• search_tweets read-only

  🎯 PRIMARY CHOICE for date-range / historical / keyword-based tweet queries. Use this (NOT get_user_last_tweets) whenever user asks about a SPECIFIC TIME RANGE or historical tweets: • 'tweets from January 2026' → query='from:elonmusk since:2026-01-01 until:2026-02-01' • 'tweets between X and Y' → 'from:USER since:X until:Y' • 'tweets last week / last month' → translate to since:/until: dates • 'tweets containing keyword X by user Y' → 'from:Y X' • 'older tweets' / 'archive' / 'in 2025' → use date range, not pagination Date format: YYYY-MM-DD (UTC midnight). 'until:' is exclusive (until:2026-02-01 = up to Jan 31). General: Search Twitter/X for tweets matching a query. Supports the full Twitter advanced search syntax (from:, to:, since:, until:, lang:, filter:, has:, -, OR, etc). Returns ~20 tweets per page in reverse chronological order ('Latest') or by engagement ('Top'). Use this for keyword research, monitoring mentions of a brand/topic, finding tweets in a date range, or any open-ended tweet discovery.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Twitter advanced search query string. Supports operators: from:USER, to:USER, since:YYYY-MM-DD, until:YYYY-MM-DD, lang:en, filter:replies, -filter:retweets, has:images, etc. Example: 'from:elonmusk since:2026-01-01 has:images'
  • queryType (required) — string — 'Latest' returns most recent tweets first; 'Top' returns highest-engagement tweets first. Default to 'Latest' for time-sensitive queries.
  • cursor — string — Pagination cursor from a previous response's next_cursor field. Omit for first page. Each page returns ~20 tweets.

• get_user_info read-only

  Fetch basic profile info for a Twitter/X user by their screen name (handle). Returns user ID, display name, bio, follower/following counts, verified status, profile picture, banner, location, website, and account creation date. Use this as the starting point for any user analysis.

  Parameters:

  • userName (required) — string — Twitter/X screen name (handle) WITHOUT the leading @ sign. Example: 'elonmusk', not '@elonmusk'.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• get_user_about read-only

  Fetch the extended 'about' / profile page data for a Twitter/X user by screen name. Returns extra profile metadata beyond what get_user_info gives (when available). Use get_user_info first; only call this if you need additional about-page fields.

  Parameters:

  • userName (required) — string — Twitter/X screen name without @ — fetches the user's profile 'about' / bio page.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• get_user_followers read-only

  Fetch followers of a Twitter/X user in reverse chronological order (newest first), each with full profile metadata (name, bio, follower count, verified status, etc.). Paginates via cursor. Use this to analyze who follows an account, build follower audiences, or sample for competitive analysis. For large accounts use pagination; you will not get all followers in one call.

  Parameters:

  • userName (required) — string — Twitter/X screen name without @ — fetches followers of this user.
  • cursor — string — Pagination cursor from previous response's next_cursor. Omit for first page.
  • pageSize — integer — Followers per page (default 200, max 200). Each follower includes full profile metadata (name, bio, follower count, etc.).

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• get_user_followings read-only

  Fetch the accounts a Twitter/X user follows, with full profile metadata. Paginates via cursor. Use this to map a user's interest graph (who they follow signals what they care about).

  Parameters:

  • userName (required) — string — Twitter/X screen name without @ — fetches accounts this user follows.
  • cursor — string — Pagination cursor; omit for first page.
  • pageSize — integer — Followings per page (default 200, max 200). Each includes full profile metadata.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• get_user_last_tweets read-only

  ⚠️ ONLY for 'latest / recent / what's new' queries about a user. DO NOT use for date-range queries (e.g. 'tweets from January 2026', 'tweets last week', 'tweets between X and Y', 'tweets in 2025'). For specific dates / older tweets, use **search_tweets** with query like 'from:elonmusk since:2026-01-01 until:2026-02-01'. Fetch the MOST RECENT tweets posted by a Twitter/X user, sorted by created_at descending (newest first). Provide EITHER userName (screen name, no @) OR userId (numeric). Use userId when known — handles can change. Set includeReplies=true to include the user's reply tweets in addition to top-level tweets. Paginates via cursor (~20 per page).

  Parameters:

  • cursor — string — Pagination cursor; omit for first page.
  • userId — string — Twitter/X numeric user ID (e.g. '44196397'). Provide EITHER userName OR userId. Prefer userId if known — handles can change.
  • userName — string — Twitter/X screen name without @ (e.g. 'elonmusk'). Provide EITHER userName OR userId.
  • includeReplies — boolean — Include the user's reply tweets in addition to top-level tweets. Default false — only top-level tweets.

  Fetch tweets that mention a specific Twitter/X user (i.e. tweets containing @userName). Useful for brand monitoring, sentiment tracking on a public figure, or finding conversations involving an account. Supports time-bound queries via sinceTime/untilTime (Unix seconds). Paginates via cursor.

  Parameters:

  • userName (required) — string — Twitter/X screen name without @ — fetches tweets that mention this user (@userName).
