tiktok get uploaded video

tiktok_get_uploaded_video
Read-onlyIdempotent

Reads one uploaded video from an advertiser's TikTok media library and returns it only after duration and dimensions are available, so you can verify a video is processed without re-uploading.

Instructions

Read one uploaded video from this advertiser’s media library. Returns ready only after its media information is available with positive duration and dimensions. Does not upload again.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
videoIdYesExact uploaded video ID returned by TikTok.
advertiserIdYesExact TikTok numeric ID as a string, never a rounded JavaScript number.

Output 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

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive behavior, so the bar is lower. The description adds meaningful context beyond annotations: readiness is conditional on positive duration and dimensions, and it clarifies that this call 'Does not upload again.'

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?

The description is three short sentences, front-loaded with the core action, then the readiness condition, then the non-upload clarification. There is little wasted text.

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 simple two-parameter read tool with an output schema and rich annotations, the description is nearly complete. It explains scope and readiness behavior, though it could explicitly route agents away from list/asset siblings.

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 both parameters are already documented as exact TikTok IDs. The description reinforces that the video belongs to 'this advertiser’s media library' but does not add syntax or format details beyond 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?

The description gives a specific verb and resource: 'Read one uploaded video from this advertiser’s media library.' The phrase 'one uploaded video' helps distinguish it from list-style siblings such as tiktok_list_ad_videos, but no sibling is explicitly named.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is implied by the scope ('from this advertiser’s media library') and the required advertiserId/videoId pair, but the description never states when to use this instead of tiktok_get_video_assets or tiktok_list_ad_videos. No exclusions or prerequisites are given.

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