What's new on a streaming service

whats_new_on

List new movies and TV shows added to any major streaming service in 30 Asian markets. Enter a provider slug and country code to see recent arrivals with overviews and links.

Instructions

List the latest movies and TV shows recently added to a specific streaming service in a specific country.

Use this tool when a user asks 'what's new on Netflix in India', 'any new shows on Wavve', 'what came out on Disney+ Hotstar this month', etc.

Common provider slugs to use as the provider argument: netflix, prime-video, disney-plus-hotstar, jiohotstar, hulu-japan, wavve, tving, viu, vidio, iqiyi, shahid, osn-plus, starzplay, hoichoi, chorki, zee5, sun-nxt, aha, eros-now, manorama-max, shemaroo-me, crunchyroll, apple-tv-plus, hbo-max

Country must be a 2-letter ISO code from OTTASIA's 30 supported markets (IN PK BD ID MY PH SG TH MM KH LA BN CN HK JP KR TW KZ UZ TR IL LB JO SA AE KW QA BH OM EG). Returns a list of recent arrivals with brief overviews + links. Pair with where_to_watch if the user wants details on a specific title.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
providerYesStreaming service slug. Examples: netflix, prime-video, disney-plus-hotstar, jiohotstar, wavve, tving, viu, shahid, hoichoi, zee5, sun-nxt. Use lowercase + hyphens.
countryNo2-letter ISO country code. One of: IN, PK, BD, ID, MY, PH, SG, TH, MM, KH, LA, BN, CN, HK, JP, KR, TW, KZ, UZ, TR, IL, LB, JO, SA, AE, KW, QA, BH, OM, EG. Defaults to IN if omitted.
limitNoMax number of titles to return (1-30, default 15). Lower limit = quicker response.
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided; description notes returns list with overviews+links and that limit affects response speed. No mention of auth, rate limits, or side effects. Adequate but not exhaustive.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, followed by usage, provider list, country list, return info, and pairing hint. Country list is somewhat long but necessary. No wasted sentences.

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?

No output schema, but description explains return format and suggests pairing with where_to_watch. For a simple list tool with 3 well-defined parameters, it covers essential context.

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%; description adds context by listing common provider slugs, valid country codes, default country (IN), and limit range with performance hint. Adds value beyond 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?

The description clearly states it lists latest movies and shows added to a specific streaming service and country. It distinguishes from siblings by mentioning pairing with where_to_watch for details.

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?

Includes explicit examples and contexts like 'what's new on Netflix in India' and suggests pairing with where_to_watch. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or contrast with search_titles.

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