Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlNoOptional Spotify album URL for the request.
linkNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
pathNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
trimNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
limitNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
offsetNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
albumIdNoOptional Spotify album id for the request.
contextYesDescribe the user's underlying goal in one sentence — not the tool you are calling.
tweetIdNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
pageSizeNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
tweetUrlNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
tweet_idNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
llm_modelYesThe 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.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description only says 'Get', which matches the readOnlyHint and openWorldHint annotations. It adds no additional behavioral context such as response format, pagination, error handling, or rate limits. With annotations already covering the safety profile, the bar is lower, but the description contributes little beyond a simple read operation.

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?

A single sentence that front-loads the action and resource, followed by the identification method. No wasted words, and the essential information is immediately available.

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?

For a simple get tool with a schema that fully describes all parameters, the description is mostly complete. It identifies the key inputs and the operation, and the annotations cover the read-only nature. Minor gaps like parameter precedence when both albumId and url are provided are not addressed, but the description gives sufficient guidance for correct invocation.

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?

The description clarifies that the album can be identified by either albumId or url, tying the two primary parameters together and implicitly prioritizing them over the many alias parameters. The schema has 100% description coverage, but the description adds the 'or' relationship and focuses the agent on the meaningful inputs.

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 states a specific verb ('Get'), resource ('Spotify album'), and identification method ('by id or album URL'). This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like spotify_track_get and spotify_artist_get, and also from appleMusic_album_get by specifying the platform.

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?

Usage is implied based on the resource name, but the description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., spotify_track_get) or how to choose between albumId and url. There are no exclusions or alternative tool references.

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