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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It only mentions the return type (chart and percentile) and metric values, but lacks details on behavioral traits like data freshness, authentication requirements, or whether the operation is read-only (likely read, but not stated).

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

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

The description is very concise with two sentences, no redundancy. It front-loads the purpose and then lists supported metrics. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separating parameter details).

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

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

For a tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain how the parameters affect the output, nor does it describe the structure of the returned chart or percentile. More detail is needed for effective use.

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

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

The input schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add extra nuance beyond the schema definitions (e.g., what values period_type can take or the format of material_id), so it does not exceed the baseline.

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

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Retrieve' and the resource 'TikTok Top Ads interactive time analysis', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like tiktok_top_ads_detail or tiktok_top_ads_filters. It specifies that it returns an interactive time analysis chart and percentile, making the purpose unambiguous.

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

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

The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Among many TikTok top ads sibling tools, no contextual hints about when to prefer this one (e.g., over tiktok_top_ads_detail or tiktok_top_ads_list) are given.

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