get_adset_details

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It states that access_token is optional and a cached token will be used if not provided, which is useful. However, it does not disclose return format, possible errors, or side effects, though the presence of an output schema mitigates this.

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, starting with a clear one-sentence purpose, followed by a structured Args block and a brief example. No wasted words, though the example is somewhat redundant.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity, the description covers the essential parameters and provides an example. The existence of an output schema covers return values. However, it lacks usage guidelines and prerequisites, making it minimally complete.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains adset_id as 'Meta Ads ad set ID' and access_token as optional with cached fallback, adding meaning beyond the schema. However, it lacks format or source details for the ID.

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 gets detailed information about a specific ad set, using a specific verb (get) and resource (ad set). It distinguishes from siblings like get_adsets (list) and get_ad_details (ad-level details).

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 implies use when you need details for a single ad set, but does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions. Sibling tool names like get_adsets suggest listing, but no direct guidance is provided.

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