Get post ideas

get_post_ideas

Generate N distinct post ideas on a topic. Use when the user asks for ideas, angles, or different takes on the same subject. Each idea is a short seed, not a full draft.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false). With no output schema, the description usefully discloses the shape of the result: 'Each idea is a short seed, not a full draft.' It still says nothing about latency, cost, or how ideas differ from one another.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with what it produces, followed by when to use it and what the output looks like. No filler or redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

All three parameters are documented and the non-draft nature of the result is explained, which is the main gap given no output schema. Slightly incomplete in that it doesn't hint at how many ideas the default yields or how platform affects output, but nothing essential is missing.

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 topic, count, and platform are each documented in the schema, including the count default of 5 and the platform omission rule. The description adds only 'N distinct', which is a restatement of count rather than new semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb ('Generate') and resource ('post ideas') with the key qualifier 'N distinct' and 'on a topic'. It also implicitly separates itself from siblings like suggest_hooks and improve_post by clarifying the output is a seed rather than a draft.

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?

'Use when the user asks for ideas, angles, or different takes on the same subject' gives a clear triggering context. It stops short of naming alternatives (e.g. suggest_hooks for openers, search_inspiration for existing content) or stating 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.
