Commerce Store Update

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral burden, and it does not. It does not state whether the update is partial or full, whether omitted fields are preserved, whether it requires permissions, or how errors are handled. It also leaves unclear how passing null for a field (all fields are nullable with default null) is interpreted.

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?

The single sentence is terse and front-loaded, with no filler or redundant clauses. It is concise, though arguably too sparse for a mutation tool.

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 mutation tool with no annotations, 5 parameters including nested/nullable fields, and no output schema, the description is completely inadequate. It omits usage context, parameter semantics, and behavioral details, leaving the agent unable to invoke the tool correctly.

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 0% across 5 parameters, so the description must compensate but provides no parameter meaning at all. The schema shows mail, label, address, store_id, and default_currency, but the description doesn't explain which fields are updatable or what store_id refers to.

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 verb-resource pair (update a commerce store), which identifies the operation. But it is essentially a restatement of the title and name, and it does not distinguish this tool from siblings like commerce_store_get, commerce_store_create, or commerce_store_list. No scope or field detail is added.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus commerce_store_create, commerce_store_get, or commerce_store_list. No prerequisites (e.g., does the store need to exist first?) or conditions are stated.

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