get_channel_followers

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the operation is a retrieval ('obtiene') and specifies the output scope (total and recent followers). However, it does not mention authorization requirements or rate limits, but the read-only nature is clear from the verb.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently communicates the tool's purpose without redundant detail. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's core function.

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

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

Given the simplicity of the tool and complete schema coverage, the description sufficiently covers the core functionality. It could detail the exact response structure more explicitly since no output schema is provided, but the description's mention of 'total' and 'most recent followers' gives a reasonable picture.

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

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

The input schema already provides full descriptions for both 'login' and 'limit', so the description adds little parameter-level detail. It does clarify the output includes a total count and a list of recent followers, but this relates to the response rather than the input parameters.

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

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

The description clearly states it retrieves follower statistics for a channel, specifically the total follower count and most recent followers. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_twitch_user or check_user_live, which target different aspects of a channel or user.

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

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

There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_creator_insights. The description only implies its use case by stating what it does, providing no exclusions or context for when another tool would be more appropriate.

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