Pepesto Predirect (free deferred shopping link)

pepesto_predirect

Convert a free-form shopping list into a deferred deep link to the Pepesto app. Users open the link on their phone to complete the purchase, with costs incurred at checkout.

Instructions

Turn a free-form shopping list into a deferred deep link to the Pepesto mobile app, returned as a redirect_url. This is a PUBLIC endpoint: it is FREE to the API client, needs no API key, and returns instantly. Parsing and product matching happen lazily, only after the user opens the link — and the USER (not the API client) is charged when they proceed to checkout in the app. If the app isn't installed, the user is sent to the app store first and the shopping list is preserved until the app opens. This is an end-user / agent-facing handoff (e.g. a person chatting in Claude Desktop who wants to finish shopping on their phone), not a developer-integration endpoint. Choose pepesto_predirect when the cost should fall on the end user and a deferred deep link is acceptable. Choose pepesto_oneshot instead when the client wants the basket matched up front (with prices) and is willing to pay for the matching. PRESENTATION (important): the tool's text output is ready-to-show Markdown — a single tappable, labeled link plus a one-line caption. Surface it to the user exactly as returned; do NOT also paste the long raw URL as plain text. You may add one short sentence telling them to open it on their phone (on a computer, opening it shows a QR code to scan).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
shopping_listYesFree-form shopping list. May contain multiple newline-separated lines, e.g. '2 avocados\n1 loaf of bread\n500 g tomatoes'.
localeNoUser's locale, e.g. 'de-DE'. Optional.
Behavior5/5

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

Despite no annotations, the description comprehensively discloses behavioral traits: it is free, requires no API key, returns instantly, parsing occurs lazily after link opening, the user is charged (not the API client), and behavior when app is not installed (app store redirect with preserved list).

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?

The description is lengthy but well-structured, front-loading the core function and then adding usage guidance, behavioral details, and presentation instructions. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more concise.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Without an output schema, the description fully explains the return format (Markdown with a tappable link and caption) and instructs the agent on how to present it to the user. It also covers edge cases (app not installed) and provides a complete picture of the tool's behavior.

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 descriptions for both parameters. The description adds minimal extra semantic beyond schema, only noting that shopping_list can be multi-line and locale is optional. This is adequate given the high coverage, but does not significantly enhance parameter understanding.

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 purpose: converting a free-form shopping list into a deferred deep link to the Pepesto mobile app. It specifies the key characteristics (free, public, no API key, lazy parsing) and distinguishes it from the sibling pepesto_oneshot tool.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus pepesto_oneshot, based on cost allocation and timing of basket matching. It also clarifies that this is an end-user/agent-facing handoff, not a developer-integration endpoint.

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