create_queue_grab_bulk

Idempotent

Grab multiple queued downloads at once by sending a bulk request to Sonarr's queue API, using the matching GET or schema endpoint to build the payload.

Instructions

Create QueueAction.

POST /api/v3/queue/grab/bulk

Args: body: Request payload. Read the matching GET or the /schema endpoint first to see the fields this resource expects.

C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate this is a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and idempotent (idempotentHint=true), so the description does not contradict them. It adds a hint to fetch the schema first, which is useful, but it does not disclose side effects such as initiating downloads or what happens to the queue. Given the annotations cover the safety profile, this is adequate but not rich.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is very short and to the point, with the verb front-loaded and the endpoint and arg hint in a clear structure. It wastes no words, but the brevity borders on under-specification; still, it earns a 4 for being concise and well-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?

For a write operation with an open body and no schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what a QueueAction is, what bulk grabbing entails, or how it differs from single grabs. The output schema exists so return format is not needed, but the agent still lacks critical context about the operation's semantics and payload requirements. The pointer to schema helps but is not sufficient.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The schema has one 'body' parameter with additionalProperties true and 0% description coverage, so the description carries the burden of explaining the payload. It only says 'Request payload' and tells the agent to read the GET or /schema endpoint for fields, which is a pointer but not actual semantic detail. It does not compensate for the lack of schema documentation, though the pointer is a helpful strategy.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific action ('Create QueueAction') and gives the HTTP endpoint, so an agent can tell it is a creation operation for grabbing queue items in bulk. It is not a tautology, but the term 'QueueAction' is somewhat ambiguous without further context; the name and endpoint help distinguish it from single-item operations like create_queue_grab_by_id.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The only guidance is to read the matching GET or /schema endpoint first, which addresses how to construct the body but not when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of bulk vs single grabs, or any condition for choosing this over create_queue_grab_by_id or other queue-related operations. The usage context is left to the agent to infer.

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