## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/tiktok.com/follow_user`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/tiktok.com/follow_user
```

## Input

- `username` (string, required): TikTok handle, with or without leading @. The account must exist and be viewable by the signed-in account: a handle that does not exist, or one TikTok will not show (private, restricted, or gated by the creator's audience controls), is refused rather than followed, because TikTok renders no follow button on those profiles.

## Output

- `changed` (boolean, required): True if this call started the follow; false if already following.
- `username` (string, required)
- `following` (boolean, required)
