TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds which study categories are returned (conversion lift, A/B) and that cells are included, which is modest added context but nothing on pagination, permissions, or result limits for an openWorld endpoint.

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 with zero filler, and the resource definition is front-loaded before the field inventory. Every sentence carries information.

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 one fully documented parameter and an output schema present, the definition need not explain return values, and it correctly limits itself to stating scope and included fields. It could be slightly more complete by noting pagination or the relationship to meta_get_study_results for drilling into results.

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?

There is a single parameter with 100% schema description coverage ('Ad account ID (e.g., act_123456789)'), so the schema fully documents it. The description adds no format or constraint detail beyond that, making baseline 3 appropriate.

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?

The description names a specific verb ('List') and resource ('conversion lift studies and A/B tests (Ad Studies)') scoped to an ad account, which is more precise than the tool name alone. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from the closely related sibling meta_get_study_results, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

Usage is only implied by the phrase 'for an ad account'; there is no statement of when to use this versus meta_get_study_results or meta_interpret_experiment_results, which occupy adjacent territory. No prerequisites or exclusions are given.

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