C2.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds two useful facts – the scope is the caller's own library and results are ordered newest first – but it leaves unexplained what "picking" actually does (presumably returning a selectable set of up to max_select creatives), which is the key behavioral question here.

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 front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. Brevity is appropriate in form, though the sentence is under-loaded rather than over-loaded.

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-value shape needn't be spelled out. But with four completely undescribed parameters and an ambiguous "pick" verb relative to many sibling creatives_* tools, the definition falls well short of what an agent needs to invoke it confidently.

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 all four parameters (q, limit, max_select, folder_name), so the description must compensate and does not: no parameter is mentioned or explained. "Newest first" hints at ordering but does not map to any argument, leaving q and folder_name semantics entirely undocumented.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

It states a verb ("Choose") and resource ("creatives from the caller's library") plus an ordering ("newest first"), so the surface action is legible. But "choose/pick" is not distinguished from close siblings such as creatives_list, creatives_top, and assets_pick, so an agent cannot tell from the description alone which one it wants.

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?

No when-to-use context, no prerequisites, and no named alternatives are given. The phrase "from the caller's library" vaguely implies scope but does not tell the agent when to prefer this over creatives_list or creatives_top.

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