justwatch_season_episodes

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It only states the output (episodes and offers) but omits any side effects, rate limits, authentication needs, or data range constraints. For a data retrieval tool, more transparency about scope and limits is needed.

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 a single front-loaded sentence that efficiently states the purpose and includes an example ID format. It is concise without being overly terse, though could be improved with structuring or bullet points.

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?

The tool is simple with well-documented parameters and no output schema. However, the lack of usage guidelines and behavioral transparency leaves gaps. It is minimally acceptable for a straightforward tool but not 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?

All three parameters are fully described in the schema (100% coverage). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. Since coverage is high, baseline is 3, and no extra value is provided.

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 retrieves 'JustWatch season episodes' and its output includes episodes and normalized episode offers. It provides an example ID format for clarity. While it doesn't explicitly distinguish from siblings like justwatch_episode_by_id or justwatch_season_by_id, the resource (season episodes) is specific enough.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as justwatch_episode_by_id (for a single episode) or justwatch_show_seasons (to get season list). The description lacks any context about prerequisites or preferred use cases.

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