tiktok get pixels

tiktok_get_pixels
Read-onlyIdempotent

List TikTok pixels and, when permitted, their event metadata for an advertiser, with fallback warnings when endpoints are unavailable.

Instructions

List TikTok pixels and, when permissions allow it, pixel event metadata for an advertiser. Falls back with explicit warnings when endpoints are unavailable.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bcIdNoOptional Business Center ID. Defaults to TIKTOK_BC_ID/TIKTOK_BUSINESS_CENTER_ID for BC pixel endpoints.
limitNoMaximum number of returned items or rows. The declared bounds and default apply; use pagination for additional results.
pixelIdsNoOptional pixel IDs/codes to inspect. If omitted, the tool discovers pixels from BC pixel endpoints first, then advertiser pixel/list.
advertiserIdYesTikTok advertiser ID
includeEventsNoAlso try to fetch pixel events for discovered or provided pixel IDs.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resultYesOriginal tool result: parsed JSON when the text is JSON, otherwise the text or multiple MCP content blocks. Provider fields depend on the selected query.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable context beyond those: pixel event metadata is only fetched 'when permissions allow it,' and the tool 'falls back with explicit warnings when endpoints are unavailable.' This discloses real-world failure modes.

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 compact sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the fallback/warning behavior is stated in one short second sentence.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a read-only listing tool with full schema coverage, annotations indicating safety, and an output schema, the description provides everything an agent needs to select and invoke the tool correctly. It also covers permissions and fallback behavior, which are the main practical uncertainties.

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%, so all five parameters are already documented in the schema. The description adds only a high-level reference to pixels, event metadata, and advertiser scope, but no meaningful parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'List TikTok pixels and, when permissions allow it, pixel event metadata for an advertiser.' It clearly states the operation's scope and differentiates the tool from siblings by focusing on the pixel resource rather than campaigns, ads, or audiences.

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 explicit guidance is given for when to use this tool versus alternatives like tiktok_get_events or other listing tools. The description mentions permission limits and fallback behavior, but it does not state when this tool should be preferred or when another sibling would be more appropriate.

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