Get Movie Details

tmdb.movies.details
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve comprehensive movie details including cast, crew, trailers, ratings, streaming providers, budget, and revenue by providing a TMDB movie ID.

Instructions

Get full movie details — cast, crew, trailers, ratings, streaming providers, runtime, budget, revenue (TMDB)

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesTMDB movie ID (e.g. 550 for Fight Club, 27205 for Inception)
languageNoISO 639-1 language code (e.g. "en-US"). Default: en-US

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resultNoTool response payload. Shape varies per tool — consult the tool description and inputSchema. May be an object, array, string, or number depending on the upstream provider response.
errorNoPresent only when the call failed. Includes error code, message, request_id, and any provider-specific extras.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and idempotentHint, so the description's addition of what data is returned (cast, crew, etc.) adds moderate value but does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the annotations. No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no redundancy. Every word is meaningful and directly serves the purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the existence of an output schema and the simple nature of the tool (retrieval by ID), the description sufficiently covers what the tool does. It lists key return fields, and the output schema handles the rest.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters. The description merely lists output attributes without adding new parameter information. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate as it does not reduce clarity.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'full movie details' with a specific list of attributes (cast, crew, trailers, ratings, etc.). It distinguishes from sibling tools like tmdb.movies.search or tmdb.movies.discover by emphasizing comprehensive details for a single movie.

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 description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., search, discover, similar). It does not mention any prerequisites, limitations, or when not to use it. Users must infer context 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.
