google ads list accounts

google_ads_list_accounts
Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists Google Ads customer accounts accessible with current credentials, including enabled child accounts under manager accounts, so you can identify which accounts you can access.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a genuinely non-obvious behavior: manager accounts trigger an attempt to also include enabled child accounts from customer_client. It stops short of describing what happens if the child lookup fails or any size/pagination limits.

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?

Two short sentences, zero waste, with the core listing behavior front-loaded and the conditional expansion behavior second. Nothing is padded or repeated from 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?

An output schema exists, so return-value detail is unnecessary, and annotations cover safety. What's missing is disambiguation from google_ads_get_account_hierarchy, which matters given ~33 sibling tools operating on the same account surface.

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?

Zero parameters, so the baseline is 4; nothing about argument semantics needs explaining. The description correctly does not waste space on parameter prose.

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

Purpose4/5

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

Specific verb+resource: 'List Google Ads customer accounts accessible with the current credentials.' An agent knows exactly what it retrieves. However, it never distinguishes itself from the closely-related sibling google_ads_get_account_hierarchy (or get_account_details), which likely also enumerate accounts.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No when-to-use / when-not-to-use guidance and no mention of alternatives, despite a sibling (google_ads_get_account_hierarchy) that plausibly overlaps. The only hint is the implicit 'discovery' framing of listing accessible accounts.

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