Actor description: Every ad a domain or advertiser runs on Google, YouTube, Play, Maps and Shopping, from the Google Ads Transparency Center: advertiser, format, preview image, first and last shown. Find advertisers by name, monitor new ads. Licensed data, no blocked runs.

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare openWorldHint=true and destructiveHint=true, and the description adds useful context that the data is licensed and runs are not blocked. However, it never explains the destructiveHint=true flag (unusual for a read-style scraper) or the paid-plan requirement beyond the schema note, and it does not describe run lifecycle behavior beyond what waitSecs documents.

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 text is short and front-loaded, but the first sentence ('calls the Actor ... and retrieves its output results') is pure boilerplate that consumes roughly half the description without informing tool selection. The remaining actor blurb is dense and useful.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With an output schema present, return values need not be explained, and the actor blurb covers scope and data provenance. Still missing is guidance on the asynchronous run model (waitSecs cap, nextStep polling) and the paid-plan constraint, which are only buried in the schema.

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%, so every parameter including targets, onlyNew, and waitSecs is already documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

The description names a specific resource (Google Ads Transparency Center ads) and enumerates the returned fields (advertiser, format, preview image, first/last shown) plus the two use cases (find advertisers by name, monitor new ads). It is clear what the tool does, though the opening sentence is generic Actor-wrapper boilerplate that adds nothing.

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 only implied through phrases like 'Find advertisers by name, monitor new ads' and the schema's monitor-mode flag. There is no explicit guidance on when to pick this over siblings such as rowfeed--google-serp-api or rowfeed--google-shopping-prices, nor any mention of the get-actor-run/get-dataset-items follow-up path for long runs.

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