get_top_followers

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

No annotations; description only hints at approximation and sampling but does not disclose read-only nature, required authentication, or rate limits. Falls short of fully informing the agent.

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?

Single sentence is concise but too brief to convey necessary information. Lacks structure to highlight key details about approximation and parameters.

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 4 parameters with no schema descriptions and no annotations, the description fails to provide essential context. Output schema exists but does not compensate for missing input semantics.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%; description provides no explanation for any of the four parameters (target, sample_size, top_n, max_pages). Agent cannot infer their meaning or usage.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'Get' and resource 'ranking of the biggest followers by follower count', with qualifiers 'approximate sampled'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_followers_page (exact list) and rank_media_likers_by_followers (ranks likers).

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like get_followers_page or search_profile_followers. Does not mention context, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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