google ads get video upload

google_ads_get_video_upload
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read a Google Ads video upload's processing state and YouTube video ID; use the returned videoId only after state is PROCESSED. This does not re-upload.

Instructions

Read the processing state and YouTube video ID of one Google Ads upload in the selected customer. Use only the returned videoId after state=PROCESSED. This is a read; it does not upload again.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
currencyYesActual customer currency, verified before reading the upload.
uploadIdYesNumeric upload ID returned by google_ads_upload_video.
customerIdYesGoogle Ads customer ID, without hyphens.
loginCustomerIdNoOptional MCC manager ID; defaults to the configured manager.
testAccountOnlyNoRequire customer.test_account=true; enable for sandbox checks.

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

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuine behavioral context beyond them: the PROCESSED gating rule and the explicit clarification that this call does not re-upload. It omits failure behavior for non-PROCESSED states or expired uploads.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with what is read, followed by the gating rule and the read-only disclaimer. No filler or restatement of the title.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With an output schema present and rich annotations, the description need not explain return values or safety, and it correctly focuses on the PROCESSED precondition. Minor gap: no mention of what to expect for pending/failed states or the MCC/currency constraints that affect the call.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so every parameter including currency, uploadId and testAccountOnly is already documented in the schema. The description only implies the customer scoping and the uploadId's provenance, adding little beyond what structured fields provide; baseline 3 applies.

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 — read processing state and YouTube video ID of one Google Ads upload — scoped to a single customer. It is clearly distinguishable from sibling listing tools like google_ads_list_video_assets and from the upload tool that produced the uploadId.

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?

"Use only the returned videoId after state=PROCESSED" gives an explicit precondition for downstream use, and "it does not upload again" rules out a plausible misread of the tool's role. It stops short of naming a specific sibling alternative to use when the state is not PROCESSED.

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