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

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint), the description adds that the result is a paginated list, instructing the agent to use the cursor when paginated. It does not disclose rate limits or auth requirements, but the read-only annotation already covers safety. The description adds useful pagination context.

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?

A single sentence with a parenthetical delivers the essential information without wasted words. The core action and input form are front-loaded, and the pagination hint efficiently wraps the secondary instruction.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having 19 parameters, the schema richly describes each one, and the description supplies the return type ('a list') and pagination mechanism. There is no output schema, but for a read-only list tool the information is sufficiently complete; minor gaps like exact output fields are acceptable given the annotations.

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% and already documents all parameters, including aliases and the `by` enum. The description only echoes the handle/id distinction already present in the schema, contributing no new parameter semantics beyond the 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 specifies a concrete verb ('List') and resource ('accounts an X profile follows'), clearly distinguishing this from sibling tools like twitter_profile_followers_list (followers) or twitter_profile_following_ids_list (IDs). It also identifies the input mechanism (handle or numeric user id).

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 provides no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives, nor does it mention exclusions or prerequisites. Although the resource is clear, the agent is given no explicit cues about when to prefer this tool over similar profile-list tools.

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