Production-grade dynamic price elasticity optimizer that calculates point elasticity of demand and derives revenue-maximizing price points for e-commerce products.
Single tool with critical definition gaps. Tool name 'optimize_price_elasticity' lacks action verb prefix (should be 'compute_' or 'calculate_'). Description is adequate (89 chars, within 10-1024 range) but lacks WHEN/WHY guidance. Input schema present with 4 parameters, all typed (float/integer) with descriptions and defaults. However, schema lacks critical constraints: no min/max bounds on numeric params, no enum for elasticity coefficient validation, no output schema documented. Tool implementation ignores passed parameters entirely, client.optimize_price_elasticity() accepts args but mcp_server.py calls client.optimize_price_elasticity() with NO arguments, forcing defaults. This breaks parameter passing and makes the tool non-functional for custom inputs. No error handling, no recovery guidance, no idempotency declaration.
Computes optimal e-commerce product pricing via elasticity coefficients.
Tool name lacks action verb. 'optimize_price_elasticity' should start with compute_, calculate_, or derive_ to signal intent to LLMs.
Input parameters not passed to implementation. mcp_server.py calls client.optimize_price_elasticity() with zero arguments, ignoring all user-provided parameters. Tool always returns hardcoded defaults (current_price=799, marginal_cost=450, etc.), making it non-functional for custom pricing scenarios.
No output schema documented. Response structure (optimization_id, current_price_usd, etc.) is inferred from code, not declared in tool definition. LLMs cannot plan downstream operations without knowing return fields.
Numeric parameters lack bounds. estimated_elasticity_coef has no min/max; current_price and marginal_cost unbounded. LLMs can pass negative prices or absurd elasticity values. Add constraints: elasticity_coef in [-5.0, -0.1], prices >= 0.

No error handling or validation. If marginal_cost > current_price (invalid scenario), tool silently returns negative profit. No guidance to LLM on what went wrong or how to recover.
