Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosure. However, it only states the action without detailing any behavioral traits (e.g., authentication requirements, potential errors, rate limits, or that tweets are public). For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.
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?
The description is extremely concise at a single sentence, with no superfluous words. It directly communicates the tool's purpose without any waste.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 parameters, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate but lacks details such as expected return value (e.g., tweet ID) or any error conditions. It covers the basic action but leaves gaps for practical use.
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the schema already details both parameters. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline of 3.
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 clearly states 'Post a new tweet to Twitter', which is a specific verb ('post') and resource ('tweet'). It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'search_tweets' by focusing on creation rather than retrieval.
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?
No usage guidance is provided. The description does not specify when to use this tool versus the sibling 'search_tweets', nor does it mention any prerequisites, limitations, or contextual conditions for posting a tweet.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_tweetsC
Search for tweets on Twitter
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | Search query | |
| count | Yes | Number of tweets to return (10-100) |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must bear the full burden. However, it only says 'Search for tweets' without disclosing any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, permissions required, rate limits, or result format. This is minimal disclosure.
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?
The description is very concise with one sentence, but it lacks detail that could be included without significant bloat. While it is not verbose, it is also not optimally informative for its length.
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?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description should compensate by explaining return values or usage constraints. It does not; it only states the basic operation, leaving many contextual gaps.
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%, so the schema already explains each parameter. The description does not add any additional meaning or context for the parameters beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline.
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 clearly states the tool searches for tweets on Twitter, which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'post_tweet' implicitly (search vs. post), but does not explicitly state the difference.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the sibling 'post_tweet' or any alternatives. The description simply states what it does, without context on appropriate usage scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one for posting tweets and one for searching tweets. There is no overlap in functionality.
Both tool names follow the verb_noun pattern: 'post_tweet' and 'search_tweets'. The naming is consistent and predictable.
With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for a Twitter API. It is borderline acceptable but lacks the breadth typically expected from a Twitter server.
The tool surface is severely incomplete. Missing fundamental operations like deleting tweets, liking, retweeting, or managing user interactions, which will cause agent failures.
