ad_status

Read-only

Get the live run status of one ad: readiness, connection, and product counts. Ads are ads-based channels (advertising / price-comparison / classifieds), not marketplaces: they publish products to the ad platform and have no order sync. Returns {integrationId, status, ready, lastStep, isReady, isConnected, isOverlimit, productsRefreshing, productsSubmitting, productStats:{listed, processing, errors, inactive, total}, upgradeUrl}. productStats counts the products in the ad feed. isOverlimit=true means the plan product limit is exceeded — upgradeUrl then points to the plan upgrade. productsRefreshing=true means an export / feed generation is running (the ad is 'updating'); productsSubmitting=true means items are being pushed to the channel. While EITHER is true the data is still changing — this is the signal to WAIT: after any export (finishing the wizard summary, repair_ad, a step transition that re-exports, or a submit) poll ad_status until BOTH productsRefreshing AND productsSubmitting are false, THEN read the results. The KOONGO DATA CHECK (get_ad_report's dataCheckErrors) and the productStats counts are only current once the refresh has finished — reading mid-refresh gives stale/empty data. ad_id is the id from list_ads. project_id is OPTIONAL (inferred for a single-project customer; project_id_required otherwise — then call list_projects). Use ad_status for run progress and get_ad for configuration/mapping. For the detailed error breakdown use get_ad_report.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool read-only and non-destructive, and the description goes well beyond that: it details the exact return fields, explains the meaning of productsRefreshing and productsSubmitting, and warns that reading mid-refresh yields stale data. It also discloses the isOverlimit/upgradeUrl relationship. This is deep, honest behavioral disclosure.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is long but every sentence earns its place, especially given the lack of an output schema. It is front-loaded with purpose and return shape, then provides polling/usage context. Dense but well organized, not padded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a status tool with no output schema and two parameters, the description fully covers return fields, field semantics, refresh/wait behavior, parameter provenance, optionality, and related tools. Nothing essential is missing.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, and it does. It explains ad_id is from list_ads and that project_id is optional but may be required depending on the customer, in which case list_projects should be called. This adds critical meaning beyond the bare integer schema.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Get the live run status of one ad: readiness, connection, and product counts.' It explicitly distinguishes ads from marketplaces and clarifies the scope is run progress, not configuration. It also differentiates from sibling tools by pointing to get_ad and get_ad_report.

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?

The description provides explicit when-to-use guidance: 'Use ad_status for run progress and get_ad for configuration/mapping. For the detailed error breakdown use get_ad_report.' It also specifies polling behavior after exports and when to call list_projects for project_id. This leaves no ambiguity about when/how to use the tool.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Tools are organized around distinct resources (ads, marketplaces, feeds, orders, rules, sources) with clear action verbs, and descriptions explicitly disambiguate near-pairs like get_feed_status vs ad_status or set_feed_filter vs set_feed_attribute_filter. A few similarly named status/action pairs (e.g. ad_status vs get_ad, run_ad_item_action vs run_ad_operation) require careful reading, but overall the purposes are separable.

Naming Consistency4/5

The overwhelming majority follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (list_*, get_*, create_*, set_*, run_*, test_*). Minor deviations like ad_status and marketplace_status (noun-based status tools) and koongo_knowledge break the pattern slightly, but the convention is clearly recognizable and predictable.

Tool Count1/5

At 105 tools, the surface is extreme and far beyond the 50+ threshold, even for a complex e-commerce integration domain. Much of the bloat comes from systematic triplication across ads, marketplaces, and feeds (e.g. three nearly identical map_*_attribute tools, three list_*_items, three get_*_report) that a generic resource parameter could have consolidated.

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers the full lifecycle of feeds, ads, marketplaces, order connections, rules, and imports, including create/read/update/delete, status monitoring, item-level actions, validation, repair, and restore. Minor gaps exist, such as no delete for standalone order connections and limited update capabilities for some entities, but these are workable and do not create dead ends for the core workflows.
