tmdb_collection

Read-only

Fetch a TMDB movie collection's overview and member movie records by collection ID. Use tmdb_movie_list for movie charts, tmdb_search to discover a title or collection, or tmdb_movie for one movie's details.

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety and external-data profile is covered. The description adds the useful detail that both an overview and member records are returned, but discloses nothing further about pagination, ordering, or limits.

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?

Two tight sentences: the capability comes first, then the disambiguation sentence. No filler, and every clause carries routing information.

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?

For a read-only, single-parameter lookup with an output schema that already defines the return shape, the description covers enough to call it correctly. Only minor items like id format nuances are left to the schema.

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?

Only one parameter with 100% schema coverage, where the schema already documents 'TMDB collection id or id-slug'. The description restates 'by collection ID' without adding format or lookup guidance beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 (fetch), resource (TMDB movie collection), and exactly what is returned: the overview plus member movie records, scoped by collection ID. This distinguishes it cleanly from tmdb_movie, tmdb_movie_list, and tmdb_search.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly routes the agent away from this tool for three cases (movie charts -> tmdb_movie_list, title/collection discovery -> tmdb_search, single movie -> tmdb_movie). It never states the positive trigger in so many words, but 'by collection ID' plus the exclusions make the use case clear.

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