Get anime reviews

get_anime_reviews
Read-only

Retrieve user reviews and scores for a specific anime using its MyAnimeList ID. View review text and rating to evaluate anime quality.

Instructions

Get user reviews for one anime (by mal_id), including score and review text. Get the mal_id from search_anime. (For a cross-title feed, use get_top_reviews.)

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesMyAnimeList numeric ID.

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses that it returns score and review text for one anime. Annotations already provide readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. Does not mention pagination or limit parameter behavior, but overall clear.

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?

Two concise sentences with no wasted words. Front-loaded with key purpose.

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?

Sufficient for a simple read tool with good annotations. Could mention pagination handling, but not essential.

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% and description adds little beyond confirming 'by mal_id' and hinting at output. Baseline 3 appropriate.

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?

Clearly states it gets user reviews for a single anime by mal_id, including score and review text. Distinguishes itself from sibling get_top_reviews.

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?

Explicitly tells user to get mal_id from search_anime and provides an alternative tool (get_top_reviews) for cross-title feeds.

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