ClearMerchantOrderInfoListV3

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It labels the operation as 'send' but does not disclose whether it is destructive, required permissions, side effects, error handling, or idempotency.

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?

A single sentence that is front-loaded with the action and key constraint (max 100), 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?

Lacks details about return format, error behavior, or prerequisites. For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficiently 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 input schema has 0 parameters, baseline is 4, but the description does not explain how the batch items are provided (e.g., in request body), leaving ambiguity about the input mechanism.

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 ('clear') and resource ('Order's merchant information'), and specifies batch operation with max 100 items, distinguishing it from single-order siblings like ClearMerchantOrderInfo and ClearMerchantOrderInfoV3.

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 batch clearing multiple orders (up to 100) but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like SetMerchantOrderInfoListV3 or single-order versions.

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