ebay_get_campaign_negative_keywords

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only states the basic function. It does not disclose if this is a read-only operation, any authentication or permission requirements, pagination behavior, or what happens if no keywords exist.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence that communicates the tool's purpose. While minimal, it has no filler and is front-loaded. However, it could be improved by adding brief context on pagination.

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

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

There is no output schema, and the description does not explain the structure of the returned data (e.g., a list of keyword objects, pagination metadata). The agent lacks information about what to expect from the response.

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

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

The input schema has 100% coverage, so the parameters (campaignId, limit, offset) are already documented. The description adds no additional semantics or usage hints beyond what the schema provides.

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

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

The description clearly states the verb and resource: 'Get all campaign-level negative keywords.' It distinguishes from the singular variant ebay_get_campaign_negative_keyword. However, 'all' may be slightly misleading given the existence of pagination parameters (limit, offset) in the schema.

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

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as ebay_get_campaign_negative_keyword (singular), bulk operations, or keyword retrieval tools. The description does not mention prerequisites or exclusion criteria.

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