copy_ad_clone_structure

Prepare a same-account 1:1 campaign/ad-set tree clone, keeping each ad's creative. Pass ad_account_id and exactly one source_campaign_id or source_adset_id; copies=1-10. paused is default; inherit may resume spend. Use copy_ad_quick_copy to expand selected ads. Review exclusions, then launch_confirm after approval Use the workflow's original link_id when exposed.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, destructive=false, openWorld=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that: 'paused is default; inherit may resume spend' warns that a status choice can restart spend, and the reference to review/approval implies a staged, non-immediate mutation. It stops short of stating auth requirements or whether the copy is reversible, so not a full 5.

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?

Front-loads purpose, then packs constraints, defaults, alternatives, and next steps into a compact paragraph with no filler sentences. Structure is dense rather than wasteful, though it runs on and has a missing punctuation break before 'Use the workflow's original link_id when exposed', slightly hurting readability.

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

Completeness4/5

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 needn't be described. For a complex 8-parameter, staged-clone tool the description covers purpose, key inputs, defaults, and the confirm workflow. It is nearly complete but omits guidance on engagement_mode and start_time, which an agent would need to call correctly.

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 0%, so the description carries the burden. It explains ad_account_id, the source_campaign_id/source_adset_id exclusivity, copies=1-10, and the paused default. However, it leaves engagement_mode (preserve_post/new_creatives), start_time, and connection_context entirely undocumented, so several parameters remain opaque.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Prepare a same-account 1:1 campaign/ad-set tree clone, keeping each ad's creative.' It also scopes it ('same-account 1:1') and explicitly distinguishes itself from a named sibling ('Use copy_ad_quick_copy to expand selected ads'), so an agent can tell the two apart without opening either schema.

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?

Gives the prerequisite inputs ('ad_account_id and exactly one source_campaign_id or source_adset_id'), the range limit ('copies=1-10'), the alternative tool for a different workflow ('copy_ad_quick_copy to expand selected ads'), and the downstream sequence ('Review exclusions, then launch_confirm after approval'). This is explicit routing and workflow context.

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