list_sync_collection_minimal_movies

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

Annotations already provide the safety profile (read-only, idempotent, non-destructive). The description adds only 'minimal' and the endpoint, both largely reflected in the tool name, and does not disclose pagination, field omissions, authentication, or output behavior.

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 core sentence is short and front-loaded, and there is no filler. However, the endpoint line repeats the tool name and the Args line repeats schema information, so not every sentence earns its place.

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 one-parameter read-only tool with an output schema, much of the safety and return context is covered elsewhere. Yet the description leaves 'minimal' undefined and does not say how available_on should be formatted or when to prefer this over list_sync_collection_movies.

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?

The only parameter is documented in the schema as optional string 'available_on'; the description merely restates it as a 'Query parameter' without explaining accepted values or meaning. With 0% schema description coverage, this fails to compensate.

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 clear verb and resource: it retrieves the minimal movie collection. It does not, however, define what 'minimal' means or explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling list_sync_collection_movies, so it is not 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?

No when-to-use guidance is given; the description never mentions alternatives, exclusions, or the relationship to list_sync_collection_movies or full collection endpoints. The agent must infer the intended use from the tool name alone.

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