Agent Central

Search terms

get_search_terms

Read-only

Returns customer search terms that triggered Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands ads. Defaults to ad_product=auto, searching both SP and SB and returning ad_product on each row; set ad_product when you need one product only. Filter on the aggregated per-term totals with min_spend, min_orders, or zero_orders_only; these run server-side after grouping, so questions like which terms spent money without converting (zero_orders_only=true with min_spend) answer in one bounded call. Recent ~3 days may be incomplete. Does not include bidded target performance or Brand Analytics market volume/share; use get_keyword_performance or get_search_query_performance for those.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`limit`	No	Max rows (1-1000, default 20).
`offset`	No	Pagination offset (0-100000, default 0). Use the returned pagination.next_offset to continue.
`keyword`	No	Filter by matched keyword text (LIKE match, use % for wildcards).
`sort_by`	No	Column to sort by	spend
`end_date`	No	Optional. YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to today if omitted.
`min_spend`	No	Keep only search-term groups whose total spend in the window is at least this amount. Applied server-side after grouping, so wasted-spend questions stay bounded.
`ad_product`	No	Sponsored ad product to search. Defaults to auto, which searches both Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands search-term reports and returns ad_product on each row.	auto
`match_type`	No	Filter by match type or auto-targeting expression type
`min_orders`	No	Keep only search-term groups with at least this many orders in the window. Applied server-side after grouping.
`profile_id`	No	Filter by profile ID
`sort_order`	No	Sort order	desc
`start_date`	No	Optional. YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to 30 days ago if omitted.
`ad_group_id`	No	Filter by ad group ID.
`campaign_id`	No	Filter by campaign ID. With ad_product=auto, searches matching SP and SB search-term reports.
`search_term`	No	Filter by customer search term (LIKE match, use % for wildcards).
`ad_group_name`	No	Filter by ad group name (LIKE match, use % for wildcards).
`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.
`zero_orders_only`	No	Keep only search-term groups with zero orders in the window (spend without conversion). Combine with min_spend to surface meaningful wasted spend in one bounded call.
`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

A4.1/5.0

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. Beyond that the description adds real value: filters run server-side after grouping, and 'Recent ~3 days may be incomplete' is a freshness caveat an agent cannot get from annotations or schema. It does not discuss how the aggregation groups rows (per term vs per term+keyword) or cost/latency behavior, so it remains a solid but partial addition.

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-loaded with purpose, then default behavior, then filtering, then freshness, then exclusions — a sensible order with no filler sentences. Some clauses are semicolon-dense (the ad_product default sentence repeats the schema), but nothing is wasted enough to hurt 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?

For a 20-parameter, zero-required reporting tool with annotations and an output schema, the description covers the pieces an agent most needs: aggregation-then-filter ordering, cross-product default behavior, data freshness, and tool boundaries. Pagination (limit/offset), sorting, and field-level filters are left entirely to the schema, which is acceptable given 100% coverage.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3 and the description must add cross-parameter meaning to score higher. It does: ad_product=auto searches both SP and SB reports and returns ad_product per row, and zero_orders_only is explicitly meant to be combined with min_spend because both apply after grouping. That combination semantics is not derivable from the individual parameter descriptions alone.

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 ("Returns customer search terms that triggered Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands ads") and scopes it explicitly to ad-attributed search terms. It then names what it is not ('Does not include bidded target performance or Brand Analytics market volume/share') and routes to get_keyword_performance and get_search_query_performance, so an agent can separate it from the many sibling search/keyword tools without opening schemas.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives clear when-to guidance: default ad_product=auto for cross-product questions, set ad_product for single-product work, and use min_spend/min_orders/zero_orders_only when the question is about post-aggregation filtering, with a concrete example ('which terms spent money without converting'). Exclusions point to sibling tools. It stops short of stating when a caller should prefer get_search_query_performance over this tool in an otherwise ambiguous query, so it is strong but not fully disambiguated.

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