patch_movies_subtitles

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

Annotations already supply idempotent and non-destructive hints. The description adds the download semantics and the HTTP method, but does not disclose side effects, prerequisites, or response behavior. No contradiction with annotations is present.

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?

Compact and logically structured: one-sentence purpose, explicit endpoint, then an argument list. The minor grammar issue and the partially redundant route line do not significantly hurt usability.

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?

With annotations, an output schema, and a basic parameter list, an agent can likely invoke this tool, but the description is thin on semantic context and offers no differentiation among the many subtitle-related sibling tools. It is adequate, not comprehensive.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the Args section partially compensates by adding 'Movie ID', 'Language code2', and the true/false-as-string constraint for forced and hi. However, forced and hi semantics are mostly restatements, and accepted value formats are not fully specified.

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?

States a concrete action ('Download') and resource ('movie subtitles'), and names the PATCH endpoint. It does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like patch_subtitles or create_movies_subtitles, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

Provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_movies_subtitles, delete_movies_subtitles, or patch_episodes_subtitles. There are no exclusions, prerequisites, or decision rules.

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