v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, but the description is brief and does not disclose behavioral traits such as pagination behavior, authentication requirements, rate limits, or data freshness. It only states the basic retrieval action.
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 sentences, front-loaded with the verb 'Retrieve'. Every word serves a purpose, no redundancy.
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 simple list tool with no output schema, the description is adequate but lacks details about the return format, behavior when params are omitted, or how the 'Spotlight' materials differ from other lists.
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?
Input schema has 100% description coverage (both page and limit are described). The description adds no additional parameter context beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 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 it retrieves TikTok Top Ads Spotlight materials handpicked by TikTok Creative Center, using a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like tiktok_top_ads_list by noting the curation aspect.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., tiktok_top_ads_list, tiktok_top_ads_analysis). The description only states what it does without context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
