TikTok Ads MCP Server

TikTok Ads MCP Server

List hosted tools

list_hosted_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists hosted TikTok Ads tools with one-line descriptions, showing which ad account actions an agent can perform after connecting; returns a Markdown table.

Instructions

List the tools of the hosted TikTok Ads MCP server by AdKit (https://mcp.adkit.so/tiktok-ads), with one line on what each tool does. Use this to explain what an agent can do with ad accounts after connecting, such as creating campaigns, pulling performance or uploading media. Returns a Markdown table. It does not call those tools; they only run on the hosted server.

Tool call template

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real context beyond that: the return format is a Markdown table and the listed tools are only runnable on the hosted server, preventing a false expectation that this tool executes them.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three tight sentences: what it lists, when to use it, what it returns and what it does not do. Purpose is front-loaded and every sentence adds information.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a zero-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description supplies the return format (Markdown table), the content of each entry (one line per tool), and the key behavioral caveat about remote execution. Nothing an agent needs to select or call it is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly implies no input is required.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('List the tools of the hosted TikTok Ads MCP server by AdKit') with the server URL and output granularity ('one line on what each tool does'). That is clearly distinct from siblings like list_ad_platforms (platforms, not MCP tools) and get_faq/get_setup_guide.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives an explicit use case: 'explain what an agent can do with ad accounts after connecting,' plus concrete examples (creating campaigns, pulling performance, uploading media). It also states a boundary — it does not invoke those tools — but does not explicitly contrast itself against the named siblings.

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