seasonal_anime

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

Without annotations, the description adds some transparency by mentioning pagination, optional field selection, and case-insensitivity. However, it does not disclose side effects, authorization needs, or data freshness. More behavioral context would be helpful.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose, and includes a concise note on case-insensitivity. No wasted words.

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 7 optional parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain return values, pagination details, or acceptable values for parameters like season. More completeness is needed for effective use.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description should explain parameters. It only notes case-insensitivity for season, source, and source_sort, and refers to 'selected fields' for the fields parameter. No details on year, page, limit, or other parameters are provided.

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 'Query a paginated seasonal anime page from Medusa', which is a specific verb and resource. It also mentions optional field selection. This distinguishes from siblings like anime_info (single anime) and seasonal_candidates (likely different).

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 implies usage for listing seasonal anime with pagination but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It mentions case-insensitivity for some parameters but does not discuss alternatives or exclusions.

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