Get Manga Detail

get_manga_detail
Read-only

Retrieve complete public details for a manga using its MyAnimeList ID, including synopsis, statistics, publication info, genres, authors, and recommendations.

Instructions

Fetch full public details for one manga by its MAL id.

Returns title(s), synopsis, community stats (mean, rank, popularity), publication info, chapter/volume counts, genres, authors, serialization magazines, related_manga/related_anime, and up to 10 community recommendations. If the manga is on the authenticated user's list, my_list_status is included.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safe read nature is known. The description adds transparency by listing the specific data returned (title, synopsis, stats, etc.) and notes the conditional my_list_status. It does not contradict annotations and provides useful behavioral context.

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 three sentences, front-loaded with the purpose, then enumerating return fields efficiently. No wasted 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?

With one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool does and what it returns, including conditional fields. It does not discuss error handling or performance, but for a simple detail fetch, this is sufficient.

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%: manga_id is fully described in the schema. The description only repeats 'MAL id' and adds 'e.g. from search results', which adds minimal value. Baseline 3 is 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?

The description clearly states the verb 'fetch' and resource 'full public details for one manga by its MAL id', which is specific and distinct from sibling tools like search_manga or get_manga_ranking. The returned fields are listed, providing a clear purpose.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description implies usage when you have a MAL id and want full details. It mentions the conditional inclusion of my_list_status, but does not explicitly contrast with siblings or state when not to use. However, the context is clear enough.

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