Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
byNoTreat the path value as a handle or a numeric user id. Defaults to id when the value is all digits.
trimNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
urlsNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
userNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
limitNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
cursorNoOpaque pagination cursor returned by a previous response.
handleNoX (Twitter) profile handle without the leading @, or a numeric user id.
offsetNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
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.
profileUrlNoAlias for `handle`. Prefer `handle`.
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.

  3. Added

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, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds some behavioral context: the result is a list and pagination uses a cursor. It does not disclose ordering, rate limits, or what exactly each list item contains, so it adds only modest value beyond annotations.

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 the core operation and pagination note front-loaded. No filler words or redundant restatement of the title.

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 tool with 19 parameters and no output schema, the description is thin: it tells the agent the core input method and pagination but not when to prefer it over the verified/ids siblings or what the returned follower objects look like. The schema compensates for parameter documentation, so it is minimally viable but not complete.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema documents every parameter and the baseline is 3. The description adds only marginal meaning by explaining that the profile can be identified by handle or numeric user id, which the schema already states for `handle`. It does not clarify the many alias/ignored params beyond what schema descriptions already provide.

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 precise action ('List accounts following an X profile') and the two accepted identifiers (handle or numeric user id). It clearly identifies the resource, but it does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like twitter_profile_followers_ids_list or twitter_profile_followers_verified_list, so it misses the differentiation criterion.

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?

No guidance on when to choose this tool over its sibling followers tools (ids, verified, following, list followers). The only usage note is 'use cursor when paginated', which is an operational detail rather than a selection rule.

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