Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
trimNoOptional flag for a smaller response with fewer fields.
urlsNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
userNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
limitNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
cursorNoPagination cursor returned by a previous response.
handleNoTikTok handle whose followers should be listed.
offsetNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
userIdNoOptional TikTok user id to speed up the request.
contextYesDescribe the user's underlying goal in one sentence — not the tool you are calling.
pageSizeNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
userNameNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
usernameNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
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.
maxResultsNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.

linkedinUrlNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
max_resultsNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
screen_nameNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
conversation_idNoEcho 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.

  8. First observed

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the pagination behavior ('use cursor when paginated') and the return type ('Returns a list'), which is useful. However, it doesn't disclose details like rate limits, whether the list is ordered, or what happens with private profiles. With annotations covering the read-only nature, a 3 is appropriate.

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 two sentences with no wasted words. The core action is front-loaded ('List followers of a TikTok profile by handle'), and the pagination note is placed second. It's appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity.

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 read-only list tool with 100% schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers the essential action and pagination. However, it doesn't mention the many alias parameters (urls, user, username, etc.) that could confuse an agent, nor does it clarify that limit/offset/pageSize/maxResults are ignored. The description is adequate but leaves some gaps.

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 19 parameters. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, only mentioning 'handle' and 'cursor' implicitly. The baseline of 3 applies because the schema does the heavy lifting and the description doesn't need to compensate.

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: 'List followers of a TikTok profile by handle.' This clearly identifies the tool's function and distinguishes it from siblings like tiktok_profile_following_list and tiktok_profile_get. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with those siblings, so it doesn't fully earn a 5.

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 handle and mentions pagination ('use cursor when paginated'), which gives some context. But it doesn't explicitly state when to prefer this over tiktok_profile_following_list or other profile tools, nor does it mention alternatives. The guidance is implied rather than explicit.

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