x-twitter.reply_to_post

Reply to a post from a connected X account.

Call x-twitter.connected_accounts first. Pass user_id or user_name to target a specific account, or omit both to use the default account.

Requires reply_to_post_id. Supports the same content options as x-twitter.create_post: text, polls, media, reply settings, paid partnership disclosure, AI-generated labels, super-follower exclusivity, nullcast posts, cards, communities, and direct-message deep links.

At least one of text, poll, media, or card_uri is required, same as x-twitter.create_post.

Token pricing matches x-twitter.create_post.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses prerequisites (connected_accounts), requirements (reply_to_post_id, at least one content type), and token pricing alignment. It doesn't cover side effects or rate limits, but the core behavior is clearly a reply creation.

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?

Five sentences, each informative: purpose, prerequisite, supported options, requirement, and token pricing. Well-structured and front-loaded.

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 17-parameter schema and output schema, the description provides essential usage context including account selection and content constraints. It references create_post for shared details, making it complete for the tool's complexity.

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 has 100% coverage with detailed per-parameter descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description adds context by grouping content options, stating the mutual exclusivity of card_uri, and explaining account targeting logic beyond the 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 uses a specific verb 'Reply to a post' and identifies the resource as a post from a connected X account. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like x-twitter.create_post by requiring reply_to_post_id.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It instructs calling x-twitter.connected_accounts first and explains account selection via user_id/user_name or default. It references x-twitter.create_post for content options, implying the alternative for new posts, but doesn't explicitly state when not to use this tool.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct purpose, further clarified by group prefixes and clear descriptions. Within each group, tools perform different operations (e.g., domains.lookup vs. domains.whois vs. domains.rdap) with no ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent group.tool_name pattern using snake_case. The naming is predictable and uniformly applied across all groups.

Tool Count4/5

78 tools is high, but the server aggregates multiple distinct API domains (11 groups). Each group has a reasonable number of tools, typically under 10, with TikTok having 17. The count reflects breadth, not bloat.

Completeness5/5

Each domain's tool set covers the primary expected operations (e.g., search, details, reviews, metrics, user info). There are no obvious gaps for read-only analytical use; features like posting are likely out of scope.
