get_discover_tv_genre_by_genre_id

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so safety behavior is covered. The description adds that results are TV shows filtered by genre via a GET endpoint, but it does not disclose additional behavioral details such as pagination behavior or response shape. No contradiction with annotations exists.

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 short and front-loaded with the core purpose. The Args section is redundant with the schema but compact and adds parameter-location context, so there is minimal wasted text.

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?

For a simple read-only discovery endpoint with annotations and an output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It names all parameters and the endpoint, but it omits important context such as how genre_id values are sourced and what language format is expected, leaving some ambiguity for an agent.

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 description carries the burden of explaining parameters. It only labels genre_id, page, and language as path or query parameters, which the schema does not state, but it fails to explain what values are valid, such as the format expected for genre_id or language.

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 states a specific action and resource: 'Discover TV shows by genre.' The endpoint path further clarifies that this is the TV genre discovery endpoint, distinguishing it from siblings like get_discover_movies_genre_by_genre_id and the TV language/network discovery tools.

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 provides no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives. It does not mention that list_discover_tv or get_discover_tv_language_by_language should be used for other discovery contexts, nor does it mention how to obtain a valid genre_id.

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