TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds useful return-field context (ad ID, name, operation status, creative info) but says nothing about pagination behavior, result caps, or rate limits. It does not contradict the annotations.

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, zero filler, with the resource and scope front-loaded. Nothing to trim.

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 carry the safety semantics, so the description need not explain return values in depth. What remains missing is how this listing relates to the creatives/videos/spark-ads siblings and any pagination caveat hinted at by the limit parameter.

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% and all three parameters are documented in the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema — notably it never mentions the adgroupId filter that would let an agent scope the listing.

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?

Clear verb+resource: 'List ads for a TikTok advertiser', which distinguishes it from get_campaigns and get_adgroups by resource level. It does not, however, contrast itself with the nearby tiktok_get_creatives or tiktok_list_ad_videos siblings, so an agent must infer the boundary.

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?

The description supplies no when-to-use / when-not-to-use guidance and names no alternatives, despite ~30 sibling tools including creatives, spark ads, and ad videos that could plausibly be confused with this one. Only the phrase 'for a TikTok advertiser' implicitly signals the required advertiserId context.

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