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

Discloses default values for four parameters (period, page, limit, order_by) indicating read behavior, but lacks details on side effects or rate limits given no annotations.

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?

Two focused sentences with no superfluous content, efficiently conveying the tool's purpose and key additions.

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 list retrieval tool with 13 parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers defaults and filter sourcing, though it omits output structure details.

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?

All parameters have schema descriptions (100% coverage), and the description adds default values for four parameters and references an external filters endpoint, offering some extra guidance.

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 tool retrieves top ads from TikTok Creative Center, distinguishing it from sibling tools like detail or analysis tools.

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?

Provides guidance on using the /tiktok/top-ads/filters endpoint for dynamic values, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or exclusions.

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