List a creator's videos

list_creator_videos
Read-only

List a public/competitor creator's videos by platform + handle. Sort by 'recent' or 'top' (best-performing); optionally with analysis inline. Only returns creators already in the analysis library — for one you haven't ingested yet this returns reason="creator_not_in_library" with a next_step of analyze_creator(platform, username), not an error. When more videos exist beyond this page the response includes next_cursor — pass it back as cursor (same sort/filters) to fetch the next page; when next_cursor is absent you have everything.

TDQS

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds specific behavioral details: no error but a next_step response, pagination with next_cursor, and that it only works for ingested creators, all without contradiction.

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 appropriately sized (two paragraphs), front-loaded with core purpose, and every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Given the complexity (6 params, pagination, error handling) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers all necessary aspects: purpose, error message, pagination, and sorting, making it fully complete for effective tool use.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, but the description adds significant meaning: explains 'sort' enum semantics, cursor usage, and the effect of include_analysis, improving the agent's understanding beyond the schema alone.

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 clearly states 'List a public/competitor creator's videos by platform + handle' using a specific verb and resource, and implicitly distinguishes from siblings like list_videos and analyze_creator.

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 explicitly says when to use (for creators already in the analysis library) and what to do if not (use analyze_creator). It also explains pagination and sorting alternatives.

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