Get X Posts by URLs

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds essentially nothing beyond that — no batch size limits, rate-limit notes, behavior on invalid or deleted URLs, or partial-failure handling, which matter for a batch fetch against an open-world source.

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

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

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the verb and resource come first. Nothing in the sentence is redundant.

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

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

For a simple one-parameter read tool with full schema coverage and safety annotations, the description is minimally sufficient. It is missing the operational context that would make a batch external fetch fully usable, such as batch limits or per-URL failure behavior.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 100% and there is only one parameter, so the schema carries the semantics (array of URL strings, minItems 1, with an example). The description only restates 'a list of post URLs' without adding format constraints or limits, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a clear verb ('Fetch') and resource ('full X (Twitter) posts') scoped to a list of post URLs, which is specific enough to understand the operation. However, it does not distinguish itself from the closely related sibling x-post-by-id, which an agent might reasonably choose for the same intent.

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

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

There is no guidance on when to use this bulk-by-URL tool versus x-post-by-id, x-user-posts, or x-search. The description also omits any prerequisites or conditions such as URL validity requirements or what happens with mixed/broken URLs.

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