AIsa X / Twitter

List User Followers

get_twitter_user_followers
Read-onlyIdempotent

List the accounts that follow a given X user, identified by @handle, newest follower first. Returns up to 200 per page by default with has_next_page and next_cursor; each entry is a full user object (handle, name, bio, follower count, verification). Use this for audience analysis, mapping a competitor's follower base, or finding influential followers. For the reverse direction (who this user follows) use get_twitter_user_followings. For only the verified subset use get_twitter_user_verified_followers — note that one takes a numeric user_id, not a handle.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive), yet the description adds real behavioral context: 200 results per page by default, has_next_page/next_cursor pagination, and the shape of each entry. It stops short of stating rate limits or cursor lifetime, but the added pagination and page-payload detail is well beyond what the annotations provide.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the core action, then pagination, then use cases, then sibling routing — a logical order with no redundant sentences. The injected aisa-pricing boilerplate adds length that does not serve tool selection, which keeps it out of the top band.

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?

Despite an output schema existing, the description goes further by summarizing the per-entry fields, and it covers pagination, the identifier format, use cases, and both alternatives. Given a three-parameter read-only tool with full annotation coverage, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly on the first try.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, and the description earns a step up by clarifying that the user is addressed by @handle rather than the schema's vaguer "screen name," and by restating the 200-per-page default in prose. It does not add cursor format or sizing rules beyond 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?

States a specific verb (list), resource (accounts that follow a given X user), the identity key (@handle), and the ordering (newest follower first). It also names the two closest siblings and how they differ, so an agent can pick it apart from get_twitter_user_followings and get_twitter_user_verified_followers without opening a 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 gives when-to-use scenarios (audience analysis, mapping a competitor's follower base, finding influential followers) and names both alternatives with their selecting conditions — reverse direction for followings, verified subset for verified followers. It even flags that the verified sibling takes a numeric user_id rather than a handle, which is exactly the kind of routing detail that prevents a wrong call.

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