get_tweet

Read-only

Retrieve a tweet's text, author, public metrics, media (photos and video posters), and account persona. Supports image content for vision-capable clients.

Instructions

Read-only fetch of one tweet: text, author, public counts, typed media (photos + video posters) and the account's persona. With include_images=true (default) photos also attach as image content so a vision-capable client sees them; the envelope always carries URLs

  • alt text as the fallback. Nothing is posted; draft mode N/A.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. Description adds details on include_images effect, return content, and explicitly states no posting occurs, adding value 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?

Very concise: one short paragraph with front-loaded purpose, followed by important nuance on include_images, and ends with a safety note. No wasted words.

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?

Covers main return items and behavior, output schema exists so full return details are documented elsewhere. Lacks error handling details, but acceptable for a simple read tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. Only include_images is explained; account and tweet_url lack any description, leaving their semantics unclear.

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?

Clearly states it fetches one tweet and lists returned data: text, author, counts, media, persona. Distinguishes from write tools by noting 'Read-only' and 'Nothing is posted'.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Implies use for fetching a single tweet, but no explicit when-to-use or alternatives. Does not distinguish from similar read tools like get_metrics.

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