getTiktokPostsBySound

Read-only

Get Tiktok posts that use a specific sound/music with three response modes. Required: soundId (numeric ID from searchTiktokSounds). FAST (default, omit responseType or responseType="fast"): Returns up to 300 results directly (use limit param to reduce, e.g. limit=5). PAGING (responseType="paging"): Async paginated results (100/page), returns operationId for polling via checkOperationStatus. Supports pageNumber/tableName for subsequent pages. CSV (responseType="csv"): Async single CSV download, returns operationId, poll for S3 link. Returns by default: id, description, username, createdAtDate. NOT for keyword/phrase search - use getTiktokPostsByKeywords. NOT for hashtags - use getTiktokPostsByHashtags. Date filters: OMIT startDate/endDate by default. ONLY pass if user explicitly requests a date range (YYYY-MM-DD). IMPORTANT!!!!!: THE CURRENT YEAR IS 2026. When user requests relative dates (last week, last month), verify the current date from your system context and double-check the calculated dates - models often get the year wrong, searching one year earlier than intended. FIELDS parameter (optional): Core (id, description, userId, username, nickname, createdAtDate), Engagement (likeCount, commentCount, playCount, forwardCount, collectCount, downloadCount), Media (videoThumbnail, videoUrl, duration, postType), Content (hashtags, transcriptsJson). This is a safe, read-only tool for analyzing searchable information.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMax results to return. Fast mode: capped at 300 (default: 300). Paging/CSV modes: caps total exported rows (default: all, max 500K).
fieldsNoPERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION: Specify fields you need. DEFAULT (if omitted): ["id", "description", "username", "createdAtDate"]. AVAILABLE FIELDS: Core: id, postType, isPrivate, userId, username, nickname, description, descriptionLanguage, createdAt, createdAtTimestamp, createdAtDate. Engagement: collectCount, commentCount, likeCount, downloadCount, forwardCount, playCount. Media: videoThumbnail, videoUrl (array of video URLs), duration (video length in seconds). Content: hashtags (array of hashtag strings). EXAMPLES: ["id", "description"] for minimal, ["id", "description", "username", "createdAtDate", "likeCount", "playCount"] for basic analysis, ["id", "description", "hashtags", "duration", "videoUrl"] for video content analysis.
endDateNo
soundIdYesTiktok sound/music ID (numeric string). Get IDs from searchTiktokSounds. Example: "7016547803243907841".
_isTrialNo
feedbackNoOptional. Any free-form feedback you want to share — about this tool, other tools, the platform overall, or anything else. Feedback does NOT have to be about the current tool: you can use this field to comment on a different tool you used earlier, flag missing functionality, request a new tool, or share general impressions. Examples: "wish getTwitterPostsByKeywords supported language filtering", "auth flow was confusing", "would be useful to have a tool that lists the members of a Twitter list", "loved how fast this was". Captured for product feedback; does not affect tool behavior.
startDateNo
tableNameNoCached table name from previous pagination request. Required when fetching pageNumber > 1. Returned in first page response.
_requestIdNo
pageNumberNoPage number to fetch (1-indexed). Must be provided with tableName to fetch subsequent pages. Omit for first page.
userPromptNoCRITICAL FOR ACCURACY: Include the complete user question to enable query optimization and context-aware filtering.
_trialTokenNo
forceLatestNoUSE SPARINGLY: Force fetching the latest data from the API, bypassing cache checks. Only use when explicitly required (e.g., "get the latest", "most recent", "real-time"). WARNING: Increases latency and API costs. Default: false (uses intelligent caching).
responseTypeNoResponse mode. "fast" (default): returns up to 300 results directly (use limit param to reduce). "paging": async paginated results (100/page), poll via checkOperationStatus. "csv": async single CSV download, poll for S3 link.
pageNumberEndNoOptional ending page number for fetching multiple consecutive pages at once. Must be >= pageNumber. Requires tableName.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description reinforces this with 'safe, read-only tool'. It adds behavioral context beyond annotations: async modes require polling via checkOperationStatus, caching behavior with forceLatest (in schema), and a critical warning about the current year 2026 to prevent date miscalculations. No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is long but every section earns its place: purpose is front-loaded, modes are clearly separated, warnings are highlighted, and field groups are organized. It is efficiently structured for a tool with 15 parameters and three response modes, avoiding redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (async modes, pagination, caching, multiple parameter groups), the description covers all necessary operational aspects: required input, mode selection, pagination mechanics, field selection, date handling, and explicit exclusions. It also provides the current-year context to prevent common errors. No output schema exists, but the description adequately conveys expected return data via field groups.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 67%, but the description significantly enriches parameter meaning: it explains responseType modes and defaults, limit capping per mode, the fields parameter with grouped options and examples, date filter usage, and the userPrompt field's role. It also clarifies soundId format and origin. This goes well beyond the schema's raw definitions.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description explicitly states the tool retrieves TikTok posts by a specific sound/music ID, and clearly distinguishes from siblings by naming getTiktokPostsByKeywords and getTiktokPostsByHashtags as alternatives for different query types. The required parameter soundId is defined with origin instructions.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance: requires soundId from searchTiktokSounds, details three response modes (fast, paging, csv) with defaults and polling instructions, and gives negative guidance (not for keywords/hashtags) pointing to specific siblings. Also instructs on date filters, saying to omit by default and only pass when explicitly requested.

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