get_seller

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, yet it says nothing about auth requirements, behavior on an unknown seller_id, or whether the response is truncated/paginated. The phrase "all data points it offers" vaguely signals a broad payload but doesn't define its shape.

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 front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is efficient, though the brevity edges toward under-specification rather than tightness.

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?

No annotations, no output schema, and no parameter documentation leave the description as the only information source — and it omits ID format, error behavior, and the structure of the returned profile/data points. Inadequate for a tool that returns an unbounded collection.

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% and there is one parameter, seller_id, whose format is never explained — no indication whether it is an ID from search_sellers, a slug, or a name. The description adds no meaning beyond "a seller".

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 ("Get") and resource ("a seller's profile and all data points it offers"), so the agent knows this is a single-seller fetch. It does not explicitly contrast with search_sellers or get_datapoint, but the singular resource makes the intent readable.

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 statement of when to use this versus search_sellers (to find a seller) or get_datapoint (for a single data point). The agent must infer the id-lookup use case from the name and required seller_id alone.

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