💡 Usage examples
Each prompt below is a real Claude Desktop session. Some of these are single-tool-call patterns ("get me X"); some require Claude to chain multiple calls + aggregate the results (noted where).
Single-call patterns (fast, cheap)
What's Nike's follower count on Facebook?
→ Uses facebook_get_page_details (1 credit)
Get the latest 9 posts from facebook.com/EngenSA
→ Uses facebook_get_page_posts with limit=9 (1-3 credits depending on actual returned count)
Show me the Meta ads currently running for "Apple Vision Pro" in Germany
→ Uses facebook_ads_search (1 credit)Multi-call patterns (Claude orchestrates these — but it's slower + more expensive)
Compare engagement on Nike vs Adidas's last 9 Facebook posts
→ Claude calls facebook_get_page_posts twice (~2-6 credits total),
aggregates reactions/comments/shares per post, returns a comparison.
What are people saying in the comments on Coca-Cola's last 3 posts?
→ Claude calls facebook_get_page_posts (1 credit) then
facebook_get_post_comments 3 times (3 credits) and summarizes.
Show me marketplace listings for "PlayStation 5" under $400 in Berlin
→ Claude calls facebook_marketplace_city_coordinates (1 credit) +
facebook_marketplace_search with filters (1 credit).What this MCP server does NOT do
Some queries look natural in a chat ("compare engagement over the last month") but require aggregations the API doesn't expose as a single tool yet. Claude can still answer them, but it'll fan out into many tool calls — which is slow + expensive.
Query shape | Why it's hard |
"Engagement rate over the last 30 days" for a page | Requires fetching every post in the date range (paginated, |
"Compare engagement rates between Brand A, B, C over the last month" | Same problem, 3× — one paginated fetch per brand, then comparison math. Works for small windows; slow for "last month" on high-volume pages. |
Historical archive older than what Facebook itself serves | We surface what Facebook makes publicly visible. Posts that scrolled off Facebook's visible feed aren't retrievable. |
Server-side time-series (daily engagement, weekly growth) | Not yet — on the roadmap as a future |
If your use case maps to one of these patterns and you want the aggregation pre-computed instead of LLM-orchestrated, contact support with the specific query — we're prioritizing the aggregation endpoint based on customer demand.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | No | ISO country code or "ALL" | |
| page_id | No | Facebook Page ID | |

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It mentions return fields but does not cover potential errors, authentication requirements, rate limits, or side effects. As a read operation, it lacks detail on failure modes.
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?
Single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose. No unnecessary words, though could be slightly more structured with bullet points. Front-loaded with key information.
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?
No output schema, so description should fully describe return values. Only mentions 'creative, spend, and impressions' but likely returns more fields. Lacks explanation of error handling, response format, or edge cases. Incomplete for a tool with 5 parameters.
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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are already documented. The description adds no additional meaning to the parameters; it only mentions return fields, which is not parameter semantics. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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?
Clearly states the action ('Get detailed info'), the resource ('specific archived ad'), and the content ('creative, spend, and impressions'). Distinguishes from sibling tools like facebook_ads_search which likely lists ads.
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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not specify prerequisites or exclusions for using this tool over others like facebook_ads_search or facebook_ads_page_details.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_ads_countriesA
Get list of supported country codes for Meta Ads Library filtering
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, but description accurately states it returns a list of country codes (read-only). With no parameters, there is little else to disclose. The description is straightforward and not misleading.
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?
Single, well-formed sentence with no filler. Every word adds value.
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?
For a zero-parameter tool without output schema, the description fully explains what it returns and its purpose. No missing information for an agent to invoke it correctly.
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?
Tool has zero parameters, so baseline score is 4. Description adds no parameter details, but none are needed as schema covers 100% (empty object).
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?
Description uses specific verb 'Get' and resource 'list of supported country codes', clearly distinguishing from sibling tools that search or retrieve other data. The context 'for Meta Ads Library filtering' adds specificity.
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?
While no explicit when-not or alternatives mentioned, the description implies usage before filtering ads by country. Given the tool's simplicity and zero parameters, the context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_ads_keywordsC
Search for ads by keyword with optional country filter
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | Search keyword | |
| country | No | ISO country code or "ALL" |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the basic action and optional filter, omitting details like return format, pagination, rate limits, or authentication needs. This is insufficient for an agent to understand side effects or restrictions.
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 extremely concise at one sentence, which is efficient but lacks essential behavioral context. It is front-loaded but overly brief for a tool with no annotations, missing important details.
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?
Without an output schema or annotations, the description should explain what the search returns. It does not describe the response structure, any limits, or how the data is presented. This leaves the agent without a complete understanding of the tool's behavior.
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?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the parameters are documented. The description adds minimal value by summarizing the tool's purpose but does not enhance understanding of parameter constraints or formats beyond the schema.
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 'Search' and the resource 'ads by keyword' with an optional 'country filter'. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'facebook_ads_search', which may have similar functionality, leading to potential confusion.
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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or context for when this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_ads_page_detailsB
Get detailed info about a specific Facebook page from the Ads Library
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| page_id | Yes | Facebook Page ID |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication requirements, data freshness, or what constitutes 'detailed info'. For a read tool, this is minimal.
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 sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose. It is front-loaded and contains no redundant information, though it could include more context without becoming verbose.
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 the tool's low complexity (1 param, no output schema) and the presence of many sibling tools, the description is adequate but leaves gaps. It does not clarify the expected output or how it differs from similar tools like 'facebook_get_page_details'.
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 schema already describes page_id as 'Facebook Page ID' (100% coverage). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline.
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 action ('Get'), the resource ('detailed info about a specific Facebook page'), and the context ('from the Ads Library'). This distinguishes it from the sibling tool 'facebook_get_page_details', which likely provides general page info.
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?
The description implies the tool is for ad-related page details, but it does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives like 'facebook_get_page_details' or when not to use it. No exclusion criteria or usage context is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_ads_searchB
Search ads in the Meta Ad Library by keyword or page ID with country, status, and date filters
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | No | Search keyword for ads | |
| country | No | ISO country code or "ALL" | |
| sort_data | No | Sort by "impressions" or "recent" | |
| ad_page_id | No | Facebook AD Page ID (alternative to query) | |
| after_time | No | Filter ads after this date (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| end_cursor | No | Pagination cursor | |
| before_time | No | Filter ads before this date (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| activeStatus | No | Filter: ALL, Active, or Inactive |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, and the description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as pagination, authentication requirements, rate limits, or the effect of providing no parameters.
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?
A single, efficient sentence that conveys the core purpose without superfluous words.
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?
With 8 optional parameters and no output schema, the description lacks guidance on parameter interdependencies (e.g., query vs. ad_page_id), pagination, and expected return structure, leaving the agent underinformed.
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?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description summarizes the filterable fields but adds little meaning beyond the schema's own parameter descriptions.
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 searches ads by keyword or page ID with filters, and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like facebook_ads_archive_details and facebook_ads_keywords.
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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like facebook_ads_archive_details for specific ad details, nor on prerequisites or typical use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_download_mediaC
Download images, videos, and audio from Facebook URLs
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | Facebook media URL to download |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must cover behavioral traits, but it only says 'Download.' It does not disclose whether authentication is needed, what happens on success (returns data or saves file), rate limits, or supported media formats. This lack of transparency could lead to incorrect invocation.
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, short sentence with no filler words. It is front-loaded with the action. However, it could be slightly more structured by including output hints or parameter format, but overall it is concise.
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 the absence of an output schema, the description should at least indicate the return type (e.g., binary file, URL to download). It fails to explain what the agent receives after downloading, making it incomplete for safe usage.
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 schema provides 100% description coverage for the single parameter 'url' with a clear description. The tool description adds no extra semantics beyond what the schema already states, so baseline score of 3 applies.
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?
Description clearly states the tool downloads images, videos, and audio from Facebook URLs. It specifies the resource (Facebook media) and the verb (download), distinguishing it from sibling tools that retrieve metadata or perform other actions.
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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives like facebook_get_post_attachments or facebook_get_video_details. Missing information about prerequisites (e.g., direct media URL vs post URL) or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_get_comment_repliesB
Fetch replies to a specific comment on a Facebook post
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| expansion_token | Yes | Expansion token from the comments endpoint with include_reply_info=true | |
| comment_feedback_id | Yes | Feedback ID from the comments endpoint with include_reply_info=true |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as rate limits, required permissions, or error handling. Minimal context for a fetch operation.
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?
A single, clear sentence. Concise and front-loaded with the main action. Could be slightly more structured but no wasted words.
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?
With 2 required parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally complete. It does not explain return values or behavior, but the tool is simple enough to understand.
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 description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, which already describes both parameters (feedback ID and expansion token). Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 uses a specific verb 'Fetch' and clearly identifies the resource: 'replies to a specific comment on a Facebook post'. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'facebook_get_post_comments' which fetches comments.
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 vs alternatives. The context implies it's for replies, but lacks instructions about prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_get_group_detailsB
Get detailed metadata about a Facebook group including member count, description, rules, and activity stats
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| link | Yes | Facebook group URL |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, data freshness, or potential errors. With no annotations provided, the description fails to inform the agent about important behavioral aspects beyond the basic return content.
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 sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and output, with no unnecessary words or repetition.
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 the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description adequately outlines the return content. However, some context on possible restrictions or data freshness would improve completeness.
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 already describes the sole parameter 'link' as a Facebook group URL with 100% coverage. The description adds no additional meaning or context beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline but provides no extra value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

| video_id | Yes | Facebook video ID |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the action. It does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, requires authentication, or has rate limits. The implied read-only behavior is insufficiently explicit.
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?
Single sentence, front-loaded with verb and object. No wasted words; every term contributes to meaning.
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?
Adequate for a simple read tool with a single parameter. However, the lack of output schema means the description should clarify what 'metadata, stats, and context' includes, which it does not. Could be more complete given sibling complexity.
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?
Schema has 100% coverage with a single parameter described as 'Facebook video ID'. The tool description adds context that the ID refers to a 'video post', but no additional format or source hints beyond the schema.
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?
Description clearly states the action (Get) and the resource (video metadata, stats, context for a Facebook video post). It is distinct from sibling tools like facebook_get_group_videos (lists videos) and facebook_get_post_details (general post details).
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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not specify when to prefer this over facebook_search_videos or facebook_get_page_videos, nor does it mention prerequisites like video accessibility.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_marketplace_categoriesA
Get all Marketplace categories with SEO URLs and category IDs
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It indicates a read-only operation ('Get'), but lacks details on rate limits, pagination, or potential side effects. Given the simplicity (zero parameters), a score of 3 is minimally acceptable.
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, front-loaded sentence with no extraneous words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and key output fields.
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?
No output schema exists, so the description should explain return values. It mentions 'SEO URLs and category IDs' but lacks completeness—e.g., format, hierarchy, or count. For a simple list tool, this is adequate but not fully comprehensive.
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 zero parameters, so baseline is 4. The description does not need to add parameter meaning. It correctly implies no inputs are required.
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 'Get' and resource 'all Marketplace categories', and specifies the output includes 'SEO URLs and category IDs'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like facebook_marketplace_search or facebook_marketplace_vehicles.
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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the purpose is clear, there is no mention of prerequisites, context for usage, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_marketplace_city_coordinatesB
Get GPS coordinates for a city to use as Marketplace location filters
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | Yes | City name | |
| country | No | Country name or code | |
| exactly_one | No | When "true", return exactly one result |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It fails to mention crucial traits such as read-only nature, rate limits, response format (e.g., lat/lng array), behavior when city is not found, or how multiple results are returned. The 'exactly_one' parameter hints at multiplicity but the description does not explain the default behavior.
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 sentence of 10 words that conveys the core purpose without any fluff. It is front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word earns its place, achieving maximum conciseness.
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?
For a simple geocoding tool, the description covers the basic intent but lacks details about output format, error handling, or typical result count. Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide more context. However, the tool is low complexity, so it meets a minimal standard but is not fully complete.
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?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all three parameters. However, the description adds no extra meaning beyond the minimal schema text. For example, 'Country name or code' could be clarified as ISO code or full name, and 'exactly_one' does not specify what happens when false or missing. Since schema already defines basics, a baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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 'Get' and the resource 'GPS coordinates for a city', and specifies the purpose 'to use as Marketplace location filters'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like facebook_marketplace_search or facebook_marketplace_categories, which have different functions.
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?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks context about prerequisites, limitations, or comparisons to other location-related tools like facebook_search_locations. The agent receives no direction on typical usage scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
facebook_marketplace_listingA

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| listing_id | Yes | Marketplace Listing ID |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description is sole source for behavioral traits. Description only states what it does, but does not disclose any side effects, authentication requirements, error conditions, or response characteristics. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotations.
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?
Single concise sentence with no wasted words. Information is front-loaded appropriately.
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?
For a simple single-resource retrieval with one parameter, the description is adequate but lacks details on return format or typical usage context. Given no output schema, some additional context would be helpful.
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?
Schema has 100% description coverage for the single parameter, so baseline is 3. Description does not add any additional meaning beyond 'Marketplace Listing ID'.
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?
Description uses specific verb 'get' and clearly identifies the resource as 'detailed info about a single Marketplace listing'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like facebook_marketplace_search which lists multiple listings.
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?
Implied usage for retrieving a single listing, but no explicit guidance on when to use this vs alternatives like facebook_marketplace_search or facebook_marketplace_seller. No when-not or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| filter_price_upper_bound | No | Maximum price | |
| filter_location_longitude | No | GPS longitude |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'search' but omits pagination, default sorting, result structure, or API limits. Parameter 'end_cursor' hints at pagination but is unmentioned in description.
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?
Single sentence, no waste. However, could benefit from brevity with additional structuring details (e.g., list of filter types). Currently concise but borderline under-specified.
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?
11 parameters, no output schema, and many sibling tools require rich context. Description fails to explain pagination, required vs optional filters, or result format. Lacks enough detail for effective use.
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?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. Description adds phrase 'with filters for bedrooms, bathrooms, location, price', which groups parameters but does not add meaningful semantics beyond schema.
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?
Description explicitly states 'Search Marketplace rental property listings with filters', clearly indicating the tool's purpose for rental-specific search, distinguishing it from sibling tools like facebook_marketplace_vehicles and facebook_marketplace_search.
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 on when to use this tool vs. alternatives. With many sibling marketplace tools, the description should clarify why to choose rentals over general search or vehicles, but provides no such context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

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 12 parameters and no output schema, the description should explain the return format, pagination, and parameter interactions. It does not. The tool feels underspecified for a complex search operation.
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 covers all 12 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). The description lists filter types but adds no new semantic meaning beyond what the schema already provides, such as how to form a category URL or use pagination. Baseline score of 3 applies.
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 identifies the tool as searching Facebook Marketplace items and lists filter categories. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like facebook_marketplace_categories or facebook_marketplace_rentals, relying on tool naming for distinction.
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 other marketplace tools or under what conditions. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or alternatives.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite low complexity and full schema coverage, the description lacks completeness. It doesn't explain the return structure, how to interpret results, or common use cases. For a search tool with mixed result types, this leaves the agent guessing about output format.
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?
Schema covers both parameters with clear descriptions (keyword and pagination cursor), so baseline is 3. The description adds context about result composition but doesn't enhance understanding of parameter usage beyond what the schema already 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 action 'Search', the resource 'Instagram', and specifies the result types 'users, hashtags, and places'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like profile detail fetchers. However, it could be more explicit about what 'popular' means.
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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While siblings include many read tools, no direct comparison or when-not-to-use advice is provided. The agent must infer its usage from the name and description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Tools are clearly separated by platform (facebook_ vs instagram_), but within each platform, there are many similar tools (e.g., multiple search tools for Facebook: ads, marketplace, groups, pages). Overlaps exist that could confuse an agent, though descriptions help distinguish them.
All tools follow a consistent snake_case pattern with platform prefix and verb_noun structure (e.g., facebook_get_page_details). No mixing of conventions, making it highly predictable.
With 47 tools covering two major platforms, the count is high but not extreme. It feels slightly over-scoped for a single server, as many tools could be consolidated without losing functionality.
The tool surface is comprehensive for read/search operations across Facebook and Instagram, covering ads, marketplace, groups, pages, posts, reels, and profiles. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no Instagram stories tool, no write/update operations), but for a data-retrieval server, it is largely complete.
