x_api_unmute_user

Unmute a user on X so their posts reappear in your timeline. Use when you need to reverse a mute action via the X API.

Instructions

Unmute User. Use when: Unmute User. Do not use when: a more specific auth/configuration tool is required before the API call or you are only exploring; prefer x_schema_discovery or x_query_suggestion first. Risk: mutating, high-risk. Required permissions and prerequisites: OAuth 2 user token with scopes mute.write, tweet.read, users.read; OAuth 1a user token Environment-selection behavior: scopeTenantId plus exactly one of scopeUserId or scopeAccountId choose the Vault/Postgres tenant principal used for auth resolution. credentialKey selects a non-default stored credential profile when present. Parameter formats and constraints: source_user_id (path, unknown, required); target_user_id (path, unknown, required). Expected response shape: { ok, status, data: { method, path, url, status, contentType, authType, data } } Common failure conditions: missing scoped credentials in Vault, missing required API parameters, X API auth failures, rate limits, or unsupported multipart/body shape. Recommended prerequisite and follow-up tools: x_connection_info, x_schema_discovery, x_auth_upsert_principal_credentials, x_api_request. Safety warnings: This mutates X state. Validate scope, payload, and authorizationKey before use. Example: {"name":"x_api_unmute_user","arguments":{"scopeTenantId":"default","scopeUserId":"default","source_user_id":""}}

Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and succeeds: it discloses mutation risk ('Risk: mutating, high-risk'), safety warnings, required OAuth scopes, auth resolution behavior, and common failure conditions. This goes far beyond the schema.

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?

The description is well-structured with labeled sections and front-loaded purpose. Some redundancy exists (e.g., 'Use when: Unmute User' repeats the name), but overall it is information-dense and organized.

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?

For an 8-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description is remarkably complete. It covers auth prerequisites, environment selection, expected response shape, failure modes, recommended prerequisite/follow-up tools, and provides an example, leaving few gaps beyond parameter-level details already scored.

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?

The description adds context for scopeTenantId, scopeUserId, scopeAccountId, and credentialKey, and lists the two required path parameters. However, it omits authorizationKey and preferredAuthType, and labels parameter formats as 'unknown'. The example is also incomplete, missing the required target_user_id.

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?

The description clearly states 'Unmute User' as a specific verb+resource action. This unambiguously distinguishes it from sibling tools like x_api_mute_user and x_api_get_users_muting.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The 'Use when' line is tautological ('Unmute User'), but the 'Do not use when' section provides some operational context: prefer x_schema_discovery or x_query_suggestion when exploring, and use auth/configuration tools when setup is needed. However, it does not explicitly compare to sibling tools focused on the same user relationship.

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