NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ct0NoOptional. The account's ct0 cookie, paired with auth_token. Sent as the x-ct0 header.
accountNoOptional. The @handle (without @) of the authenticated account to act AS, when your key manages more than one session. Omit to use your key's default session.
user_idYesNumeric user id of the account to unfollow.
proxy_urlNoOptional. Residential proxy URL to egress this call through. Recommended for writes: X soft-blocks writes from datacenter IPs as automated. Sent as the x-proxy-url header.
auth_tokenNoOptional. The account's auth_token cookie, to act AS that account for this call (must be paired with ct0). Sent as the x-auth-token header; never placed in the URL.
user_agentNoOptional. User-Agent string to send for this session. Sent as the x-user-agent header.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds context about acting AS the authenticated account and requiring write capability, which is helpful beyond the annotations.

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?

Two sentences, no wasted words, effectively communicates the core purpose and key requirement.

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?

Simple tool with no output schema; the description covers purpose, authentication, and parameter usage adequately. Lacks error handling but sufficient for a basic operation.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema; it only restates that user_id is numeric.

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?

Clearly states the verb 'unfollow' and the resource 'user', specifying 'AS your authenticated account' and 'by numeric user_id'. Distinct from sibling tools like twitter_follow_user or twitter_unfavorite_tweet.

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?

Mentions 'Requires write capability behind your key' but does not provide guidance on when to use vs alternatives, nor when not to use.

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