C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only the scope of the refresh (account plus Page cache) and says nothing about whether this is async, how expensive the external fetch is, or whether repeated calls are idempotent. With annotations carrying the safety burden, a 2 reflects minimal added behavioral value.

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?

A single short, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is efficient, though it is terse to the point of under-specification rather than being maximally informative.

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

Completeness2/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described. However, for a non-read-only, open-world tool with three undocumented parameters and no sibling routing, the description leaves the agent without enough to call it correctly in context.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% across three parameters, and the description compensates for none of them. 'Account' loosely maps to ad_account_id and 'Page cache' hints at page_id, but connection_context (with its mctx_v1_ pattern) is entirely unexplained, so the caller gets no help on required formats or optional-parameter effects.

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 (refresh) and resource (one ad account) plus the side effect on the connection Page cache. It implicitly distinguishes itself from assets_refresh_all by scoping to 'one account', but it never names that sibling, so an agent must infer the distinction from the 'one' qualifier alone.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this versus assets_refresh_all, assets_list_ad_accounts, or any of the other assets_* tools. No prerequisites (e.g. an established connection context) or rate/latency expectations are given.

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