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

Discloses default behaviors (omit platform for both, default 10 results) but lacks information on rate limits, data freshness, or authentication requirements given no annotations exist.

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?

Appropriately brief with clear Args section structure; information is front-loaded though informal formatting.

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?

Adequate for a simple 2-parameter tool with output schema; covers all inputs though brief mention of return structure would help.

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?

Compensates for 0% schema description coverage by documenting valid enum values for platform and precise semantics for limit (results per platform, default 10).

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?

States specific action (Show trending content) and target platforms (Netflix/YouTube), distinguishing it from sibling control tools like tv_play or tv_volume, though 'content' could specify movies/shows/videos.

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?

Provides no guidance on when to select this over similar discovery tools like tv_recommend or tv_launch; only documents parameter usage.

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