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 may be issued to your account for a limited time — download them promptly rather than storing them, and call get_ad again when a link stops working; a media entry with expiring=true is the original signed Facebook CDN link of a not-yet-mirrored fresh ad — it may die even sooner (re-fetch the ad later for our mirrored link). QUOTA: 50 MCP credits for a multilang-upload ad opening; 1 MCP credit 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: 10 MCP credits 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 MCP credits (not model tokens); admin may be exempt. PRICING: on paid plans ×1 after 500 MCP credits/month; one-time consent via accept_pricing_terms; before calling, get the maximum debit from estimate_cost (free) and tell the user.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as read-only, open-world, and non-destructive, but the description adds substantial behavioral detail beyond them: quota and billing mechanics, absence semantics for body and body_chars, expiring media links, TikTok pricing, multilang carousel behavior, primary creative status, and cloaking caveats. It does not contradict the annotations.

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 description is front-loaded with the core purpose, but it is very dense and lengthy, with repeated billing and pricing explanations across multiple sections. The information is relevant, yet some sentences could be tightened or consolidated without losing necessary meaning.

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 the tool’s complexity, output schema, annotations, and billing behavior, the description is complete enough to guide correct invocation. It covers media lifetime, quota, billing reconciliation via _meta.billing, multilang content semantics, and primary creative handling, so an agent has the operational context it needs.

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?

The schema has 100% description coverage for both parameters, including the source enum and its TikTok credit implications, so the schema already does most of the work. The description reinforces source=tiktok pricing and id provenance, but adds limited parameter-specific meaning beyond the 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 opening sentence states a specific verb and resource: fetch a single ad by id with full details and creative media. It also names the relevant sibling relationship by noting that get_ad and get_media(ad) share the same full detail carousel, which helps an agent distinguish the tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives clear operational context: call estimate_cost before invoking, accept pricing terms once, re-fetch when media links expire, and note TikTok-specific credit costs. It does not explicitly say when to prefer get_ad over get_media or search_ads in all cases, but it provides enough routing context for correct use.

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