Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`url`	No	Link to the Facebook post or reel whose transcript should be returned.
`link`	No	Alias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
`path`	No	Alias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
`trim`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`limit`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`offset`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`context`	Yes	Describe the user's underlying goal in one sentence — not the tool you are calling.
`tweetId`	No	Alias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
`pageSize`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`tweetUrl`	No	Alias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
`tweet_id`	No	Alias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
`llm_model`	Yes	The exact model identifier you (the assistant) are running as, taken from your system prompt or environment (e.g. "claude-opus-4-8", "gpt-5.2"). Used for analytics only. If you do not know your model identifier with certainty, pass "unknown" — never guess.
`permalink`	No	Alias for `url`. Prefer `url`.

`max_results`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.

B3.4/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows this is a safe read operation. The description adds the scope (post or Reel by URL) but doesn't disclose behavior like whether transcripts are auto-generated, whether they include timestamps, or what happens when no transcript exists. With annotations covering the safety profile, a 3 is appropriate – the description adds some context but not rich behavioral detail.

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?

One sentence, zero waste, and the core resource (transcript) and input (URL) are front-loaded. It's appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool. Could arguably add a note about supported content types, but the sentence is efficient and clear.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple read-only retrieval tool with 100% schema coverage and readOnlyHint=true, the description is mostly adequate. However, it doesn't mention what the transcript output looks like (plain text? with timestamps?), whether it works for all Reels or only public ones, or edge cases like unavailable transcripts. The openWorldHint suggests the tool may return unexpected data, but the description doesn't prepare the agent for that.

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 all parameters. The description adds the key semantic that `url` is the primary input and that aliases exist (link, path, tweetId, etc.) but the schema already says 'Alias for url. Prefer url.' The description doesn't add meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions, so baseline 3 is correct.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('transcript for a Facebook post or Reel by URL'). It clearly distinguishes from siblings like facebook_post_get (which retrieves the post itself) and facebook_post_comments_list. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from the analogous transcript tools on other platforms (e.g., instagram_post_transcript_get), though the Facebook prefix in the name handles that.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage: when a user wants a transcript of a Facebook post or Reel, provide the URL. It doesn't explicitly state when NOT to use it (e.g., for comments, use facebook_post_comments_list) or mention alternatives. The context is clear enough for a straightforward retrieval tool, but no exclusions or alternative routing are given.

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