Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qNoAlias for `query`. Prefer `query`.
trimNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.

regionNoOptional two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code for localized suggestions.

pageSizeNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
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

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, covering the safety profile. The description adds that the tool returns a list and mentions pagination via cursor, which is useful context. However, the cursor guidance is vague since no cursor parameter appears in the schema, and no other behavioral traits (auth, rate limits) are disclosed. With annotations present, this is adequate but not rich.

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?

Two short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the return-type and pagination hint are the only extras. Every word earns its place.

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?

With 13 parameters, 2 required, and no output schema, the description is quite thin but not inadequate. The schema carries the parameter burden, and annotations cover safety. The main gap is the 'use cursor when paginated' instruction: no cursor parameter exists in the schema, so an agent may not know how to paginate. It does not explain the shape of the returned list beyond 'a list,' but for a suggestions tool this is minimally acceptable.

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%, with every parameter carrying a description, so the baseline is 3. The description itself adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the schema. It could have clarified which of the many alias/ignored parameters are actually supported, but the schema already documents the canonical query and region parameters.

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 TikTok search suggestions by query.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like tiktok_search_videos_list or tiktok_search_hashtag_list by focusing on suggestions, though it does not name alternatives explicitly. Clear and unambiguous, but not quite a 5 because no sibling is called out.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many related TikTok search tools (top, videos, hashtags, users). There are no alternatives named, no exclusions, and no contextual cues beyond 'by query.' The only extra hint is pagination-related, which is behavioral rather than usage guidance.

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