Get Genre Info

get_genre

Read-onlyIdempotent

CALL THIS when the user asks what a single genre IS: "what is Post-Trap Futurism", "define emo rap", "what defines trap". Returns the genre definition, its key artists, and key tracks. Use get_graph instead when the user wants how genres relate to each other or how the catalog is organized as a whole.

Tool call template

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description still adds value by disclosing the response contents (definition, key artists, key tracks). It doesn't mention behavior for an unknown or misspelled genre, which is the only remaining gap.

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 trigger condition is front-loaded in the first clause, followed by expected outputs and the exclusion in a single tight paragraph. No sentence is redundant.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With annotations covering safety, a 100%-covered single-param schema, and an output schema that documents return values, the description supplies all routing information needed. Minor omission: no guidance on unknown-genre behavior, though little else is missing for a simple read 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?

There is a single parameter and schema coverage is 100%, with the schema already documenting the genre name and giving an example format. The description's quoted examples reinforce expected genre-name phrasing but add no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource (fetch a single genre's definition) and explicitly delimits scope to a single genre rather than relationships. It names the sibling get_graph and the condition that distinguishes it, so an agent can route without opening either schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Leads with an explicit trigger ("CALL THIS when the user asks what a single genre IS") and supplies concrete user-phrasing examples like "define emo rap". It also names the alternative tool and the condition selecting it (relationship/catalog questions go to get_graph), covering both when and when-not.

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