discover_niche_trends

Identify emerging niche trends within a topic by analyzing video titles to find high-performing keyword combinations for content creation.

Instructions

智能发现某个主题下的细分爆款领域。通过分析大量视频标题,自动识别高 VPH 的关键词组合,例如在 'AI' 主题下发现 'AI Kpop'、'AI 印度故事' 等细分趋势。

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
main_topicYes主题关键词(如 'AI', 'tutorial', 'funny')
hours_agoNo时间范围(小时),默认 24 小时
min_videosNo细分领域最少视频数量,默认 3
top_nichesNo返回前 N 个细分领域,默认 10

Implementation Reference

  • Main handler implementation of discover_niche_trends tool. Analyzes video titles to extract keyword combinations (bigrams/trigrams), calculates average VPH (Views Per Hour) for each niche, filters by minimum video count, ranks by average VPH, and returns a detailed Markdown report of top performing sub-niches within a main topic.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes the tool's function (discovering niche trends by analyzing video titles) and mentions '高 VPH' (high VPH, likely meaning high views per hour), but lacks details on permissions, rate limits, data sources, or output format. For a tool with no annotations and no output schema, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves operationally.

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 concise and front-loaded, stating the core purpose in the first sentence. It uses two sentences total: one for the main function and one for an example, with no redundant information. However, it could be slightly more structured by explicitly separating purpose from method, but overall it's efficient and clear.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (analyzing video data to identify trends), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It explains what the tool does but fails to cover behavioral aspects like data sources, processing time, error handling, or output format. For a tool with 4 parameters and no structured output information, more context is needed to ensure the agent can use it effectively.

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%, meaning all parameters are well-documented in the input schema. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, as it only implicitly references 'main_topic' through examples and doesn't elaborate on parameter interactions or usage nuances. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description doesn't significantly enhance parameter understanding.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: '智能发现某个主题下的细分爆款领域' (intelligently discover niche trending areas under a specific topic). It specifies the method ('通过分析大量视频标题,自动识别高 VPH 的关键词组合' - by analyzing many video titles, automatically identify high VPH keyword combinations) and provides concrete examples ('例如在 'AI' 主题下发现 'AI Kpop'、'AI 印度故事' 等细分趋势' - e.g., discovering 'AI Kpop', 'AI Indian stories' under the 'AI' topic). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_trending_topics' or 'get_youtube_shorts_trends', which might also involve trend analysis.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions analyzing video titles to find niche trends but doesn't compare it to sibling tools such as 'analyze_video_potential' or 'get_trending_topics', leaving the agent to infer usage based on general context. There are no exclusions or prerequisites stated, which limits practical application.

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