rottentomatoes_browse_tv

Browse TV series listings from Rotten Tomatoes with filters for genre, rating, critics, audience, and streaming services; use cursor pagination to fetch additional rows.

Instructions

Rotten Tomatoes TV discovery rows. Returns TV series rows from Rotten Tomatoes' browse listing. Use /rottentomatoes/browse/filters?list=tv_series_browse to discover current filters; pagination uses the opaque after cursor from the previous response.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the load; it discloses pagination via an opaque `after` cursor and points at a filter-discovery endpoint, which are real behavioral facts. It does not state that this is a read-only listing, whether results are capped or cached, or what the returned rows contain beyond 'TV series rows'.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the return type and followed by the two operational details an agent actually needs. No filler or redundant restatement of the title.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a 9-parameter browse endpoint with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers pagination and filter discovery adequately. However, with no output schema present, it does not describe what a returned row contains, so the agent cannot anticipate the response shape.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so each parameter is already documented, including enums sourced from browse/filters and the cursor source path. The description restates the filter-discovery and cursor mechanics rather than adding syntax or semantics beyond the schema.

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 ('Returns TV series rows from Rotten Tomatoes' browse listing'), which clearly separates it from movie browsing and title-level siblings. It stops short of naming rottentomatoes_browse_movies or rottentomatoes_search explicitly as the alternative.

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?

It explains the filter-discovery prerequisite via `/rottentomatoes/browse/filters?list=tv_series_browse` and how to paginate, which is genuinely useful usage guidance. It never says when an agent should prefer this over a search or title-lookup sibling, leaving that boundary implicit.

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