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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions 'public' data but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, authentication needs, rate limits, or pagination behavior. Adequate but minimal.

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?

Two succinct sentences conveying purpose and key constraint. No superfluous content; each sentence adds value.

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?

No output schema exists, yet the description only mentions 'normalized public IMDb award rows' without specifying fields or structure. For a simple retrieval tool, it suffices but lacks completeness about return format.

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 description coverage is 100% with clear definitions for 'id' and 'url'. The description only adds a usage constraint ('exactly one'), not enhancing parameter meaning beyond the schema.

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 it returns normalized public IMDb award rows for a title, with specific verb 'returns' and resource 'normalized public IMDb award rows'. It distinguishes from sibling tools focusing on other aspects of IMDb titles.

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?

Explicitly instructs to pass exactly one of 'id' or 'url', which helps the agent avoid invalid calls. While it doesn't compare with alternative tools, the unique purpose makes the context clear.

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