list_storefronts

Lists supported Apple Store countries with their shop languages, currencies, and URLs, so you can choose the correct country-specific store and product IDs.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. 'List' implies a safe read, and the country-specific ID caveat adds genuinely useful behavioral context, but nothing is said about ordering, pagination, or whether the catalog is static or dynamic.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences totaling under twenty words, with the core capability front-loaded and the caveat second. Nothing is redundant or padded.

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

Completeness4/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and with no parameters there is little else to document. The only real gap is the lack of differentiation from list_apple_stores, which matters given how close the names are.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, and the description correctly frames the call as global rather than country-scoped. Baseline 4 applies for a parameterless tool; no syntax or format detail is needed here.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb (List) plus a concrete resource and enumerates the fields returned: countries, shop languages, currencies and URLs. It does not, however, distinguish this tool from the sibling list_apple_stores, which an agent could easily confuse with it.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: the note that 'Product and store IDs are country-specific' hints that this tool is a prerequisite for country-scoped lookups elsewhere. There is no explicit when-to-use statement, no exclusions, and no comparison to the similarly named list_apple_stores.

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