QuestionQ30

Tool Design & MCP Integration

Your order management system needs tools for three distinct operations: issuing refunds (requiring an amount and reason), canceling orders (requiring a reason), and requesting reshipments (requiring a shipping address). Every operation shares an order_id parameter but has different additional requirements. During testing, you observe that the agent often omits required parameters or supplies irrelevant ones with the current unified-tool design. Which design change would most effectively improve parameter accuracy?

Explanation

Separate, operation-specific tools provide a narrow schema for each action: refunds require order_id, amount, and reason; cancellations require order_id and reason; reshipments require order_id and shipping address. Removing conditional and irrelevant fields from each tool definition reduces ambiguity and makes required parameters explicit for the selected operation.
