  {"callout_text": "Price Match Guarantee"}
]

Requirements:

  • Minimum 2 callouts recommended

  • Maximum 10 callouts per campaign

Returns: Callout extension creation result

Example: google_ads_add_callout_extension( customer_id="1234567890", campaign_id="12345678", callouts_json='[{"callout_text": "Free Shipping"}, {"callout_text": "24/7 Support"}]' )

Implementation Reference

  • The MCP tool handler function 'google_ads_add_callout_extension' that accepts customer_id, campaign_id, and callouts_json, validates input, creates CalloutConfig objects, and delegates to ExtensionsManager.add_callout_extension.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It states the tool adds callouts (a mutation) and mentions requirements, but does not disclose error handling, side effects, or prerequisites like permissions. This is adequate but not comprehensive.

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 well-structured with clear sections, front-loaded purpose, and an example. Every sentence adds value, and there is no redundancy. It is concise yet informative.

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 mutation tool with 3 parameters and an output schema (present but not shown), the description covers input requirements adequately. It does not detail the output structure, but the existence of an output schema mitigates this. Slightly more detail on return format could raise to 5.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description adds significant value: specifies format for customer_id (10 digits, no hyphens), provides an example JSON array for callouts_json, and gives a full schema. This fully compensates for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 clearly states 'Add callout extensions to a campaign' and explains what callouts are. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like add_sitelink_extension or add_call_extension by specifying the type of extension.

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?

The description provides requirements (character limit, min/max callouts) and an example, helping the agent understand proper usage. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives or mention when not to use (e.g., when campaign already has max callouts).

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