Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It does reveal the default-to-latest behavior, which is real behavioral information, but says nothing about the response shape, size or pagination of commentary, or what happens with an invalid or unknown match_id. For a tool with zero annotation coverage this is thin.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences with no filler, and the core purpose is front-loaded ahead of the defaulting rule. It is efficient, though the opening is a bare noun phrase with no verb, making it slightly less assertive than it could be.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-optional-parameter read tool with no output schema, the definition covers the essentials of what it returns and how the argument defaults. The gaps — match_id format/provenance and any indication of commentary volume — are the ones an agent would actually hit when calling it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the single parameter has no schema description, so the description must compensate — and it partly does by explaining that omitting match_id selects the most recent match. It does not say what form a match_id takes (numeric, UUID, slug) or where to obtain one, which is the main remaining ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description names a specific resource and content type: minute-by-minute commentary for a match. This distinguishes it from siblings like get_fixtures or get_table, though it never explicitly contrasts itself with them. The purpose is clear but the 'report' framing in the name is only loosely reconciled with 'commentary'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
One concrete usage rule is given: omit match_id to get the most recent match. That is genuinely useful defaulting guidance. However, there is no statement of when to prefer this over adjacent tools such as get_tactical_briefing or get_my_form_report, and no prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
