Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlNoTweet permalink or numeric id.
linkNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
pathNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
trimNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.

cursorNoOpaque pagination cursor returned by a previous response.
offsetNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
contextYesDescribe the user's underlying goal in one sentence — not the tool you are calling.
tweetIdNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
pageSizeNoIgnored if this tool does not support it.
tweetUrlNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
tweet_idNoAlias for `url`. Prefer `url`.
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.

  2. Added

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 input flexibility (permalink or id), which are useful behavioral details beyond the schema. It does not disclose rate limits or response shape, but for a read-only list tool with annotations, this is adequate.

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 sentences with zero waste. The core action and resource are front-loaded, and the pagination note is placed at the end where it is relevant. Every word earns its place.

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?

For a read-only list tool with 100% schema coverage and annotations covering safety, the description is nearly complete. It tells the agent what to pass (permalink or id), what to expect (a list), and how to paginate (cursor). It does not describe the shape of the returned list items, but no output schema exists and the tool name itself ('retweets_list') makes the return type reasonably clear.

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 18 parameters. The description adds the key semantic that `url` accepts either a permalink or numeric id, which is helpful. However, it does not clarify the many alias parameters beyond what the schema already says ('Alias for url. Prefer url.'), so the description adds only marginal value over the schema.

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 ('List'), a specific resource ('accounts that retweeted a tweet'), and the two accepted input forms ('by permalink or id'). It clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like twitter_tweet_get, twitter_tweet_quotes_list, and twitter_tweet_replies_list by naming the exact relationship being queried.

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 implies the tool is for retrieving retweeter accounts and mentions pagination ('use cursor when paginated'), which gives the agent a clear context for when to use it. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the resource-specific phrasing ('accounts that retweeted') is sufficient to route an agent away from quote/reply tools.

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