Agent Central

Bid recommendations

get_bid_recommendations

Read-only

Get Amazon's suggested Sponsored Products keyword bids. Requires either ASINs for a new ad group context or both campaign_id and ad_group_id for an existing ad group. Returns Amazon's recommended bid with low and high range for each keyword. This is Sponsored Products only; for Sponsored Brands Amazon provides a campaign-level suggested CPC (minimum and recommended), not per-keyword bids, via get_sponsored_ads_targeting_options with ad_product=SB, option_type=bid_recommendations, and landing_pages.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`asins`	No	ASINs for a new ad group context. Provide this or both campaign_id and ad_group_id.
`keywords`	Yes	Keywords to get bid recommendations for
`profile_id`	No	Numeric Amazon Ads profile ID. Optional when this API key has exactly one enabled Ads profile; agentcentral will default it. Call get_account_info for amazon_ads.enabled_profile_ids. Do not use the marketplace ID, tenant ID, or API key prefix.
`ad_group_id`	No	Existing ad group ID to use for bid recommendations. Requires campaign_id.
`campaign_id`	No	Existing campaign ID to use for bid recommendations. Requires ad_group_id.
`bidding_strategy`	No	Bidding strategy for new ad group recommendations. Ignored when campaign_id and ad_group_id are provided.
`include_raw_rows`	No	For tabular results, false returns compact rows capped at MCP_TEXT_ROW_PREVIEW_LIMIT (default 10), regardless of limit. Complete-page and custom non-tabular responses may ignore this option; see tool-specific notes. Default true; large full-row responses are capped separately. Freshness fields require include_diagnostics=true in either row mode, where supported.
`include_diagnostics`	No	True enables expanded freshness diagnostics. Where supported, snapshot_capture_at and snapshot_data_through_date are populated only when include_diagnostics=true, in both compact and full-row modes; values may still be null if source data is unavailable. Default false. Basic empty-result data-window diagnostics are included by default when available.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered; the description adds value by disclosing the return shape (recommended bid plus low/high range per keyword) and the important asymmetry that Sponsored Brands only yields a campaign-level suggested CPC rather than per-keyword bids. It stops short of mentioning rate limits, freshness behavior, or batch caps, which are the remaining behavioral gaps.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then prerequisites, then the cross-product routing rule. The longer third sentence is dense but every clause carries actionable routing information (product, endpoint, and parameters), so nothing is padding.

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?

With an output schema present, the description need not enumerate return fields and it doesn't over-explain them. For an 8-parameter read-only tool with full schema coverage this is nearly complete; only operational details such as the 100-keyword/50-ASIN caps and freshness expectations are absent from the prose.

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 bidding_strategy's 'ignored when campaign_id and ad_group_id are provided' note and the include_raw_rows/include_diagnostics flags) is already documented in structured form. The description reinforces the asins-vs-IDs exclusivity and the new-vs-existing ad group distinction, but adds no syntax, format, or constraint detail beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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 first sentence is a specific verb+resource+scope: "Get Amazon's suggested Sponsored Products keyword bids." It explicitly bounds the tool to Sponsored Products and later names the sibling that handles Sponsored Brands, so an agent can distinguish it from get_sponsored_ads_targeting_options and get_sp_targeting_options without opening any 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?

It states the two mutually exclusive calling modes (ASINs for a new ad group, or campaign_id + ad_group_id for an existing one) and names the exact alternative for the out-of-scope case, including the parameter values needed there (ad_product=SB, option_type=bid_recommendations, landing_pages). That is explicit when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance with a named fallback.

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