Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

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_news Read the news wire ~167
Read the latest Anime News Network stories from their RSS feeds. 'all' mixes news, reviews and features; 'news' and 'reviews' are the narrower feeds. Filter with 'category' to keep only stories the feed tags a given way, such as Manga or Anime. The feed is the whole window available: there is no way to reach older stories through this tool. When you repeat a story, cite Anime News Network and link the article.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Keep only items tagged this way, matched case-insensitively. |
| edition | string | – | Regional edition. They differ mostly in release and licensing coverage. |
| feed | string | – | Which feed to read. 'all' is the busiest. |
| limit | integer | – | How many stories to return. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| edition | string | yes | – |
| feed | string | yes | – |
| items | array | yes | – |
| notes | array | yes | – |
| total_available | integer | yes | Items in the feed after 'category' was applied, before 'limit'. |
No examples provided.
get_title Read an encyclopedia entry ~186
Read one Anime News Network encyclopedia entry by id. Get the id and kind from search_titles first. Sections are opt-in because a full record is very large: ask only for what you need. 'basic' covers type, vintage, genres, themes, episode count, ratings and the plot summary. Long plot summaries are paginated: when 'truncated' is true, call again with 'offset' set to 'next_offset'.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | integer | yes | Encyclopedia id, from search_titles. |
| kind | string | yes | Which lookup the id belongs to, from search_titles. |
| max_chars | integer | – | Character budget for the plot summary. |
| offset | integer | – | Where to resume the plot summary. |
| sections | array | – | Which parts to return. 'basic' is usually enough. Adding 'cast' or 'news' can multiply the size of the answer. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| alt_titles | array | yes | – |
| cast | array | – | – |
| cast_languages | array | – | Every language the site records a cast in, with its full credit count, so a trimmed 'cast' still shows what exists. Ask again with a narrower question if a language you need was cut. |
| companies | array | – | – |
| ending_themes | array | yes | – |
| episode_count | – | yes | – |
| episodes | array | – | – |

list_recent List recent or browse alphabetically ~150
List what was added to the Anime News Network encyclopedia most recently: anime, manga, people or companies. Pass 'starts_with' to browse titles alphabetically instead, which only applies to anime and manga. Rows carry an id you can pass to get_title when the kind is anime or manga. This is a listing, not a search: use search_titles when you know what you are looking for.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | string | – | Which catalogue to list. |
| limit | integer | – | How many rows to return. |
| offset | integer | – | How many rows to skip, for paging. |
| starts_with | string | – | Single letter. Switches to an alphabetical browse of titles. Anime and manga only. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | string | yes | – |
| mode | string | yes | 'recent' is by date added, 'browse' is alphabetical. |
| next_offset | – | yes | Pass as 'offset' for the next page. Null when the last page came back short. |
| notes | array | yes | – |
| offset | integer | yes | – |
| rows | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
search_titles Search the encyclopedia ~149
Search the Anime News Network encyclopedia for anime and manga by title. Returns one compact row per match: id, kind, type, name, precision and vintage. Use the id and kind with get_title to read the full entry. Matching is on substring, so a short query returns a lot: narrow the query rather than raising 'limit'. This searches titles only. It cannot find an entry from a plot detail, a character or a studio.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | string | – | Restrict results to one kind. The encyclopedia returns both by default. |
| limit | integer | – | How many rows to return. |
| query | string | yes | Title or part of one, for example 'cowboy bebop'. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| notes | array | yes | – |
| query | string | yes | – |
| results | array | yes | – |
| total_available | integer | yes | Matches before 'limit' was applied. Higher than results.length means narrow the query. |
