The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
delete_my_anime_list_item Remove anime from my list ~165
Remove an anime entry from the authenticated user's list. This cannot be undone. Returns `deleted: true` whenever MAL accepts the request — including when the anime was never on the list to begin with, since MAL's own delete endpoint doesn't distinguish the two — so success alone isn't proof something existed; check get_my_anime_list first if you need to confirm. Requires a MyAnimeList login.

get_anime Get anime details ~381
Get full details for one anime by mal_id: synopsis, score, genres, studios, streaming links, external links (official site, social media), alternate title synonyms, and related entries. `moreinfo` is a free-text field MAL editors sometimes add (e.g. suggested viewing order for a franchise) — usually absent. Only carries the single main `trailer` URL — use get_anime_videos for every promo/episode-preview/music video. Obtain the mal_id from search_anime first. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` don't affect this anime itself (its id was requested explicitly) — they filter NSFW entries out of its `relations` list. If Tenrai is unavailable and MAL_CLIENT_ID is set, transparently retries via the official API, which omits `themes`/`demographics`/`producers`/`licensors`/`streaming`/`opening_themes`/`ending_themes`/`trailer`/`favorites`/`moreinfo`/`explicit_genres`/`external` (no equivalent fields there) and ignores `sfw`/`sfw_strict` entirely.

get_anime_episodes Get anime episodes ~89
List an anime's episodes (by mal_id) with titles, air dates and filler/recap flags. Paginated (~100 per page); use `page` for long-running series. Get the mal_id from search_anime.

get_anime_genres Get anime genres ~212
List anime genres/themes/demographics with their MAL IDs. Use this to discover the numeric IDs that the `genres` parameter of search_anime expects. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` drop the adult (and, for sfw_strict, Ecchi) genres from the list itself.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

No examples provided.
get_anime_interest_stacks Get interest stacks containing an anime ~438
List the public MyAnimeList Interest Stacks that include a given anime (by mal_id) — useful for 'what do people group this with' and as a jumping-off point for recommendations rooted in human curation rather than vote counts. Get the mal_id from search_anime. Returns stack metadata only; pass a stack's own mal_id to get_interest_stack for its entries. No official-API fallback exists for this tool — it always needs Tenrai itself to be reachable.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| challenges | string | – | Filter by challenge stacks (watch-along style lists). 'true' includes them alongside the rest, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively those. |
| id | integer | yes | MyAnimeList numeric ID. |
| limit | integer | – | Max results per page (1-100). |
| official | string | – | Filter by official MAL-editorial stacks. 'true' includes them alongside the rest, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively those. |
| order_by | string | – | Field to order by. Defaults to created_at (newest stacks first). |
| page | integer | – | 1-based page number for pagination (1-20000). |
| sfw | boolean | – | If true, exclude adult/explicit-rated entries (R+ Mild Nudity and up). Defaults to false (no filtering). Note: this alone still allows mainstream, safely-rated shows tagged with the Ecchi genre (fans… |
| sfw_strict | boolean | – | If true, exclude adult/explicit-rated entries AND anything tagged with the Ecchi genre, even otherwise-mainstream/safely-rated shows. Stricter than `sfw` alone. Defaults to false. |
| sort | string | – | Sort direction. Only takes effect together with `order_by`; ignored on its own. |
| spoilers | string | – | Filter by stacks flagged as containing spoilers. 'true' includes them alongside the rest, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively those. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

get_anime_news Get anime news ~262
List recent news articles about an anime (by mal_id): headline, date, author and excerpt. Useful for 'what's new / any announcements' questions. Get the mal_id from search_anime. Use get_news instead for a site-wide feed not tied to one anime. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` filter out articles for an NSFW/adult-adjacent anime — verified live this can cut the result down sharply (not necessarily to zero) rather than being a no-op.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

get_anime_recommendations Get anime recommendations ~300
Get community recommendations for anime similar to the given mal_id, ordered by votes and capped at the top 25 (no pagination). Get the mal_id from search_anime. Use get_top_anime instead for a global popularity/score ranking not tied to one title, or get_recent_anime_recommendations for a site-wide feed of recommendation pairs not tied to this title either. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` filter NSFW entries out of the recommendation list itself. If Tenrai is unavailable and MAL_CLIENT_ID is set, transparently retries via the official API's own recommendations field (same output shape, but at most 10 entries, ordering may differ from Tenrai's, and `sfw`/`sfw_strict` are ignored entirely).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | integer | yes | MyAnimeList numeric ID. |

get_anime_reviews Get anime reviews ~323
Get user reviews for one anime (by mal_id): review text (truncated to 1200 characters), score, spoiler/preliminary flags, episodes watched at review time (`episodes_watched`, not `chapters_read` — that field is manga-only), and community reaction counts. `limit` (default 5) caps how many of the fetched page's reviews come back — it does not itself fetch further pages, use `page` for Tenrai's own ~20-per-page listing. `sort`/`preliminary`/`spoilers`/`sentiment` filter/order the underlying set before that cap is applied. Get the mal_id from search_anime.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | integer | yes | MyAnimeList numeric ID. |
| limit | integer | – | How many of the page's reviews to return (1-20; a page holds 20). |
| page | integer | – | 1-based page number for pagination (1-20000). |
| preliminary | string | – | Filter by preliminary. 'true' includes them alongside other reviews, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively preliminary reviews. |
| sentiment | string | – | Restrict to reviews with this overall sentiment tag. Omit for all sentiments. |
| sort | string | – | Sort order. Defaults to most_helpful (Tenrai's own default) when omitted. |
| spoilers | string | – | Filter by spoiler. 'true' includes them alongside other reviews, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively spoiler reviews. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | object | yes | – |
| reviews | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_anime_schedule Get broadcast schedule ~330
Get the anime broadcast schedule (air times in JST), optionally for a single weekday (or the `unknown`/`other` buckets Tenrai uses for shows with no fixed weekly slot). `broadcast` is only present for currently-airing shows. Defaults to 25 results if `limit` is omitted; use `page` for further results.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | string | – | Weekday to filter by, or `unknown`/`other` for shows with no fixed weekly slot. Omit for the whole week. |
| kids | boolean | – | If true, exclude entries tagged as children's/kids content. Defaults to false. |
| limit | integer | – | Max results per page (1-100). |
| page | integer | – | 1-based page number for pagination (1-20000). |

| sfw_strict | boolean | – | If true, exclude adult/explicit-rated entries AND anything tagged with the Ecchi genre, even otherwise-mainstream/safely-rated shows. Stricter than `sfw` alone. Defaults to false. |
| unapproved | string | – | Entries not yet approved by MAL's moderators: 'true' also includes them, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively unapproved entries. |

get_anime_staff Get anime staff ~68
List the production staff of an anime (by mal_id) — director, composer, etc. — with their roles. Complements get_anime_characters (which covers voice actors). Get the mal_id from search_anime.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

get_anime_statistics Get anime statistics ~89
Get watch-status counts (watching/completed/…) and the score distribution for an anime by mal_id. Get the mal_id from search_anime. If Tenrai is unavailable and MAL_CLIENT_ID is set, transparently retries via the official API, which omits the score distribution (`scores`) entirely — no equivalent field there.

get_anime_videos Get anime videos ~107
List an anime's promotional videos (PVs/trailers), episode preview clips, and music videos (openings/endings), each with a title, watch URL, thumbnail, and view/like counts where available. This is richer than get_anime's single `trailer` field — use this instead when the caller wants every promo, not just the main one. Get the mal_id from search_anime.

get_character Get character details ~220
Get full details for one character by mal_id: bio, the anime/manga they appear in, and their voice actors. Obtain the mal_id from search_characters or get_anime_characters. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` filter NSFW/adult-adjacent titles out of the character's own anime/manga appearance lists (verified live) rather than affecting the character itself.

get_interest_stack Get one interest stack ~278
Get one MyAnimeList Interest Stack by mal_id, with its entries in the curator's own order — each carrying that curator's score (`author_score`) and note. Obtain the stack's mal_id from get_interest_stacks, get_anime_interest_stacks or get_manga_interest_stacks. Every entry's own `mal_id` chains into get_anime or get_manga (the stack's `stack_type` says which). `sfw`/`sfw_strict` filter NSFW entries out of the entry list rather than hiding the stack itself. No official-API fallback exists for this tool — it always needs Tenrai itself to be reachable.

get_interest_stacks Browse interest stacks ~511
Browse or search MyAnimeList Interest Stacks: themed anime/manga lists curated by real users, each entry carrying the curator's own score and note. Use this for taste- or mood-shaped requests ('something melancholy', 'cozy slice-of-life') where a ranking or a genre filter is the wrong instrument — get_top_anime answers 'what is best', this answers 'what goes together'. Returns stack metadata only; pass a stack's mal_id to get_interest_stack for its actual entries. For stacks containing one specific title, use get_anime_interest_stacks/get_manga_interest_stacks instead. No official-API fallback exists for this tool — it always needs Tenrai itself to be reachable.

Obtain the mal_id from search_manga first. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` don't affect this manga itself (its id was requested explicitly) — they filter NSFW entries out of its `relations` list. If Tenrai is unavailable and MAL_CLIENT_ID is set, transparently retries via the official API, which omits `themes`/`demographics`/`favorites`/`moreinfo`/`explicit_genres`/`external` (no equivalent fields there) and ignores `sfw`/`sfw_strict` entirely.

get_manga_genres Get manga genres ~212
List manga genres/themes/demographics with their MAL IDs. Use this to discover the numeric IDs that the `genres` parameter of search_manga expects. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` drop the adult (and, for sfw_strict, Ecchi) genres from the list itself.

get_manga_interest_stacks Get interest stacks containing a manga ~420
List the public MyAnimeList Interest Stacks that include a given manga (by mal_id). The manga counterpart of get_anime_interest_stacks. Get the mal_id from search_manga. Returns stack metadata only; pass a stack's own mal_id to get_interest_stack for its entries. No official-API fallback exists for this tool — it always needs Tenrai itself to be reachable.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| challenges | string | – | Filter by challenge stacks (watch-along style lists). 'true' includes them alongside the rest, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively those. |
| id | integer | yes | MyAnimeList numeric ID. |
| limit | integer | – | Max results per page (1-100). |

get_manga_news Get manga news ~262
List recent news articles about a manga (by mal_id): headline, date, author and excerpt. Useful for 'what's new / any announcements' questions. Get the mal_id from search_manga. Use get_news instead for a site-wide feed not tied to one manga. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` filter out articles for an NSFW/adult-adjacent manga — verified live this can cut the result down sharply (not necessarily to zero) rather than being a no-op.

get_manga_recommendations Get manga recommendations ~300
Get community recommendations for manga similar to the given mal_id, ordered by votes and capped at the top 25 (no pagination). Get the mal_id from search_manga. Use get_top_manga instead for a global popularity/score ranking not tied to one title, or get_recent_manga_recommendations for a site-wide feed of recommendation pairs not tied to this title either. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` filter NSFW entries out of the recommendation list itself. If Tenrai is unavailable and MAL_CLIENT_ID is set, transparently retries via the official API's own recommendations field (same output shape, but at most 10 entries, ordering may differ from Tenrai's, and `sfw`/`sfw_strict` are ignored entirely).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

get_manga_reviews Get manga reviews ~323
Get user reviews for one manga (by mal_id): review text (truncated to 1200 characters), score, spoiler/preliminary flags, chapters read at review time (`chapters_read`, not `episodes_watched` — that field is anime-only), and community reaction counts. `limit` (default 5) caps how many of the fetched page's reviews come back — it does not itself fetch further pages, use `page` for Tenrai's own ~20-per-page listing. `sort`/`preliminary`/`spoilers`/`sentiment` filter/order the underlying set before that cap is applied. Get the mal_id from search_manga.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | integer | yes | MyAnimeList numeric ID. |
| limit | integer | – | How many of the page's reviews to return (1-20; a page holds 20). |
| page | integer | – | 1-based page number for pagination (1-20000). |
| preliminary | string | – | Filter by preliminary. 'true' includes them alongside other reviews, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively preliminary reviews. |
| sentiment | string | – | Restrict to reviews with this overall sentiment tag. Omit for all sentiments. |
| sort | string | – | Sort order. Defaults to most_helpful (Tenrai's own default) when omitted. |
| spoilers | string | – | Filter by spoiler. 'true' includes them alongside other reviews, 'false' (default) excludes them, 'only' returns exclusively spoiler reviews. |

get_manga_statistics Get manga statistics ~78
Get read-status counts (reading/completed/…) and the score distribution for a manga by mal_id. Get the mal_id from search_manga. Unlike get_anime_statistics, no official-API fallback exists for this tool — it always needs Tenrai itself to be reachable.

get_my_user_info Get my MAL profile ~58
Get the logged-in user's MyAnimeList profile and anime watch-status statistics. Requires a MyAnimeList login. Anime-only — the official API has no manga statistics field at all, and there is no tool for a user's manga read stats.

get_news Get anime/manga news ~304
List recent MyAnimeList news articles site-wide (headline, date, author, excerpt) — not tied to one anime or manga. Use `q` to search by keyword or `tag` to filter by topic tag. Use get_anime_news/get_manga_news instead for news about one specific anime/manga by mal_id. `sfw`/`sfw_strict` drop articles about adult content.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Max results per page (1-100). |
| page | integer | – | 1-based page number for pagination (1-20000). |
| q | string | – | Search query, e.g. a keyword or title. Verified live to search beyond just the headline (a real, unfamiliar-sounding title can still match) — don't assume a result's title visibly contains the term. |

get_person Get person details ~396
Get full details for one person by mal_id: bio, their anime/manga staff-credit lists, and their voiced roles. Staff credits are capped at the first 200 (only an extreme outlier hits that — a prolific sound director can have 500+; a well-known director sits under 100); when the cap bites, the response says so via `credits_truncated` plus `total_anime_credits`/`total_manga_credits`, and `full_credits: true` returns every entry. `voice_roles` is separately capped at the first 50, in whatever order the upstream API returns them (not necessarily their most notable roles). Obtain the mal_id from search_people, or from get_character's voice_actors (which include each actor's mal_id — get_anime_characters' voice_actors are names only, with no id). `sfw`/`sfw_strict` filter NSFW/adult-adjacent titles out of the person's own anime/manga credit lists (verified live) rather than affecting the person themselves.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
