Follower growth history

get_follower_history
Read-only

Get audience growth over time — follower / following / media counts as a true per-platform time series over the trailing window_days (default 90, up to 365). This is the trend get_account_metrics flattens to a latest-only value, so use it to answer "is my audience growing?". Omit account_id to aggregate across all connected accounts, or pass one from list_accounts; optionally filter to a single platform. granularity buckets server-side ('daily' default, 'weekly', or 'raw' for every scrape).

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. Description adds trailing window behavior, granularity options, and server-side bucketing. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences with no filler. Front-loaded with purpose and key constraints. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

For a tool with 4 optional params, output schema present, and good annotations, the description covers aggregation, filtering, bucketing, and window. Complete.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds meaning: default 90 days, up to 365, clamping, aggregation when omitted, 'raw' for every scrape. All parameters explained beyond schema.

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 'get audience growth over time' with specific metrics (follower/following/media counts) and differentiates from sibling get_account_metrics by noting that it provides a time series while the other flattens to latest-only.

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?

Explicitly says 'use it to answer 'is my audience growing?'' and explains when to omit account_id or platform. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools beyond the one mentioned.

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