Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`url`	No	Link to the TikTok video 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`.
`language`	No	Optional two-letter language code to request a transcript in a specific language when available.
`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`.
`tweet_url`	No	Alias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
`maxResults`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`max_results`	No	Ignored if this tool does not support it.
`useAiFallback`	No	When true, uses Social Fetch's AI fallback when a transcript is not otherwise available. Adds 10 credits on completed lookups (11 total with the base lookup).
`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.

A3.7/5.0

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, covering safety and external dependency. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the bare action—no mention of what happens if no transcript is available, any credit implications, or format of the output. Since annotations carry the safety profile, the description contributes minimal behavioral transparency.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that states the action, resource, and input method without any extraneous words. It earns its place and is highly efficient.

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?

The description is adequate for a simple read-only transcript tool, but given the 19-parameter schema with many aliases and 'ignored' fields, it could have clarified that the primary input is the URL and that other parameters are secondary. However, the schema itself documents these details, and the tool's purpose is straightforward. No output schema exists, so no return-value explanation is required. The description covers the core need but could be more helpful for an agent navigating the parameter clutter.

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 every parameter has its own description. The tool description adds no parameter-level information; it only restates the primary input concept (URL). According to the rubric, a high schema coverage sets a baseline of 3, and the description does not exceed that baseline.

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'), a clear resource ('spoken transcript for a TikTok video'), and the input method ('by URL'). It unambiguously distinguishes this tool from sibling transcript tools for other platforms (e.g., youtube_video_transcript_get) by naming the platform explicitly. The purpose is fully clear.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description clearly implies when to use it: when a TikTok video transcript is needed, given a URL. It does not explicitly exclude non-TikTok videos or name alternative tools, but the platform-specific naming and the context of sibling tools make the intended usage obvious. It lacks explicit 'when-not' guidance but is clear enough.

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