datasets_boxofficemojo_search

Read-only

Search stored theatrical Box Office Mojo title records by title, ID, year, franchise, brand, genre, gross band, or hydration status. Costs 1 credit per record returned (minimum 2), so keep page_size to what you need. Use datasets_boxofficemojo_item for one record or datasets_boxofficemojo_facets to inspect filter values.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered; the description adds a cost model (1 credit per record, minimum 2) and advises trimming page_size, which is real behavioral context not present in structured fields. It stops short of auth or rate-limit detail, so not a full 5.

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?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with purpose, followed by cost guidance and sibling routing. Every sentence earns its place with no redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With an output schema present, return values need no explanation; all 19 parameters are documented in the schema and the description covers the cost model and sibling alternatives. Nothing needed to invoke correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds genuine meaning for page_size by tying it to per-record credit cost, and the enumerated filter list maps onto the filter parameters. Modest but real value beyond the schema.

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 (Search) and resource (stored theatrical Box Office Mojo title records) and enumerates the filter dimensions, letting an agent distinguish it from sibling retrieval tools without opening any 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?

Explicitly routes the agent: use datasets_boxofficemojo_item for a single record and datasets_boxofficemojo_facets to inspect filter values, with the implicit condition that this tool is for multi-record searching. Alternatives and their triggers are named.

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