Campaign snapshots

get_campaign_snapshots

Read-only

Use for Sponsored Products campaign settings snapshots from the campaign_snapshots sync. view='history' returns daily state, budget, bidding, portfolio, and placement bid adjustment rows. view='changes' returns observed setting differences between daily snapshots, including changes made in the console or through the API. It requires at least two days of snapshots and cannot show intermediate changes between captures. This is not a live write readback and does not return performance metrics; use get_campaign_performance for metrics.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`view`	No	Snapshot view: history returns daily settings snapshots; changes returns setting deltas between snapshots.	history
`limit`	No	Max rows (1-1000, default 20).
`state`	No	History view only. Filter by campaign state
`offset`	No	Pagination offset (0-100000, default 0). Use the returned pagination.next_offset to continue.
`sort_by`	No	History view only. Column to sort by. Changes view sorts by snapshot_date.
`end_date`	No	Optional. YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to today.
`profile_id`	No	Filter by ad account profile ID
`sort_order`	No	Sort order	desc
`start_date`	No	Optional. YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to 30 days ago.
`campaign_id`	No	Filter by campaign ID
`change_types`	No	Changes view only. Optional change types to include
`campaign_name`	No	Filter by campaign name (LIKE match, use % for wildcards)
`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.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`evidence`	No

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely useful behavior beyond that: the minimum two-day data requirement, the inability to surface intermediate changes between captures, and the fact that this is not a live write readback — all of which set expectations an agent could otherwise get wrong.

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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by view semantics, a limitation, and an exclusion. No repetition of the title or name, and every sentence carries information an agent needs.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a 14-parameter, two-mode read tool with a full schema and an output schema, the description covers purpose, mode differences, data-freshness constraints, and sibling routing. Return-value detail is correctly delegated to the output schema, so nothing essential is missing.

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 coverage is 100% and each parameter is already documented, including the view enum, date defaults, and view-only filters. The description reinforces the semantics of view='history' versus view='changes' but does not add new parameter-level detail such as interaction between change_types and view or how date ranges behave in the changes view, so 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 description names a specific resource (Sponsored Products campaign settings snapshots) and a specific source (the campaign_snapshots sync), then spells out exactly what each of the two views returns: daily state/budget/bidding/portfolio/placement rows vs. observed deltas between snapshots. It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like get_campaign_performance, which it explicitly excludes.

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 when each view applies, when the tool will not work ('requires at least two days of snapshots'), and names the specific alternative for metrics ('use get_campaign_performance for metrics'). That is explicit when-to-use, when-not, and alternative routing.

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