TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context by enumerating the returned field categories, but says nothing about behavior on invalid/suspended accounts, rate limits, or the implications of openWorldHint (a live external call).

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?

One front-loaded sentence with the verb and resource first and the payload described after the colon. No filler, no repetition 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?

An output schema exists and annotations cover safety and idempotency, so return-value and safety detail are not the description's burden. For a one-parameter read, the description is nearly complete; only the relationship to sibling account-level tools is left implicit.

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?

Single parameter with 100% schema description coverage including an 'act_123456789' format example, so the schema carries the load. The description adds nothing about the ID format (e.g., that the act_ prefix is expected) or validation, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb ('Get detailed information') and a specific resource ('a specific Meta ad account'), then enumerates the fields returned. It is clearly distinct from meta_list_ad_accounts by being single-account scoped, but it never names that sibling to make the contrast explicit.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The phrase 'for a specific' implies you must already have an ad account ID, which is reasonable implicit guidance. However, there is no statement of when to prefer this over meta_list_ad_accounts or meta_get_business_assets, and no prerequisites or error conditions are given.

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