indiewire_article

Fetch public IndieWire article content from a canonical URL. Returns metadata and body paragraphs as seen by an anonymous visitor; paywalled content is never bypassed.

Instructions

Get IndieWire article content. Returns public IndieWire article metadata (title, author(s), published/updated dates, section, lead image) and the body paragraphs an anonymous visitor sees, from a canonical article URL. Paywalled content is never bypassed; a gated story would return only its public portion.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does this well by specifying exactly what is returned, scoping content to what an anonymous visitor sees, and explicitly stating that paywalled content is never bypassed and gated stories yield only public portions. This is meaningful transparency beyond the schema.

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 compact and front-loaded: it states the action first, then the return payload, then the key limitation. Every sentence adds distinct information with no filler.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a single-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description is complete: it specifies the input, enumerates the returned fields, and clarifies the paywall boundary. An agent has enough information to select and invoke this tool correctly.

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?

The schema already describes the single parameter as 'Canonical IndieWire article URL' with 100% coverage. The description repeats the canonical-URL notion but adds no additional format, validation, or usage detail beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource ('Get IndieWire article content') and clearly enumerates what is returned. It differentiates itself from sibling IndieWire tools and other article tools by naming the exact source and input type (canonical article URL).

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 makes the usage context clear: it retrieves a single article from a canonical URL, so an agent knows it is for article-level retrieval rather than author, headlines, or section tools. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when-not-to-use, hence not a 5.

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