Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This is a straightforward search/query function that retrieves information from the TMDB (The Movie Database) API. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, or delete data, and does not execute arbitrary code or trigger financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—worst case, an agent performs excessive searches, which would be a rate-limiting or resource issue rather than a security breach.
