Spytrend

Get ad by id (with media)

get_ad

Read-only

Fetch a single ad by its id with FULL details including its creative media: the full ad TEXT in body, body_chars (its length in UTF-8 characters), title, creative URL, geos, status, advertiser. body is absent when the ad genuinely has no text; body_chars is absent when the length could not be read — never read an absent field as zero. Media urls on media.spytrend.com are permanent; a media entry with expiring=true is the original signed Facebook CDN link of a not-yet-mirrored fresh ad — it dies within hours/days, NEVER put it into reports or exports (re-fetch the ad later for the permanent link). QUOTA: 50 tokens for a multilang-upload ad opening; 1 token for an ordinary ad. The price includes the available media returned with this card. Each new opening call is charged separately; no subscription to an individual ad is created. A blurred card or a response without usable media is not charged. With source=tiktok: 100 tokens per delivered TikTok row. MULTILANG CONTENT: get_ad and get_media(ad) use the same full detail carousel. primary_creative identifies its selected first creative; primary_creative_selection.status describes selected, fallback or unavailable. carousel_position is the original 1-based carousel position, not the returned array index. Missing/unconfirmed selected primary media is not charged or disclosed; both tools report primary_creative_unavailable. Per-slide title/body/link_url describe that slide; when the API omits a slide override, the ad-level value is supplied as its fallback, consistently in both tools. original_landing_domain describes the original ad, while creative_destination_url/domain describe the primary creative's destination. cloaking_detected is a detected domain/copy mismatch, not a verified redirect or a guarantee that a creative is black. Actual per-call debit is reported in _meta.billing.tokens_charged, in Spytrend quota tokens (not model tokens); admin may be exempt.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`id`	Yes	the ad id to fetch (with source=tiktok: a TikTok ad id from search_ads source=tiktok results)
`source`	No	ad corpus: meta (default, 1 token — delivers the ad's media) or tiktok (⚠️ 100 tokens per TikTok ad row; Pro plan required)

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`data`	No
`error`	No	Present only when isError is true: machine-readable failure. The human explanation stays in content.
`params`	No	Request parameter echo: applied = parameters that shaped this result; normalized = parameters rewritten before applying (alias, type coercion, resolved id); ignored = parameters that were accepted but NOT applied, with the reason.
`source`	No
`tiktok_data`	No

TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare a safe read operation, but the description discloses substantial runtime behavior beyond them: per-call quota pricing (1/50/100 tokens), the fact that each opening is charged separately with no subscription, that uncharged blurred/absent-media responses occur, and that media with expiring=true is a short-lived signed link unsafe for reports.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The first sentence is well front-loaded, but the body is a very long single-paragraph wall of text for a two-parameter tool, with several MULTILANG/carousel/cloaking details that overlap the existing output schema. Much of it earns its place, yet the volume and density are excessive.

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?

Given an output schema exists, the description goes well beyond what is required: it explains absent-field semantics, media permanence, primary_creative selection states, and billing reporting via _meta.billing.tokens_charged. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description meaningfully augments the source enum ('tiktok' costs 100 tokens and requires Pro) and clarifies that id under source=tiktok is a TikTok id from search_ads results. This adds cost/format meaning beyond the schema text.

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 opening states a specific verb and resource ('Fetch a single ad by its id with FULL details including its creative media') and enumerates the returned fields. It also differentiates scope from the related get_media(ad) tool and from search_ads (source=tiktok results), so an agent can identify it 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 Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied — fetch a single ad when you have an id — and it notes the tiktok source is Pro-only and costly. However, there is no explicit routing guidance telling the agent when to pick get_ad over get_creative, get_media, or search_ads, and no stated exclusions.

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