twitter_tweet_retweeters

Read-only

Retrieve profiles of users who retweeted a specific tweet. Paginate to view all retweeters and analyze content amplification.

Instructions

List the accounts that retweeted a specific tweet. Returns profile data for each retweeter. Paginate with cursor. Useful for finding who amplified a piece of content or mapping a tweet's distribution network.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idNoTweet/post numeric id (e.g. "1789012345678901234"). Provide exactly one of id or url.
urlNoFull tweet URL, e.g. "https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1789012345678901234". Provide exactly one of id or url.
countNoMax items to return for this page. Typical range 1 to 200; endpoint default (20) applies if omitted. To page through results, pass the cursor from the previous response.
cursorNoOpaque pagination cursor from a previous response's next_cursor field. Omit on the first call; pass on subsequent calls to fetch the next page.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds behavioral details: returns profile data and paginates with cursor. No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences, each providing essential information: the action and result, pagination behavior, and a use case. No wasted words, perfectly concise.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description covers the tool's purpose, pagination, and typical use. Without an output schema, it could be more specific about what 'profile data' includes. However, it is mostly complete for a paginated list tool.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema; it mentions pagination with cursor, which is already in the schema's cursor field description.

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 the tool lists accounts that retweeted a specific tweet, returns profile data for each retweeter, and supports pagination. It distinguishes from siblings like twitter_retweet (which performs an action) and twitter_tweet_detail (which gets tweet content).

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description provides a use case: 'finding who amplified a piece of content or mapping a tweet's distribution network.' It does not explicitly state when not to use or give alternatives, but the context is clear enough given the sibling tool names.

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