Community reviews for a game, with ratings, authors and like counts.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
gameYesGame title, slug, or numeric Backloggd id. Titles are resolved via search, so 'elden ring', 'elden-ring' and '119133' all work.
pageNo1-based page number.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare the operation is read-only and non-destructive, so the description's lack of safety warnings is acceptable. It adds minimal behavioral context (e.g., community scope, included review fields) but omits pagination behavior or any ordering/filtering details.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence that directly states the resource and its key attributes with zero unnecessary words.

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?

For a simple read-only, paginated tool with full schema coverage and supportive annotations, the description adequately conveys what is returned. It could mention pagination specifics or sorting, but it is not critically incomplete.

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 covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The tool description does not add any extra semantic meaning beyond the schema for the game or page parameters.

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 clearly identifies the resource: community reviews for a game, and specifies key included fields (ratings, authors, like counts). It distinguishes from sibling get_user_reviews by focusing on game-specific reviews, though it lacks an explicit verb.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_user_reviews. The description does not state when to prefer this tool or what it cannot do, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name and resource type.

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