snapchat get creatives

snapchat_get_creatives
Read-onlyIdempotent

List Snapchat creatives for a specified ad account with native configuration and cursor-based pagination to retrieve all creatives.

Instructions

List Snapchat creatives in the selected account, retaining full native configuration and pagination (next_cursor). An ad squad is an ad group/ad set.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
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 meaningful behavior beyond that: results retain full native configuration rather than a normalized subset, and pagination flows through next_cursor.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two compact sentences with the core purpose front-loaded and no filler. The trailing glossary sentence is slightly tangential but earns its place as domain clarification.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With an output schema, rich annotations, and fully described parameters, the remaining burden is disambiguation from the near-identical sibling lister, which the description does not address. Otherwise adequate for a simple read-only list tool.

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 all three parameters are already documented, including the cursor/next_cursor flow. The description's mention of pagination and next_cursor reinforces but does not extend the schema.

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 clear verb+resource ('List Snapchat creatives') scoped to the selected account, and notes it returns full native configuration. However, it never distinguishes itself from the very similar sibling 'snapchat_list_ad_creatives', leaving the agent to guess which lister to use.

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 guidance on when to use this instead of snapchat_list_ad_creatives, or whether it should be called before snapchat_get_creative_elements. The second sentence only defines 'ad squad' terminology, not usage conditions.

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