ChangeOrderListV2

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

Discloses batch nature, max 100 items, and gives example operations. But lacks details on partial failures, error handling, or prerequisites. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries full burden and is only moderately transparent.

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?

Single sentence with 24 words, front-loaded with the action. Very concise, though could include more detail without harming conciseness.

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 complexity (batch mutation with nested objects) and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It omits crucial details like body format, operation types, error responses, and success/failure behavior.

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 input schema has one parameter 'body' with a generic description 'Request body'. The tool description does not explain the structure or required fields of the body, leaving the agent without guidance on how to construct the request.

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 sends a batch of operations to change marketplace order information, listing examples like accept and ship. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like ChangeOrderList or ChangeOrderListV3.

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?

Implied use for batch operations with a max of 100 items, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance compared to alternative order change tools.

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