snapchat get pixels

snapchat_get_pixels
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve the pixels for a selected Snapchat ad account before configuring conversion optimization or website audiences. Use the ad account UUID to identify the correct account.

Instructions

Read the pixels associated with the selected account before configuring conversion optimization or website audiences.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
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 safety is covered externally. The description adds only the sequencing rationale, saying nothing about whether all pixels are returned, whether an empty list is possible, or any account-permission requirements for an openWorld read.

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 short sentence, verb-first, with the usage precondition in the same clause. 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?

For a single-parameter read with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies enough to select and invoke correctly. The only minor gap is that it does not indicate whether the result set can be empty or how large it may be.

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 coverage is 100% and the adAccountId parameter already documents UUID format and the 'never an organization ID' caveat. The description's 'associated with the selected account' adds no syntax or scoping detail beyond the schema, so the 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 and resource ('Read the pixels') scoped to an account, which is clearly distinct from siblings like snapchat_get_segments or snapchat_get_mobile_apps. It does not explicitly name or rule out any sibling, but the resource noun alone is differentiating.

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?

Gives a concrete trigger: call it before configuring conversion optimization or website audiences. That is real usage context, though it states no exclusions or alternatives for cases where a different pixel/audience source might apply.

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