Find similar videos

list_similar_videos
Read-only

Find public/competitor videos similar to a reference video, by content embedding.

Identify the reference video by platform + post_id (its native id from list_videos / get_video). Returns {"videos": [...]}; if the reference post can't be used yet (no embedding) or isn't found, it returns an empty list with a reason rather than erroring.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds valuable behavior beyond the readOnlyHint/openWorldHint annotations: it describes the return shape and the key edge case where an unusable or missing reference post returns an empty list with a `reason` instead of erroring. This helps the agent anticipate failure semantics without contradicting the annotations.

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 compact and front-loaded: the first sentence gives the core purpose and method, and the second covers identification, return shape, and edge behavior. Every clause earns its place with no wasted words.

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 rich input schema, output schema, and annotations, the description covers everything an agent needs to invoke the tool correctly: what it finds, how the reference is identified, where IDs come from, and what happens when the reference is unavailable. No critical behavioral or input context is missing.

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%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds meaning by explaining that post_id must be the reference post's native id from list_videos / get_video and that similarity depends on its content embedding. This prevents misuse beyond what the individual property descriptions already say.

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 and resource: 'Find public/competitor videos similar to a reference video, by content embedding.' It clearly distinguishes itself from siblings like search_videos and list_videos by focusing on embedding-based similarity and by naming the identifying inputs (platform + post_id).

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?

Provides clear context: use it to find similar videos from a reference identified by platform + post_id, with the source of those IDs explicitly given as list_videos / get_video. It stops short of explicitly naming alternatives or when-not-to-use conditions, so it is clear but not fully exclusionary.

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