Sonarr: Wanted (Missing)

sonarr_wanted_missing
Read-only

Lists monitored episodes that are wanted but missing. After identifying missing episodes, trigger an indexer search to find them.

Instructions

List episodes that are wanted but not yet downloaded. Filters to monitored items by default. Once you've identified what's missing, trigger an indexer hunt with sonarr_search_missing.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds that it filters to monitored items by default. This provides useful behavioral context beyond the annotations, without contradicting them.

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 description is two sentences long, front-loads the core purpose, and includes a helpful follow-up suggestion. Every sentence earns its place without unnecessary detail.

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?

Given the simple tool (2 parameters, no output schema, read-only), the description adequately covers what the tool does and how to use it. It implies the output (list of episodes) but does not detail the return format, but that is acceptable for such a straightforward 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents the two parameters. The description only mentions the default filter behavior but does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema fields.

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 the tool's purpose: 'List episodes that are wanted but not yet downloaded.' It specifies the resource (episodes) and the action (list), and distinguishes from sibling tools like sonarr_search_missing by indicating the follow-up action.

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?

The description provides clear context: use to identify missing episodes, and mentions the next step with sonarr_search_missing. However, it does not explicitly say when not to use this tool or compare with other listing tools like sonarr_calendar or sonarr_history.

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