TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the source is a public page and that output is normalized release rows, which hints at a read-only operation. But it does not describe the row structure, error behavior, rate limits, or what happens if more than one identifier is supplied.

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?

Two dense sentences with the core purpose front-loaded and the critical identifier constraint stated immediately after. The opening fragment 'Box Office Mojo franchise detail' is slightly redundant given the tool name, but it still serves as a useful subject line.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The schema covers sort, offset, sortDir, and page size, and the description explains the identifier constraint, so a basic call is well-specified. However, there is no output schema and the description does not describe the fields of the normalized release rows or differentiate this tool from the many boxofficemojo siblings, leaving gaps for an agent.

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. The description adds meaningful semantics by clarifying that `id`, `path`, and `url` are mutually exclusive alternatives via 'Pass exactly one of...', which is not evident from the schema alone since all parameters are optional.

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?

The description states a specific action and resource: it returns normalized release rows from a public Box Office Mojo franchise page. This is clearly distinguishable from siblings like boxofficemojo_franchises (plural) which presumably lists franchises, but it does not explicitly name any sibling.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It gives an explicit invocation rule: pass exactly one of `id`, `path`, or `url`. However, it does not say when to choose this tool over the many other boxofficemojo_* siblings, such as boxofficemojo_title or boxofficemojo_release_group, nor does it provide exclusions or alternatives.

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