PDF (base64 or file bytes).

Args:

  • consignmentId (number): Consignment ID

Input Schema

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds minimal incremental value by specifying PDF format, but does not disclose edge cases like missing consignment IDs or response size limits. With annotations present, a 3 is appropriate.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Very concise: two sentences, front-loading the result format. No wasted words, but could be slightly more structured.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Simple tool with one parameter, annotations, and no output schema. Description is adequate but does not clarify potential variations (e.g., whether base64 or bytes depends on some context). Lacks completeness for a full understanding.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with one integer parameter. The description repeats the parameter name and type ('consignmentId (number): Consignment ID') without adding extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is correct.

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 it returns a consignment label as a PDF, specifying the format (base64 or file bytes). It distinguishes from sibling tools like machship_get_item_label_pdf by targeting consignment labels specifically.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 other label retrieval tools (e.g., machship_get_item_label_pdf, machship_get_manifest_label_pdf). The agent receives no context about prerequisites or alternative choices.

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