run_walmart_seller

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses the output fields and the cost model ('Flat 5 points per successful run'), which is useful. However, it does not describe permissions, error behavior, or read-only nature beyond the implicit 'Get' verb.

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?

Two short sentences with no wasted words. The purpose is front-loaded, and the pricing note is concise and useful.

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?

For a simple one-parameter read tool, the description plus the rich schema parameter description cover the core invocation. However, the lack of sibling routing and usage context leaves a meaningful gap for agent tool selection.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and the schema contains a very detailed seller parameter description. The tool description adds no parameter meaning beyond 'by seller ID,' so the baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 states a specific verb (Get) and resource (Walmart marketplace seller profile) and lists key fields returned (rating, location, contact info). It does not explicitly distinguish the tool from close siblings such as run_walmart_seller_products or run_walmart_product, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. The phrase 'by seller ID' implies the input requirement but does not tell an agent when this tool should be chosen over alternatives like run_walmart_seller_products or run_walmart_product.

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