C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one piece of behavioral context — the eligibility gate on MAX_CONVERSIONS — but does not state whether the call validates the strategy, what it returns, or how eligibility failure surfaces; output schema covers return values only.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single sentence with no filler and the eligibility qualifier front-loaded. It is efficient but borders on under-specified rather than maximally concise.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With annotations, an output schema, and nested enum-constrained params, most structure is covered elsewhere, so the description only needs to add preview semantics and eligibility rules. It half-does that: the MAX_CONVERSIONS constraint is stated, but what a 'preview' actually computes and returns to the caller is left unexplained.

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 50%, and the description does contribute meaning beyond the schema by tying MAX_CONVERSIONS to App Store Search Results eligibility, which the schema's enums do not express. However it says nothing about the required campaignId/adAccountId scoping or the conditional bid/bidStrategyGoal pairing enforced by dependentRequired.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The fragment names a specific verb ('Preview') and resource ('...strategy') and enumerates the two supported strategy types, but never says it applies to a campaign-level bid strategy; only the tool name supplies that scope. It also leaves 'preview' undefined, so an agent cannot distinguish it cleanly from ad_group_bid_preview, keyword_bid_preview, or campaign_update_preview.

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?

There is no when-to-use statement and no named alternative. The only constraint offered is an implicit eligibility condition ('eligible App Store Search Results' for MAX_CONVERSIONS), which is a precondition rather than guidance on choosing this tool over siblings.

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