Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
paramsNoQuery parameters for the chosen operation, as string key/value pairs. See this tool's description for the accepted parameter names per operation.
operationYesWhich operation to perform
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses the HTTP method and a short functional summary for each operation (e.g., 'Remove a series from the member's account'), which conveys side effects. However, it does not mention authentication requirements, rate limits, or error behavior, leaving some transparency gaps.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with a clear high-level instruction, but the body is an extensive, repetitive list of 34 operations with parameters. While each entry provides necessary information, the sheer length and identical phrasing patterns make it less concise than it could be, though still structurally organized.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity and absence of an output schema, the description should explain return formats or response structures, but it does not. It also omits information about authentication, error handling, and pagination details beyond what parameter documentation hints at. The functional summaries are insufficient for an agent to fully anticipate tool behavior.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema only defines a generic 'params' object, but the description goes far beyond by specifying exact parameter names, optionality, and semantics for every operation (e.g., 'id? (Series ID (Optional if thetvdb_id specified))'). This is essential for correct invocation and fully compensates for the schema's lack of operation-specific detail.

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 opens with 'Call the BetaSeries "shows" API', which is a specific verb and resource clearly distinct from sibling tools focused on other domains (episodes, seasons, members, etc.). It enumerates all show-related operations, making the tool's scope unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description provides the instruction 'Pick an operation and pass its parameters in the params object', which implies usage, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives like betaseries_seasons or betaseries_episodes. Context is clear from the operation list, but no exclusions or alternatives are given.

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