Read-onlyIdempotent

List pixels and datasets from an ad account or Business Manager, with actionable warnings for permission-limited edges.

Instructions

List pixels and datasets from an ad account or Business Manager when accessible, returning actionable warnings for permission-limited edges.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`limit`	No	Maximum number of returned items or rows. The declared bounds and default apply; use pagination for additional results.
`cursor`	No	Pagination cursor from previous response
`businessId`	No	Business Manager ID for owned/client pixels and datasets.
`adAccountId`	No	Ad account ID for /adspixels and offline conversion datasets.
`includeDatasets`	No	Also attempt dataset/offline conversion dataset edges.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`result`	Yes	Original tool result: parsed JSON when the text is JSON, otherwise the text or multiple MCP content blocks. Provider fields depend on the selected query.

A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds useful behavior: it returns 'actionable warnings' for permission-limited edges, which is not in annotations. This enriches the agent's understanding of potential partial results.

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?

A single sentence that is concise and front-loads the core purpose before mentioning the warning behavior. Every word contributes to the agent's understanding.

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?

The presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values, and the description covers the key behavioral nuance (warnings). However, it doesn't clarify edge cases like when both businessId and adAccountId are provided or how pagination interacts with warnings, but these are minor given the output schema exists.

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 the schema already documents all parameters (limit, cursor, businessId, adAccountId, includeDatasets). The description adds no extra parameter-level semantics, but it doesn't need to since the schema is complete. Baseline 3 is 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 specifies a clear verb ('List') and resource ('pixels and datasets') with context (ad account or Business Manager). However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this from siblings like meta_get_business_assets or meta_get_entity_configuration, which could also list related assets.

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?

The description mentions 'when accessible' and 'permission-limited edges', indicating conditional use, but it does not explicitly state when NOT to use it or point to alternatives. Given the many sibling tools, more specific routing would be helpful.

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