Get Threads profile

threads_profile_get
Read-only

Get a Threads profile for a creator or account. Accepts a handle.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
handleYesThreads handle to look up, with or without a leading @.
contextYesDescribe the user's underlying goal in one sentence — not the tool you are calling.
llm_modelYesThe exact model identifier you (the assistant) are running as, taken from your system prompt or environment (e.g. "claude-opus-4-8", "gpt-5.2"). Used for analytics only. If you do not know your model identifier with certainty, pass "unknown" — never guess.
conversation_idNoEcho the conversation_id from the server's previous response. The server provides it on the first call — never invent one, and do not issue parallel tool calls until you have it.

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the agent knows the operation is safe and non-mutating. The description adds minimal behavioral context: it says the tool accepts a handle, which is more of a parameter detail than a behavior. It doesn't disclose anything about authentication, rate limits, response format, or special behavior. With annotations covering the safety profile, this is an adequate but not rich contribution.

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 extremely concise: one sentence with two clauses. It states the resource, the audience, and the key input requirement. No redundant phrases or filler. Information is front-loaded with the main verb and resource at the start.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a read-only profile getter with no output schema, the description conveys the essential purpose. However, it doesn't mention that handles can have or omit the leading '@' (that's only in the schema), and it doesn't distinguish this profile endpoint from the users_search endpoint. The sibling set includes threads_users_search, which could plausibly also resolve a handle, so the description alone isn't fully complete for routing the agent to the correct tool.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all four parameters. The description mentions that a handle is accepted, which aligns with the 'handle' parameter but doesn't add new meaning beyond it. The baseline of 3 applies here because the schema carries the heavy lifting, and the description adds little to no additional semantic value.

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 verb and resource: 'Get a Threads profile for a creator or account. Accepts a handle.' It identifies the tool as the profile-fetching tool within the Threads group, which is distinct from threads_post_get, threads_profile_posts_list, and threads_search_list. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate itself from the sibling threads_users_search, which likely also retrieves profile information via search, so it's clear but not fully differentiated.

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?

The description implies the tool is for looking up a Threads profile by handle, but it does not state when to prefer it over alternatives like threads_users_search or threads_search_list. No explicit when/when-not guidance or alternatives are mentioned. The context is clear enough for basic use, but the sibling differentiation is left entirely up to the agent.

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

B3.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool is clearly scoped to a specific platform and action (e.g., facebook_post_get vs instagram_post_get). Descriptions explicitly differentiate similar tools across platforms, and within-a-platform tools like tiktok_search_videos_list vs tiktok_search_hashtag_list have clear disambiguation notes.

Naming Consistency5/5

All 167 tools follow a strict `platform_resource_action` pattern (e.g., youtube_video_comments_list). No mixing of styles—snake_case throughout, with consistent verb ordering (get, list, search, etc.).

Tool Count2/5

The server has 167 tools, which is far beyond the typical well-scoped range of 3-15. While the broad multi-platform scope justifies many tools, this extreme number makes the tool surface overwhelming and difficult for an agent to navigate efficiently.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide range of platforms and operations including profile retrieval, post/video fetching, comments, search, transcripts, and ad library access. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no Facebook events or LinkedIn messaging), but the surface is comprehensive for a read-only data aggregation use case.
