metacritic_tv_user_reviews

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

No annotations provided, so description carries burden. Lists return fields (author, score, quote, date, helpfulness, spoiler flag) and mentions pagination. Does not disclose rate limits, data freshness, or error handling, but covers essential behaviors.

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 concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose. No wasted words.

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?

Lists all returned fields, notes pagination, and public data access. Missing explanation of sort parameter or how to obtain slug, but overall sufficient for a list tool without output schema.

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 covers all parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). Description adds minimal semantics beyond declaring pagination and listing return fields. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

Clearly states 'List a Metacritic TV show's user reviews', specifying verb and resource. Differentiates from sibling tools like metacritic_tv (show details) and metacritic_tv_critic_reviews (critic reviews).

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?

Mentions 'Credential-free public Metacritic data' indicating no auth needed. Does not explicitly exclude alternatives, but the context and name make it clear this is for user reviews only.

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