twitter_user_media

Read-only

Retrieve a user's posted images and videos, including photo, video, and animated GIF tweets with media URLs and dimensions. Paginate to browse full visual history.

Instructions

Get the images and videos a user has posted. Returns media-containing tweets with URLs to the media files, dimensions, and type (photo/video/animated_gif). Paginate with cursor. Use this to pull a user's visual content history.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
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.
user_idNoNumeric Twitter/X user id (e.g. "44196397"). Provide exactly one of username or user_id.
usernameNoTwitter/X handle WITHOUT the leading @ (e.g. "elonmusk", "openai"). Provide exactly one of username or user_id.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and destructiveHint. The description adds behavioral details: returns media-containing tweets with URLs, dimensions, and type, and requires pagination with cursor. This adds meaningful context beyond 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?

Three concise sentences: purpose, return details, usage instruction. No wasted words; every sentence adds value.

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?

Without an output schema, the description explains the return values (URLs, dimensions, type) and pagination. It covers the essential aspects for using the tool, though it omits error conditions or rate limits.

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 the schema already documents all parameters thoroughly. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides for count, cursor, user_id, and username.

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 it gets images and videos a user has posted, specifying return details like URLs, dimensions, and types. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like twitter_user_tweets which return all tweets without media focus.

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 says 'Use this to pull a user's visual content history,' providing clear context for when to use. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like twitter_advanced_search or specify 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.
