tiktok_top_ads_locations

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it 'returns available Top Ads location filters' but does not disclose any behavioral traits like rate limits, authentication needs, or data freshness. The behavior is minimal (no params), but transparency is lacking.

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 concise at two sentences, front-loading the main purpose. There is no unnecessary information, though it could be more efficient by merging the two sentences.

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?

Without an output schema, the description should hint at the return format or structure. It only vaguely mentions 'available Top Ads location filters', which lacks specificity (e.g., are they country codes, region names?). For a simple tool, more detail would improve completeness.

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 is empty with no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter-specific information, but none is needed. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 TikTok Top Ads locations and returns available location filters. It uses a specific verb 'Retrieve' and identifies the resource. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling 'tiktok_top_ads_location_info', though the mention of 'filters' provides some differentiation.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus other top ads tools, such as when to get location filters versus location details or lists. There is no mention of prerequisites or context.

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