indiewire_news

Fetch IndieWire's current headline stories on independent film, TV, and awards, returning titles, URLs, summaries, authors, and publication times, excluding galleries and list pages.

Instructions

Get IndieWire top stories. Returns IndieWire's current top stories on independent film, TV and awards, with no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, one-sentence summary, author and publication time. Gallery and list pages are left out because they are not text articles.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose the return shape (title, URL, one-sentence summary, author, publication time) plus the exclusion of gallery/list pages. It omits operational traits like freshness cadence or rate limits, but for a read-only public feed the coverage is solid.

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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose followed by return fields and exclusions. Nothing is padded, though the return-field enumeration is slightly list-like rather than prose.

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 parameters and no output schema, the description compensates by enumerating the returned fields and the content it filters out, which is enough for an agent to call and interpret the tool. Only the sibling-differentiation gap keeps it from being fully complete.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, which is the baseline-4 case. The description reinforces this by explicitly stating 'with no parameters,' so there is no ambiguity about invocation.

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 verb and resource ('Get IndieWire top stories') and scopes the content to independent film, TV and awards. It is clear on its own, but it does not distinguish itself from the sibling indiewire_headlines, which an agent could easily confuse with 'top stories.'

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?

Usage is only implied: the description notes there are no parameters and that gallery/list pages are excluded, which hints at when the output is appropriate. It never names an alternative (indiewire_headlines, indiewire_article, indiewire_author) or states when to prefer this tool over them.

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