Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢tinyurl_get_link(domain, alias)
Details of one short link: destination URL, tiny_url, tags, created/expires dates, archived/deleted flags, analytics settings, total hits and owner. GET /alias/{domain}/{alias}.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"domain": {
"default": "tinyurl.com",
"description": "The short link's domain: tinyurl.com (default) or one of the account's branded domains.",

}🟢tinyurl_list_links(type, from, to, search, limit)
List the account's short links (type available = active, archived = archived), optionally created within a date range or filtered by alias or tag. The TinyURL API does not page this list: at most `limit` items (default 50, max 200) are returned together with the total, so narrow with from/to/search when truncated is true. GET /urls/{type}.

}🟢tinyurl_get_analytics(report, from, to, alias, tag, ...)
Aggregated click analytics for the account, or for one link (alias) or one tag, from a start date. report: timeline (clicks over time; interval minute/hour/day/week/month), general (browsers, operating systems, devices), weekday and hour (popularity), top_sources (referrers), top_languages, location (countries, or the regions of one country via region = ISO 3166 alpha-2 code). Which reports are available depends on the account's TinyURL plan. Visitor-level raw logs are not exposed. GET /analytics/*.

}🟡tinyurl_create_link(url, domain, alias, tags, expires_at, ...)
WRITE: create ONE new short link for an http(s) destination URL. Optional custom alias (5-30 characters on tinyurl.com), domain (tinyurl.com or a branded domain), tags, expiry and description. Not idempotent: calling it again without an alias creates another link. Returns the new tiny_url. POST /create.

}🔴tinyurl_update_link(domain, alias, new_alias, new_tags, new_expires_at, ...)
WRITE: change an existing short link's alias, tags, expiry, description or click-analytics switch. At least one new_* field is required. DESTRUCTIVE for what it replaces: new_tags REPLACES all existing tags, and renaming the alias (new_alias) makes the old short URL stop working. The destination URL is changed with tinyurl_change_destination. PATCH /update.

}🔴tinyurl_change_destination(domain, alias, url)
WRITE: point an existing short link at a new destination. DESTRUCTIVE: everyone who opens the short link is sent to the new URL from now on and the old destination is overwritten. The new URL must be http(s). PATCH /change.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"domain": {
"default": "tinyurl.com",

"alias",
"url"
],
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"
}🔴tinyurl_set_link_archived(domain, alias, archived)
WRITE: archive an active short link (archived = true) or restore an archived one (archived = false). Archiving moves the link to the archived list; nothing is deleted and it can be restored. The API's archive endpoint is a toggle, so the link's current state is read first and nothing is changed when it already matches, and the state afterwards is checked. Do not run two archive calls for the same link at once. GET /alias/{domain}/{alias}, then PATCH /archive.
