Stability & Change Management23
- Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

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 →
get_tv_schedule ~75
Check what's broadcasting on a specific date and country (e.g., 'US', 'GB'). Returns shows, times, and channels.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (default "US") |
| date | string | – | Date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default: today) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_tv_show ~103
Full TVmaze record for ONE TV series by its numeric TVmaze show id — the episode list with air dates, plus network, status and rating. The id is an internal TVmaze number, so resolve it with search_tv_shows first and pass what that returns; when the caller names the show rather than an id, search_tv_shows answers directly.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | number | yes | TVmaze show ID (e.g., 1 for "Under the Dome") |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_movies ~65
Search for movies by title or keyword. Returns title, director, release date, genre, description, and artwork.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | number | – | Number of results to return (1-25, default 10) |
| query | string | yes | Movie title or keyword to search for |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_tv_shows ~143
Look up a TV SERIES BY NAME on TVmaze and get its facts in one call — "tell me about the TV show Breaking Bad", "when did The Sopranos air", "how was Chernobyl rated", "what network was Mad Men on", "is The Bear still running". Returns the show name, genres, premiere and end dates, status (Running/Ended), rating, network, summary and images for each match. THE entry point for a named series: it takes the TITLE directly, so a show known by name is answered here without resolving an id first.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | TV show name or keyword to search for |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
