## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `check_is_following`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check whether one Twitter/X user follows another. Far cheaper than fetching a follower list — use this whenever the question is about a specific pair of accounts. Both IDs must be numeric.
```

## Only reads (13)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `get_list_tweets`

- The name "get_list_tweets" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one page of posts from a Twitter/X list, newest first. A page is large — around 100 posts — plus a next_cursor. Billing is per result, so one call here costs several times a single-user timeline call; do not page through a busy list unless the user asked for that.
```

### `get_tweet`

- The name "get_tweet" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a single Twitter/X post by its numeric ID, including engagement counts. Bills one post request against the caller's balance.
```

### `get_tweet_comments`

- The name "get_tweet_comments" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one page of replies to a Twitter/X post. Returns about 20 replies plus a next_cursor. The first item of a page can repeat the last item of the previous page, so de-duplicate by post id when paging. Each call bills against the caller's balance — do not page through the whole conversation unless the user asked for that.
```

### `get_tweet_thread`

- The name "get_tweet_thread" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one page of a Twitter/X thread — the chain of follow-up posts the author wrote under their own post ("1/", "2/", ...). Give it the ID of any post in the chain and it returns that chain in order. It does NOT return what other people replied; use get_tweet_comments for those. A post the author never followed up on is a one-post thread and correctly returns just that post. Roughly 30 posts per page plus a next_cursor, so a long thread takes several calls. Each call bills against the caller's balance — do not page through a long thread unless the user asked for that.
```

### `get_user_by_id`

- The name "get_user_by_id" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up a Twitter/X user profile by numeric user ID. Bills one user request against the caller's balance.
```

### `get_user_by_username`

- The name "get_user_by_username" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up a Twitter/X user profile by username (handle). Returns the profile including follower and following counts. Bills one user request against the caller's balance.
```

### `get_user_followers`

- The name "get_user_followers" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one page of a user's followers. This is one of the most expensive tools: a page is set upstream and can run to ~100 user records, every one of which is billed. Never page through a large account's followers without the user explicitly asking. Requires a numeric user ID.
```

### `get_user_following`

- The name "get_user_following" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one page of the accounts a user follows. Expensive: a page is set upstream and can run to ~100 user records, every one of which is billed. Never page through a large account's following list without the user explicitly asking. Requires a numeric user ID.
```

### `get_user_mentions`

- The name "get_user_mentions" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one page of posts mentioning a given user, newest first. Returns about 20 posts plus a next_cursor. The first item of a page can repeat the last item of the previous page, so de-duplicate by post id when paging. Each call bills against the caller's balance.
```

### `get_user_tweets`

- The name "get_user_tweets" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one page of a user's own posts (excluding replies), newest first. Returns about 20 posts plus a next_cursor. If the account has a pinned post it is prepended to every page, so de-duplicate by post id when paging. Each call bills against the caller's balance — do not page through a whole timeline unless the user asked for that. Requires a numeric user ID: call get_user_by_username first if you only have a handle.
```

### `get_user_tweets_and_replies`

- The name "get_user_tweets_and_replies" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one page of a user's posts including their replies, newest first. Returns about 20 items plus a next_cursor. If the account has a pinned post it is prepended to every page, so de-duplicate by post id when paging. Each call bills against the caller's balance. Requires a numeric user ID: call get_user_by_username first if you only have a handle.
```

### `search_tweets`

- The name "search_tweets" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search Twitter/X posts. Returns one page of about 20 results plus a
next_cursor, and bills one search request against the caller's balance.

The query supports Twitter's advanced search operators, and using them is
almost always better than a bare keyword search:
  from:handle          posts by an account
  to:handle            replies to an account
  @handle              posts mentioning an account
  #tag                 hashtag
  "exact phrase"       phrase match
  since:2026-01-01     posts on or after a date
  until:2026-02-01     posts before a date
  min_faves:100        at least N likes
  min_retweets:10      at least N retweets
  filter:links         posts containing links
  -filter:replies      exclude replies
Combine them freely: from:jack min_faves:500 since:2026-01-01
```

### `search_users`

- The name "search_users" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search Twitter/X user profiles by name or handle. Returns one page of matching profiles and bills against the caller's balance. Use this when you know roughly who someone is but not their exact handle.
```
