AT Protocol MCP Server

get_timeline

Read-only

Retrieve your home timeline from AT Protocol, showing posts from followed accounts and algorithmically recommended content.

Instructions

Retrieve the user's home timeline from AT Protocol, returning posts from followed accounts and algorithmically recommended content. Requires authentication (app password). Use get_author_feed to retrieve posts from a specific user instead of the authenticated user's own feed. Subject to per-tool rate limiting.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
algorithmNoFeed algorithm or generator AT-URI to use (e.g. "reverse-chronological" or at://did/.../app.bsky.feed.generator/rkey). Omit for the default home timeline algorithm.
limitNoMaximum number of posts to return (1–100, default 50).
cursorNoOpaque pagination cursor from the previous response cursor field; omit for the first page.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
successYesWhether the timeline was retrieved successfully.
postsYesList of posts in the timeline.
cursorNoOpaque pagination cursor to pass in a subsequent request to retrieve the next page; absent when there are no more results.
hasMoreYesWhether additional pages of results are available.
algorithmNoThe algorithm or feed generator AT-URI used for this request, if provided.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint; description adds authentication requirement (app password) and rate limiting, providing extra 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, front-loaded with key purpose, no wasted words.

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?

Covers all necessary context: resource, authentication, pagination, rate limiting, and differentiation from sibling; output schema exists to handle return values.

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% with clear descriptions for all three parameters; description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 applies.

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?

Description uses specific verb 'Retrieve', clearly states resource 'user's home timeline', and distinguishes from sibling tool 'get_author_feed' for specific user feeds.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states when to use (home timeline), when not to use (use get_author_feed for specific user), and notes authentication and rate limiting requirements.

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