seerr_get_movie_ratings

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

The description adds no behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation. It does not disclose the data source, response format, rate limits, or any potential side effects. Since the annotation already indicates a safe read operation, the description provides no additional value, falling short of what is expected even with annotations present.

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?

The description is a single short phrase, making it highly concise and easy to parse. It contains no filler and is front-loaded with the key verb and noun. However, the extreme brevity sacrifices necessary details, so it is not a perfect balance.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, output schema present), the description is minimally viable but incomplete. It fails to explain parameter semantics clearly, and while the readOnly annotation covers safety, the lack of usage guidelines leaves gaps. The output schema likely provides return structure, but the description does not address the parameter in context, making it just barely sufficient.

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?

The single parameter 'movie_id' has no schema description, and the description does not explain it. With 0% schema coverage, the description should clarify the expected ID type or format (e.g., TMDB ID), but it remains silent. The parameter name is somewhat inferable but not sufficient for robust tool selection and invocation.

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?

The description clearly states the action (get) and resource (movie ratings), distinguishing it from sibling tools like seerr_get_movie and seerr_get_movie_recommendations. It is specific and concise, though it could be more explicit about the scope (e.g., a single movie's ratings).

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only states the operation, leaving the agent to infer context from the tool name alone. It does not mention any prerequisites, exclusions, or why one might choose this over seerr_get_movie or seerr_get_tv_ratings.

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