Get product template details

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

Annotations already cover readOnly, idempotent, openWorld and non-destructive. The description adds useful non-annotation context: it is a public endpoint needing no authentication, and it enumerates the returned payload (variants, customizable areas, size guide, images). That returns-shape info is valuable since there is no output schema.

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?

Short and front-loaded: purpose first, then auth note, then return contents. No filler sentences, though the indentation/whitespace is slightly awkward.

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 2-param read with rich annotations, the description is largely complete, and the return-content enumeration compensates for the missing output schema. It remains thin on the multi-item siblings' relationship, but nothing critical to invoking the call is missing.

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 coverage is 100% and both params are documented in-schema, including the account field's subtle 'private shop profile label, not an authorization proof' semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate; the description adds nothing beyond the schema for parameters.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get detailed information about a specific product template'), which is clear. However, it does not differentiate from close siblings like get_product, list_product_templates, or search_product_templates, which a reader must infer from the name alone.

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?

No guidance on when to use this vs the many sibling list/search tools (list_product_templates, search_product_templates, get_product). The reader has to infer that this is the single-item retrieval endpoint.

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