twitch_schedule

Read-only

Fetch a Twitch channel's planned broadcast segments starting today; an unset schedule returns an empty list. Use twitch_streams for a current live broadcast or twitch_channel for channel profile and live status.

Tool call template

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
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 genuine behavioral context not in the annotations: an unset schedule returns an empty list rather than erroring. It stops short of describing pagination or result ordering, keeping it just below the top mark.

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 tightly written sentences with the core action front-loaded and the routing guidance second. Every clause earns its place: action, edge-case behavior, and sibling disambiguation, with no filler.

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

Completeness5/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be explained. The description covers scope, the empty-result edge case, and sibling routing, which is everything an agent needs to select and invoke this tool correctly.

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 both parameters (channel, weeks) are already fully documented in the schema. The phrase 'starting today' reinforces the weeks semantics but adds no format, bounds, or lookup detail beyond the structured field descriptions, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Fetch a Twitch channel's planned broadcast segments') with clear temporal scope ('starting today'). It explicitly names the two sibling tools it is not (twitch_streams, twitch_channel), so an agent can route without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit when-to-use guidance by naming alternatives and the condition that selects each: twitch_streams for a current live broadcast, twitch_channel for profile and live status. This is a textbook routing instruction with no inference required.

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