imdb_title

Retrieve IMDb title details using a title ID or URL. Returns type, year, runtime, genres, plot, content rating, score, directors, and top cast.

Instructions

IMDb title detail. Returns an IMDb title's details. Pass exactly one of id (such as tt1375666) or url. The response has the title, type, year, release date, runtime, genres, plot, content rating, rating and count, popularity rank, directors and up to three lead cast. Rating and cast fields appear only when present.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does add useful behavioral context: the exact-one-of id/url rule and the conditional nature of rating/cast fields ('appear only when present'). However, it omits any statements about read-only safety, authentication, or rate limits that would matter for a no-annotation tool.

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, then the parameter rule, then the return shape. The field enumeration is longer than strictly necessary but each clause is informative, and nothing is redundant.

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?

With no output schema, the description usefully enumerates the returned fields and flags which are conditional, so an agent knows what to expect. Input handling (id/url exclusivity) and output are both covered, leaving little an agent needs missing.

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, but the description adds real value beyond the schema: the mutual-exclusivity constraint ('exactly one of') and a concrete example id format ('tt1375666') are not stated in the schema itself.

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+resource: 'Returns an IMDb title's details,' with 'detail' implicitly distinguishing it from the search-oriented siblings like imdb_search_title. It is clear what the tool does, but it never explicitly differentiates itself from the many imdb_title_* siblings (credits, awards, reviews, etc.).

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to alternatives such as imdb_search_title. Usage is only implied by the requirement to supply an id or url, which indicates it is a direct-lookup tool rather than a discovery tool.

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