Name	Required	Description
`trim`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`urls`	No	Alias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
`user`	No	Alias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
`limit`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`handle`	No	Threads handle to look up, with or without a leading @.
`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.
`pageSize`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`userName`	No	Alias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
`username`	No	Alias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
`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.

`max_results`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`screen_name`	No	Alias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
`conversation_id`	No	Echo the conversation_id from the server's previous response. The server provides it on the first call — never invent one, and do not issue parallel tool calls until you have 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 minimal behavioral context beyond that—it doesn't mention what data is returned, whether the handle needs normalization, or any rate limits. With annotations covering the safety profile, a 3 is appropriate; the description adds some value but not rich behavioral context.

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?

The description is a single concise sentence with no waste. It front-loads the action and resource, then states the key input. It could arguably add a bit more context about what a profile includes, but for its length it's efficient and well-structured.

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 profile fetch with 100% schema coverage and readOnlyHint=true, the description is mostly adequate. However, it doesn't clarify what fields the profile contains, whether the handle should include the @ symbol (though the schema says 'with or without a leading @'), or how this differs from threads_users_search. The output schema is absent, so a bit more return-value context would help, but the tool is simple enough that this is a minor gap.

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 detail that 'handle' is the primary parameter and that aliases exist, but the schema already says 'Prefer handle' for aliases. The description's mention of 'Accepts a handle' reinforces the main parameter but doesn't add meaning beyond the schema. 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 and resource: 'Get a Threads profile for a creator or account. Accepts a handle.' This clearly identifies the tool's function and distinguishes it from sibling tools like threads_post_get and threads_profile_posts_list. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from the similar threads_users_search, which could also retrieve profile information, so it's clear but not fully differentiated.

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 by stating it accepts a handle, which tells the agent the key input. However, it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like threads_users_search or threads_profile_posts_list, and no exclusions or prerequisites. The context is implied rather than stated.

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