Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
campaignIdYes
adGroupIdYes
orgIdNoOverride the org (account) for this call. Defaults to ASA_ORG_ID. Use the `org_acls` tool to discover orgIds.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. The description 'Fetch' implies read-only, but does not disclose behavior such as what happens if the ad group is not found, authorization requirements, or rate limits.

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?

Extremely concise at one sentence, but at the cost of omitting important details. While front-loaded, it lacks completeness for an effective tool description.

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?

Given the simplicity of the tool (3 params, no output schema), the description is insufficient. It does not mention required identifiers or return value, leaving the agent with incomplete context.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 33% (only orgId described). The tool description adds no explanation for campaignId or adGroupId, which are required and lack documentation. The description fails to compensate for low schema coverage.

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 'Fetch a single ad group' clearly specifies the action and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like adgroups_list (multiple) and adgroups_create (mutation).

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 guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., adgroups_find_in_campaign, adgroups_list). The description does not mention prerequisites or context.

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