Production-grade autonomous e-commerce refund and dispute arbitration engine. Cross-checks carrier tracking telemetry, photographic defect hash, and return policies.
Single tool with critical definition gaps. Tool name 'arbitrate_dispute_case' lacks action verb prefix (should be 'arbitrate_dispute' or similar). Description is present (67 chars) but minimal and lacks WHEN/WHY context. Input schema visible with 5 parameters, all with types and descriptions, but descriptions are terse (avg 45 chars, below 72-char baseline). No output schema documented, LLM cannot plan downstream actions. No error handling guidance. Tool performs state-modifying arbitration (verdict + settlement action) but description does not indicate this is a consequential decision. Parameters lack constraints (e.g., claim_reason is free-form string, not enum of valid claim types). No pagination, no idempotency guidance.
Arbitrates customer refund and dispute claims based on evidence and policies.
No output schema documented. LLM cannot infer what fields the response contains or plan downstream tool calls. Response structure is implicit in code only.
claim_reason parameter accepts free-form string with no enum constraint. Should enumerate valid claim types (ITEM_DEFECTIVE_MOTOR_STALL, ITEM_NOT_RECEIVED, ITEM_NOT_AS_DESCRIBED, etc.) to prevent hallucinated values.
Tool description (67 chars) lacks WHEN/WHY context and does not indicate this is a state-modifying, consequential decision. Should explain: 'Evaluates refund disputes and returns a binding arbitration verdict (AUTO_REFUND_APPROVED, PARTIAL_STORE_CREDIT_OFFERED, or DISPUTE_REJECTED). This decision is final and affects customer settlement.'

Parameter descriptions are terse (avg 45 chars vs 72-char baseline). E.g., 'Reason for the dispute claim' does not explain valid values, format, or dependency on other params. Should state: 'Claim reason category (e.g., ITEM_DEFECTIVE_MOTOR_STALL, ITEM_NOT_RECEIVED). Affects eligibility scoring.'
No error handling guidance. If photo_proof_url is invalid or unreachable, tool silently defaults to a hardcoded URL. LLM has no recovery path. Should return actionable error: 'Invalid photo_proof_url: URL unreachable. Provide a valid HTTPS URL or omit to use default evidence.'
