Get Short Videos Search Results

Scrapes the Google Short Videos carousel (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, etc.) for a query with location/uule, country (gl/cr), language (hl/lr), device type, and page-based pagination. Supports Google's advanced filters (tbs). Returns video title, thumbnail, duration, source platform, channel/creator, direct video URL, the platform's video ID and profile handle, and ready-to-call HasData API links (hasdataLinks) for the video's comments, transcript, profile, posts or channel. Use for short-form content discovery, viral-trend monitoring, influencer research, cross-platform video aggregation, and sourcing short clips to summarize or embed in LLM responses.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, non-destructive, open-world behavior, so the bar is lower. The description goes on to disclose the return surface (title, thumbnail, duration, source platform, channel, direct URL, platform video ID, profile handle) and the hasdataLinks follow-up capability, which is genuinely useful behavioral context. It omits rate limits and response envelope details, keeping it below a 5.

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 definition is front-loaded with the core action, then output, then use cases — a logical progression with no filler sentences. Length is proportionate to a 10-parameter tool with no output schema.

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?

With no output schema, the description takes on the burden of describing return fields, which it does thoroughly, and it covers the parameter envelope and intended use cases. An agent has everything needed to invoke it correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all 10 parameters in detail and the baseline is 3. The description groups them (location/uule, country gl/cr, language hl/lr, device type, page pagination, tbs filters), which adds light interpretive structure but does not clarify the gl-vs-cr or hl-vs-lr distinction beyond what the schema already says.

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 states a specific verb and resource — scraping the Google Short Videos carousel (explicitly TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels) — which is concrete and distinguishable from the generic google_serp_serp_getSearchResults and platform-specific tiktok/youtube siblings. An agent can tell what this returns without opening the schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives clear context for use (short-form content discovery, viral-trend monitoring, influencer research, cross-platform aggregation, sourcing clips for LLM summarization/embedding). It does not, however, state when NOT to use it or explicitly name alternatives such as the general SERP or TikTok search tools, so routing between overlapping siblings is left to inference.

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