resolve_and_add_anime

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

With no annotations, the description only discloses the dry-run behavior. It lacks details on authentication, side effects, rate limits, or return format, leaving significant behavioral gaps.

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 very short (two sentences), which is concise, but it sacrifices necessary detail. It could be expanded without losing conciseness to cover key aspects.

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 has 14 parameters and no schema descriptions, the description fails to provide enough context for correct invocation, such as parameter roles or output details.

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 description provides no information about any of the 14 parameters. Despite 0% schema coverage, it does not compensate by explaining how parameters like title, mal_id, or source are used.

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 tool resolves and optionally adds one anime, with a dry-run mode. This distinguishes it from siblings like resolve_anime_title (only resolve) and add_anime (only add).

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?

The description mentions dry-run unless execute is true, hinting at usage context, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like resolve_anime_title or add_anime.

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