AniList MCP Server

Get studio

get_studio
Read-only

Retrieve a studio's profile and most popular produced titles by AniList ID or name.

Instructions

Get a studio's profile (name, whether it's an animation studio) and its most popular produced titles, by AniList studio ID or by name. Use search_studio first if you only have a partial name and need to resolve it to an ID. If both id and name are given, id takes precedence and name is ignored.

Input Schema

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true, so the description does not repeat that. It adds value by disclosing that the tool returns profile and title data, and that parameter precedence is applied, which is beyond the annotation.

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 two concise sentences with no fluff. Key information (what is returned, how to use parameters, when to use alternative) is front-loaded and clearly structured.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The description covers the tool's purpose, parameter usage rules, and a usage tip. Since there is an output schema, return value details are not needed. The guidance is complete for an AI agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already defines parameters. The description adds semantics by explaining the mutual exclusivity and precedence of id vs name, which is useful but not transformative.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves a studio's profile and popular produced titles, specifying the resource and data scope. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on studio-specific data, and the action verb 'get' is precise.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicit guidance is provided: 'Use search_studio first if you only have a partial name.' Parameter precedence ('id takes precedence') and the conditional use case for each parameter are clearly stated.

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