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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It states the tool returns normalized tables from a public page, implying a read operation, but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication requirements, or error handling. More detail is needed for a safe agent interaction.

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

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

The description is two sentences with no redundancy, front-loading the purpose. Every word adds value, including the specification of returned tables and the parameter constraint.

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

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

Given no output schema, the description mentions 'release-group and market-gross tables' which gives some idea of the return structure. However, it lacks details on the format or any edge cases. For a tool with many siblings, this is moderately complete.

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

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

Schema coverage is 100% with simple descriptions. The description adds crucial semantics by requiring exactly one parameter, which is not captured by the schema's optional settings. This constraint prevents misuse.

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

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

The description clearly states the tool returns 'normalized Box Office Mojo title release-group and market-gross tables' from a public title page, using a specific verb ('Returns') and resource ('title detail'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like boxofficemojo_release or boxofficemojo_release_group by specifying the exact data returned.

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

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

The description explicitly instructs to 'Pass exactly one of id, path, or url', providing clear usage guidance. While it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over siblings, the instruction is sufficient for correct invocation.

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