Tool Scores

• get_twitterapi_guideA
  4/5.0
  Behavior3/5

  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 states what the tool returns ('Full guide content with headers, paragraphs, and code examples'), which is helpful. However, it lacks details on potential errors, rate limits, or authentication requirements, which are important for a tool accessing API documentation. The description doesn't contradict any annotations since none exist.

  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?

  The description is well-structured and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by usage guidelines and available guides. Each sentence serves a clear purpose without redundancy. The bullet-like formatting for 'USE THIS WHEN' and 'AVAILABLE GUIDES' enhances readability, making it efficient for an agent to parse.

  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?

  Given the tool's low complexity (1 parameter) and the presence of an output schema (implied by 'Has output schema: true'), the description is reasonably complete. It covers purpose, usage, and return format. However, it could improve by mentioning sibling tools or potential limitations, but the output schema likely handles return values, reducing the need for extensive description.

  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?

  The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the parameter 'guide_name' fully documented via enum and description. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema by listing the same available guides in the 'AVAILABLE GUIDES' section. This redundancy doesn't provide new semantic insights, so it meets the baseline score of 3 for high schema coverage.

  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: 'Get TwitterAPI.io guide pages for conceptual topics.' This specifies the verb ('Get') and resource ('TwitterAPI.io guide pages'), making the function unambiguous. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'search_twitterapi_docs' or 'get_twitterapi_endpoint', which might handle similar documentation retrieval in different ways.

  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?

  The description provides explicit usage guidance with 'USE THIS WHEN: You need information about pricing, rate limits, authentication, or filter rules.' This clearly defines the context for using this tool. Additionally, it lists 'AVAILABLE GUIDES' to specify the exact topics covered, helping the agent understand when this tool is appropriate versus alternatives.

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

• get_twitterapi_authA
  4.7/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes what the tool returns (API key header format, base URL, code examples) and implies it's a read-only informational tool. However, it doesn't mention potential limitations like rate limits or authentication requirements for accessing the guide itself.

  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?

  The description is perfectly structured with clear sections: purpose statement, usage guidelines, and return values. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words. The information is front-loaded and efficiently organized.

  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?

  Given the tool has no parameters, has an output schema, and provides clear documentation of what it returns, the description is complete. It explains exactly what the tool does, when to use it, and what to expect in return, which is sufficient for this informational tool.

  Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

  Parameters4/5

  Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

  The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage. The description appropriately doesn't waste space discussing non-existent parameters. A baseline of 4 is appropriate for zero-parameter tools where the schema already fully documents the empty input structure.

  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's purpose: 'Get TwitterAPI.io authentication guide' with specific details about what it provides (API key usage, headers, code examples). It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_twitterapi_endpoint or get_twitterapi_guide by focusing specifically on authentication setup.

  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?

  The 'USE THIS WHEN' section explicitly states when to use this tool: 'You need to set up authentication or see request examples.' This provides clear guidance on the appropriate context for using this tool versus alternatives.

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

• get_twitterapi_endpointA
  4.7/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes what the tool returns ('Full details including path, parameters, cURL example, and code snippets'), which is valuable context. However, it doesn't mention potential limitations like rate limits, authentication requirements, or error handling, leaving some behavioral aspects unspecified.

  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?

  The description is well-structured with clear sections (purpose, usage guidelines, returns, examples) and uses bullet points for readability. Every sentence adds value—no redundant or unnecessary information—making it efficient and easy to parse.

  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?

  Given the tool's low complexity (1 parameter, 100% schema coverage, output schema exists), the description is complete. It covers purpose, usage context, return details, and examples, compensating for the lack of annotations. The output schema handles return values, so the description doesn't need to explain them further.

  Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

  Parameters4/5

  Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

  The schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents the single parameter 'endpoint_name' with examples. The description adds value by providing common endpoint examples (e.g., 'get_user_info', 'tweet_advanced_search') and reinforcing the need for exact names, which helps clarify usage beyond the schema's technical specification.

  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 verb 'Get' and resource 'complete documentation for a specific TwitterAPI.io endpoint', making the purpose explicit. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list_twitterapi_endpoints' (which lists endpoints) and 'search_twitterapi_docs' (which searches documentation) by focusing on retrieving full details for a known endpoint.

  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?

  The 'USE THIS WHEN' section explicitly states the condition: 'You know the exact endpoint name (e.g., from search results)'. This provides clear guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'search_twitterapi_docs' for unknown endpoints or 'list_twitterapi_endpoints' for browsing.

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

• get_twitterapi_pricingA
  4.7/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the tool's behavior by specifying what information it returns (pricing tiers, credit costs, QPS limits) and implies it's a read-only operation. However, it doesn't mention potential rate limits of this tool itself or authentication requirements.

  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?

  The description is perfectly structured with three distinct sections: purpose statement, usage guidelines, and return information. Each sentence earns its place with zero wasted words, and the information is front-loaded appropriately.

  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?

  Given the tool has no parameters, has an output schema (so return values don't need explanation), and the description comprehensively covers purpose, usage context, and behavioral aspects, this description is complete for a simple information retrieval tool.

  Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

  Parameters4/5

  Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

  The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters since none exist. It provides context about what information will be retrieved, which adds value beyond the empty schema.

  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's purpose with specific verbs and resources: 'Get TwitterAPI.io pricing information' followed by detailed scope ('credit system, endpoint costs, QPS limits'). It distinguishes from siblings like get_twitterapi_endpoint (endpoint details) and get_twitterapi_auth (authentication).

  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?

  The 'USE THIS WHEN' section explicitly states when to use this tool: 'when you need to know API costs, credit calculations, or rate limits.' This provides clear context and distinguishes it from alternatives like searching docs or listing endpoints.

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

• list_twitterapi_endpointsA
  4.7/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool lists endpoints 'organized by category' and returns 'Endpoint names with HTTP method and path for each category', which adds useful behavioral context about the output structure. However, it doesn't mention potential limitations like pagination, rate limits, or error handling, leaving some gaps for a tool with no 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?

  The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by structured sections for usage, categories, and returns. Each sentence earns its place by providing essential information without redundancy, and the bullet-like formatting improves readability while maintaining brevity.

  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?

  Given the tool's low complexity (1 optional parameter), high schema coverage (100%), and the presence of an output schema (implied by 'RETURNS'), the description is complete enough. It covers purpose, usage, categories, and return format, addressing all necessary aspects without needing to explain parameters or output values in detail.

  Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

  Parameters4/5

  Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

  The schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by listing all categories upfront ('CATEGORIES: user, tweet, ...') and clarifying that the category parameter is an 'Optional filter', which enhances understanding beyond the schema's enum and description. This compensates well, though it doesn't provide additional syntax or format details.

  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 verb 'List' and resource 'TwitterAPI.io API endpoints', specifying they are 'organized by category'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_twitterapi_endpoint' (singular) and 'search_twitterapi_docs' by focusing on browsing all endpoints by category rather than retrieving a single endpoint or searching documentation.

  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?

  The 'USE THIS WHEN' section explicitly states when to use this tool: 'You need to browse available endpoints or find endpoints by category.' This provides clear context for usage and implicitly distinguishes it from siblings that handle authentication, specific endpoints, guides, pricing, or documentation search.

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

• search_twitterapi_docsA
  4.7/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes what the tool does (search documentation), what it returns (ranked results with specific fields), and provides concrete examples of query behavior. It doesn't mention rate limits, authentication needs, or error handling, but covers core functionality well for a search tool.

  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?

  The description is well-structured with clear sections (purpose, usage guidelines, returns, examples). Every sentence adds value: the first establishes scope, the second provides usage context, the third describes outputs, and the examples illustrate practical application. No wasted words or redundancy.

  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?

  Given the tool's moderate complexity (search function with 2 parameters), 100% schema coverage, and the presence of an output schema, the description provides excellent context. It covers purpose, usage, returns, and examples, making it complete enough for an agent to understand when and how to use this tool effectively.

  Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

  Parameters4/5

  Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

  With 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 3. The description adds value by providing specific query examples ('advanced search', 'rate limit', etc.) and explaining when to use different max_results values ('comprehensive research' vs 'quick lookups'), which enhances understanding beyond the schema's technical specifications.

  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 specific action ('Search') and resource ('TwitterAPI.io documentation') with explicit scope ('API endpoints, guides, and blog posts'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_twitterapi_endpoint or list_twitterapi_endpoints by emphasizing comprehensive search across all documentation types rather than retrieving specific items.

  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?

  The 'USE THIS WHEN' section explicitly states 'when you need to find information across the entire documentation,' providing clear context for when to use this tool. The examples further illustrate appropriate use cases, though alternatives among siblings aren't directly named, the comprehensive search purpose implicitly differentiates from more targeted sibling tools.

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