Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function 'radarrGetProfiles' that fetches Radarr quality profiles and root folders via the Radarr client API.
    async radarrGetProfiles(): Promise<Record<string, unknown>> {
      const client = this.ensureRadarr();
      try {
        const [profiles, rootFolders] = await Promise.all([
          client.getQualityProfiles(),
          client.getRootFolders(),
        ]);
        return {
          success: true,
          qualityProfiles: profiles.map((p) => ({
            id: p.id,
            name: p.name,
            upgradeAllowed: p.upgradeAllowed,
          })),
          rootFolders: rootFolders.map((r) => ({
            id: r.id,
            path: r.path,
            accessible: r.accessible,
            freeSpace: r.freeSpace,
          })),
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          success: false,
          error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error),
        };
      }
    }
  • Schema definition for 'radarr_get_profiles' tool with name, description, and empty input schema.
    {
      name: "radarr_get_profiles",
      description: "Get Radarr quality profiles and root folders (needed before adding movies)",
      inputSchema: { type: "object" as const, properties: {} },
    },
  • Registration of 'radarr_get_profiles' tool in the tool registry, delegating to arrFunctions.radarrGetProfiles().
    registry.register("radarr_get_profiles", () =>
      arrFunctions.radarrGetProfiles().then(wrapResponse)
    );
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 that the tool retrieves data without side effects, but does not elaborate on authentication, rate limits, or data structure. A score of 3 is adequate for a simple read operation.

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 a single sentence with 14 words, no waste, and the key action is front-loaded. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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

No output schema is provided, and the description does not describe the return format (e.g., list of profiles with IDs and names). For a simple retrieval tool, this is acceptable but could be improved for clarity.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema has zero parameters, and the description correctly does not mention any. With 100% schema coverage and no parameters, the baseline of 4 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 tool gets Radarr quality profiles and root folders, with a specific verb and resource. It also explains the purpose (needed before adding movies), distinguishing it from sibling tools like radarr_add_movie.

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 explicitly says 'needed before adding movies', providing clear context for when to use this tool. However, it does not mention alternatives or when not to use it.

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