Ads Execute Action

execute_action
Destructive

Execute Facebook Ads action (Step 3 (FINAL) of workflow).

REQUIRED: Complete these steps first using query_contexts:

  1. request='accounts' - Get workspace_id, brand_id, ad_account_id AND available_actions

  2. request='actions_details' with actions=['xxxxxx', 'xxxxxx', 'xxxxxx'] - Get detailed body structure for specific action(s) using actions from available_actions

IMPORTANT: Always call step 2 to see the exact body structure before executing.

Rely on info from steps 1-2 to construct the action body. Follow the schema exactly.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already disclose destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is known. The description adds workflow and body-construction guidance but does not describe what will be changed, whether effects are irreversible, or any permission/rate-limit constraints, so it adds only moderate behavioral context beyond annotations.

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?

The description is front-loaded with purpose and numbered required steps, making it easy to scan. It repeats the step-2 prerequisite twice ('IMPORTANT: Always call step 2' and the closing instruction), which is minor redundancy but does not undermine clarity.

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 a destructive, open-world execution tool with an output schema and annotations, the description covers the critical invocation workflow and tells the agent where to obtain the dynamic body structure. It omits permission, side-effect, and rate-limit details, but is largely complete for correct invocation.

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 only parameter is an open body object with 0% schema description coverage, so the description has to compensate. It meaningfully directs the agent to query_contexts actions_details for the exact body structure and to follow the schema exactly, though it does not enumerate body fields.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Execute Facebook Ads action') and positions the tool as the final workflow step, which distinguishes it from the query/context siblings. The term 'action' remains generic because the concrete operation is supplied dynamically by query_contexts, so it is clear but not fully self-contained.

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?

Explicitly requires completing steps 1 and 2 with query_contexts before calling, names the exact requests to run, and warns to always call step 2 before execution. This gives the agent clear when-to-use and prerequisite guidance.

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