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

The description adds pagination and filter capabilities beyond the readOnlyHint annotation. However, it does not disclose additional behavioral traits like authentication requirements, rate limits, or response structure.

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?

Extremely concise single sentence, front-loaded with the primary action and resource. Every clause serves a purpose without redundancy.

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?

Given 5 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core listing and filtering but omits default values (page, perPage), optional status enum details, and response format. It is adequate but has gaps.

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?

With only 20% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but merely lists filter types (campaign, status, search query) without adding meaning or format details beyond parameter names. The searchQuery parameter description in schema is not reiterated.

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 tool lists advertiser creatives with pagination, using specific verb 'List' and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_campaigns or list_audiences by specifying 'creatives'.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the name implies listing creatives, there is no mention of when not to use it or how it differs from other list tools among many siblings.

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