ChatGPT Ads MCP server

openai ads get bulk job

openai_ads_get_bulk_job
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetches status and details for one submitted Bulk API job in a ChatGPT Ads account; completed jobs still require reading each operation result and native entities.

Instructions

Read one Bulk API job (limited preview, enabled per account). Only completed, partially_failed and failed are terminal. A completed job still requires reading every operation result and the native entities.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
jobIdYesNative bulk job ID, blkmtnjob_ followed by its identifier, returned when the job was submitted.
adAccountIdYesThe adacct_ ID configured in OPENAI_ADS_ACCOUNT_ID. The API key is scoped to this one account; another ID is refused.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resultYesOriginal tool result: parsed JSON when the text is JSON, otherwise the text or multiple MCP content blocks. Provider fields depend on the selected query.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the safety annotations, the description explicitly details complex behavioral requirements, such as the job states that are terminal. It also enforces a critical next step: even for a completed job, the agent must read every operation result.

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?

The description uses two highly dense, well-structured sentences. Both sentences carry maximum information with no wasted words, front-loading constraints and critical operational steps.

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?

Given that handling bulk API jobs involves state management and subsequent action, the description is entirely complete. It informs the agent about the status lifecycle and the mandatory follow-up step of reading operation results.

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?

Since schema coverage is 100%, the description focuses on providing the operational context and lifecycle of the bulk job, rather than redundant parameter explanations. This semantic focus adds significant value beyond the structural schema.

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?

The purpose is immediately clear: to 'Read one Bulk API job'. It is specifically scoped to a limited preview feature enabled per account, which differentiates it from generic job fetching tools.

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?

While it does not specify the exact workflow (when to call it), it provides essential usage context by defining the terminal states of a job (completed, partially_failed, failed). This tells the agent when the tool will be effective.

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