get_shows_by_id_seasons_by_season

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, covering the safety profile. The description adds no further behavioral context such as pagination, rate limits, or authentication. It does not contradict annotations, so a neutral score is appropriate.

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 highly concise: a one-line purpose, the endpoint, and a short arg list. No wasted words, front-loaded with the key action. It fits the tool's simplicity and is easy to scan.

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 straightforward read tool with an output schema, the description covers the essentials: purpose, endpoint, and parameter meanings. However, it omits potential pagination or limit details for 'all episodes', and the 'extended' parameter remains ambiguous. These are minor gaps given the simple nature of the operation.

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 must compensate. It gives brief definitions: id as 'id/slug of the resource', season as 'Season number', and extended as 'Extended information to include in the response'. The first two are clear, but 'extended' is vague and lacks valid values or format. This is adequate but minimal.

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 'Get all episodes for a single season' with a clear verb, resource, and scope. It is immediately distinguishable from siblings like get_shows_by_id_seasons (which lists seasons) and get_shows_by_id_seasons_by_season_info (which gets season metadata). The endpoint is also shown, reinforcing the purpose.

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?

There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the purpose implies it for retrieving episodes, it does not mention when not to use it or point to siblings. For a tool with many close siblings, this leaves selection ambiguous.

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