ReachSocial - One API for social media data.

TikTok Video

tiktok_video
Idempotent

Retrieve normalized public TikTok video metadata and source URLs. Use for one public post/video URL. For an account's list, use tiktok_feed. Returns source video and preview URLs without downloading the asset. An entitled B2B API key executes immediately under the client's billing and spending limits. OAuth requires an approved owner wallet connection and creates a $0.05 USDC payment request on Base; execution waits for browser approval/payment. Then use get_reachsocial_request with the returned request_id. Preserve the idempotency_key for retries; changed input needs a new key. Invalid/private/unavailable targets and access, rate, or spend limits return errors.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesCanonical TikTok video URL. Supply a full https:// URL, not a handle or search query.
idempotency_keyYesThe calling agent/client generates this key automatically; do not ask the user to invent it. OAuth requires a random 32–255 character key (for example a UUID); B2B accepts 1–255 characters. Save it with the exact inputs before calling and reuse it with identical input to recover without duplicate billing. Use a new key for a different target, item limit, or page.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dataNoDirect B2B normalized profile, item, or items; feeds may include next_cursor and has_more.
metaNoDirect B2B schema/normalization versions, response shape, and latency.
cachedNoWhether a direct B2B response reused cached normalized data.
resultNoStored execution response after OAuth payment; contains normalized data or a terminal failure.
statusYesB2B success or the current OAuth payment/execution state.
messageNoAction or recovery guidance for the current request state.
serviceYesCatalog service ID, such as instagram.profile.
request_idYesStored request identifier; preserve it for recovery.
payment_urlNoOwner browser link for USDC payment approval; present when payment is required.
price_centsNoOAuth request price in USD cents.
transactionNoSettled payment transaction identifier, when available.
payment_statusNoStored settlement state; uncertainty requires retrieval, never a new payment.
payment_endpointNoOwner-only acceptance endpoint, present only during an explicitly enabled validation run.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, it discloses billing behavior, OAuth wallet approval requirements, the $0.05 USDC payment request on Base, error conditions, and that assets are not downloaded. It also clarifies idempotency_key retry behavior, which is important for avoiding duplicate billing.

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 front-loaded with purpose and immediately follows with the sibling-tool distinction. Every sentence contributes operational detail about return behavior, auth/billing, retries, or errors, with no filler.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be fully explained. Given the auth, billing, idempotency, and error-handling details included, the description is complete enough for an agent to select and invoke the tool 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 both parameters are already well documented in the input schema. The description reinforces the URL scope and idempotency-key retry semantics, but largely duplicates what the schema already states, so the baseline of 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?

The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'Retrieve normalized public TikTok video metadata and source URLs.' It also scopes usage to 'one public post/video URL' and explicitly distinguishes the sibling tool by saying 'For an account's list, use tiktok_feed.'

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?

It gives clear when-to-use guidance for a single public video URL and names the alternative tool for account lists. It also explains the B2B immediate-execution path versus the OAuth approval/payment path, and directs follow-up with get_reachsocial_request when a request_id is returned.

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