rottentomatoes_season_reviews

Read-only

Returns the critic reviews of one Rotten Tomatoes TV season, newest first, with stable review ids, ISO created_at/updated_at timestamps, critic identity, publication and original article URLs. Use the season path such as /tv/breaking_bad/s01; limit reviews per page, pageable with the returned end_cursor through the available reviews (keep limit the same while paging). A season with no reviews yet returns an empty list.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlNoAbsolute https://www.rottentomatoes.com season URL
pathNoRotten Tomatoes season path
typeNoReview list: critics (default), top-critics or audience. Documented values: critics, top-critics, audience.
afterNoPagination cursor: pass data.page_info.end_cursor from the previous response. Critic cursors are base64 page indexes; audience cursors are opaque keyset values that should be passed back unchanged. The feed has no 500-review ceiling; browser fallback is capped at five pages.
limitNoReviews per page, default 10, max 20. Keep it the same on every page of one walk: the cursor is a page index times this value.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, and the description adds real behavioral context beyond them: result ordering, the empty-list case for seasons without reviews, and the invariant that the cursor is tied to the page size. Return-field detail (ids, timestamps, URLs) is partly redundant with the output schema, which keeps it from a 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three dense sentences with the core purpose front-loaded and pagination guidance following logically; no filler. A few clauses duplicate the input schema (limit consistency, cursor semantics), costing a point on tightness.

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?

For a five-parameter, all-optional tool with an output schema and annotations, this covers what an agent needs: what is returned, ordering, path format, paging mechanics, and empty-state behavior. The one soft gap is that it frames output as 'critic reviews' while the `type` parameter also allows top-critics and audience, but the schema documents those values explicitly.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description earns extra by giving a concrete path format example (/tv/breaking_bad/s01) that the schema's bare 'Rotten Tomatoes season path' description lacks. It also restates the limit-stability rule that the schema already documents for `after`, which is redundant but not harmful.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource (critic reviews of one Rotten Tomatoes TV season) plus the ordering (newest first), which is enough to separate it from rottentomatoes_movie_reviews and rottentomatoes_episode_reviews by resource scope alone. It never names a sibling or explicitly excludes them, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

Gives concrete procedural guidance: supply the season path (with the /tv/breaking_bad/s01 example), page with the returned end_cursor, and keep `limit` constant across a walk. It offers no when-not guidance or routing against rottentomatoes_season or rottentomatoes_critic_reviews, so it is clear context rather than full alternative coverage.

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