Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 198 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 198 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured

Capabilities

Tools 5

get_my_stats

Get this advertiser's own ad performance for the last 30 days: impressions and clicks split by day, by app in the Spark network, and by traffic source, plus every creative they own with its review status. Read-only. Scoped to the API key holder; it cannot report on anyone else.

Discovered
get_network_pulse

Get the whole network's last 24 hours: total impressions, total clicks, how many apps showed the carousel, and how many of the 24 hourly slots are taken. This is the public inventory figure, the same one the SparkAds landing page prints, not this advertiser's own numbers. Read-only.

Discovered
get_slot

Get the hour this advertiser holds: the UTC hour, the same hour on their target country's clock, the country itself, and the card that runs in it with its review status. Also reports whether the ad is actually live right now, which needs all three of a held hour, an approved card and a paying subscription. Read-only.

Discovered
list_free_slots

List the UTC hours nobody has claimed yet, out of the 24 the network sells. Pass a country to also get each free hour on that country's clock and the best five ranked by local evening attention. Supported countries: GB, IE, PT, FR, DE, ES, IT, NL, BE, SE, NO, DK, PL, CH, AT, NG, FI, GR, RO, UA, EG, ZA, IL, SA, TR, RU, KE, AE, PK, IN, BD, TH, VN, ID, CN, SG, MY, PH, HK, TW, AU, JP, KR, NZ, BR, AR, US, CA, PE, CO, MX. Read-only; claiming an hour still happens on the website.

Discovered
update_creative

Edit this advertiser's ad card. Pass only the fields to change; anything omitted keeps its current value. WRITE TOOL, and it costs something: saving resets the card's status to 'pending', so the ad STOPS running until a person approves it again. Say that to the user and get their agreement before calling this. Caps: name 40 characters, tagline 60, one-sentence body 160, url must be https, domain must be a bare hostname like myapp.com. House style: plain words, no exclamation marks, and the sentence says what the product does rather than why it is good.
