Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesTikTok profile URL, @handle, or username, e.g. https://tiktok.com/@username. Not a YouTube channel URL. The URL platform must match this endpoint's platform. Do not pass cross-platform URLs, e.g. YouTube to TikTok, Instagram to Facebook, LinkedIn to X/Twitter, or Pinterest to Rumble.
cacheNoSet true to serve from the 24h response cache (0 credits on hit). Default false — always fetch fresh.
limitNoMax items to return (default 50, max 500). Flat 1 credit per call.
cursorNoPagination cursor (TikTok minCursor). Leave empty for the first page; then pass nextCursor from the previous response.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses credit cost, cache behavior, no-charge on empty/failed results, freshness policy, and pagination traits. This is strong for a list endpoint, though it doesn't mention authentication, rate limits, or handling of private accounts.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is compact and front-loaded with the core action and returned fields. The phrase 'Flat 1 credit. Costs 1 credit.' is redundant, but the rest is economical and easy to scan.

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?

Given four parameters, full schema coverage, and no output schema, the description covers the essential outcomes: returned fields, pagination, cost, failure behavior, and cache. It is slightly shy of a 5 because it doesn't mention edge cases like private accounts or rate limits, but nothing critical is missing for invoking 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 the schema already documents url, cache, limit, and cursor semantics. The description adds some context (e.g., cursor pagination, cache free hit) but mostly reinforces rather than extends the schema. 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?

The description starts with a specific verb and resource: 'List a TikTok user's followers', distinguishing it from the sibling tool tiktok_user_followings. It also names the key returned fields, making the tool's purpose immediately clear.

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?

The description provides clear operational context: pagination via cursor, use of cache for free 24h hits, and that empty/failed results are not charged. It doesn't explicitly say 'use this instead of tiktok_user_followings', but the name and field list make the primary use case obvious. The schema reinforces platform-matching restrictions.

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