Boost Post

boost_post
Destructive

Launch a paid ad boosting a published post. THIS SPENDS MONEY: from the user's prepaid ad wallet (budget + service fee), or billed to their own ad account with no fee when they chose their own ad account with the ads add-on. Always confirm the budget with the user before calling. Use get_boost_recommendations first for suggested settings.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already flag a destructive, non-idempotent, open-world write, but the description adds the critical consequence annotations cannot express: real money is spent, from a prepaid wallet (budget + service fee) or an owned ad account with no fee. The human-confirmation requirement is exactly the behavioral context an agent needs before invoking a spend action.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the action, then the cost warning, then the confirmation rule and prerequisite — a sensible priority order. The capitalized "THIS SPENDS MONEY" is effective but slightly attention-grabbing packaging rather than pure information density.

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?

For an 8-parameter destructive mutation with nested targeting and no output schema, the description covers the highest-stakes facts (cost, billing mode, prereq tool, user confirmation). It omits the LinkedIn-only notPoliticalConfirmed requirement and any indication of what a successful boost returns, which slightly weakens completeness.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema itself explains mode, budgetCents fee handling, targeting pass-through, and the LinkedIn political confirmation. The description only restates the budget/fee relationship, adding little beyond the structured fields, so the baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ("Launch a paid ad boosting a published post") and immediately distinguishes itself from sibling ad tools (create_chatgpt_ad, google_ads_*) by being tied to an existing published post. An agent can tell what this does without opening the schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit preconditions: confirm budget with the user, and call get_boost_recommendations first for settings. It also explains which billing mode applies in which situation, so the agent knows the context in which the call is safe.

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