AIsa X / Twitter

Get User Info

get_twitter_user_info
Read-onlyIdempotent

Look up one X (Twitter) user's public profile by @handle (screen name). Use this when you need to know who an account is — identity, reach, or credibility — before deciding whether to trust or analyze their content. Returns display name, bio, follower/following counts, verification status, account creation date, location, and profile images. If you only have a numeric user ID, use get_twitter_user_batch_info_by_ids instead. If you need extended profile metadata such as country or username-change history, use get_twitter_user_about. If you want their posts rather than their profile, use get_twitter_user_tweet_timeline.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the meaningful scoping detail that this is a public-profile lookup keyed by handle, plus the returned field set; it does not mention auth or rate limits, which keeps it short of a 5.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded and each subsequent sentence earns its place by routing to a distinct sibling. The injected pricing block adds length that is not part of the tool's semantic content, keeping it from a 5.

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-value explanation is optional, annotations carry the safety profile, and the single parameter is fully documented. An agent has everything needed to select and call this tool correctly, with sibling disambiguation included.

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% and there is only one parameter, so the schema already documents it (baseline 3). The description adds value by specifying the format is the @handle/screen name and by routing numeric-ID callers to a different tool, which the schema alone does not convey.

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 (look up) and resource (one X/Twitter user's public profile) with the exact input form (@handle). It is immediately distinguishable from the profile-adjacent siblings it names, 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 an explicit when-to-use framing (to assess identity, reach, or credibility before trusting content) and then names three concrete alternatives with the condition that selects each: numeric ID → get_twitter_user_batch_info_by_ids, extended metadata → get_twitter_user_about, posts → get_twitter_user_tweet_timeline.

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