threads_profile_media

Read-only

Fetch the first public Media-tab posts for one Threads profile, including image and video URLs and carousel attachments when present. username accepts a profile handle; the logged-out tab has no media-type filter or cursor, so check pagination_limited. Use threads_profile_posts for the cursor-paginated feed, threads_profile_reposts for reposts, or threads_profile_topics for topic tags.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already supply readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, but the description adds genuinely new behavioral context: the logged-out Media tab has no media-type filter or cursor, so results are pagination_limited, and it discloses the attachment shapes returned. It stops short of auth or rate-limit details, so it is strong but not exhaustive.

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?

Front-loaded with the primary action and payload, then a tight clause on the parameter, then a single routing sentence. No redundant or filler content; every sentence carries distinct information.

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?

With an output schema present the description needn't enumerate return fields, yet it still flags the pagination_limited caveat and content shape. Combined with the routing guidance, an agent has everything needed to select and call the 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 description coverage is 100% and the single parameter is fully documented by the schema. The description only adds that username accepts a profile handle, which is marginal beyond what the schema already conveys, so the 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 (Fetch) and resource (first public Media-tab posts for one Threads profile), and enumerates what the payload contains (image/video URLs, carousel attachments). It also names the sibling tools it is not, so an agent can route without inspecting 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?

Explicitly names the alternatives (threads_profile_posts for the cursor-paginated feed, threads_profile_reposts for reposts, threads_profile_topics for topic tags) with the condition that selects each. Nothing about tool selection is left to inference.

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