League Loom

Get Available Players (Free Agents / Waivers)

fantasy_get_available_players

Read-onlyIdempotent

Browse players you can ADD in ONE league (free agents + waivers), best first: THE waiver/pickup tool. Excludes rostered players: for a specific named player use fantasy_get_player_data; for waiver ideas across ALL leagues at once, fantasy_get_weekly_digest has a top add per league. ESPN: % owned, season + projected points. Sleeper: every player not rostered, by relevance rank. Fantrax: points, ownership and ADP in publicly viewable leagues, otherwise an ADP-backed fallback.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover read-only/idempotent/no-destruction, so the bar is lower; the description adds provider-specific behavior beyond them (ESPN % owned + season/projected points, Sleeper relevance rank, Fantrax public-league ownership/ADP with an ADP-backed fallback). It does not mention pagination, result caps, or what happens on a failed provider lookup, keeping it off a 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the core purpose and the 'THE waiver/pickup tool' signal, then layers alternatives and provider caveats efficiently in one paragraph. Slightly dense with ALL-CAPS emphasis and provider detail that borders on over-stuffing, but every sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema exists and the tool has 11 params plus nested credentials, but the description covers the selection alternatives, the exclusion rule, and per-provider return semantics. Remaining gaps are minor (pagination/limits are already in the schema's limit param).

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% across 11 parameters, so the schema already carries parameter meaning. The description reinforces default ordering per provider (ESPN % owned, Sleeper relevance rank) but adds no syntax, format, or constraint detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Browse players you can ADD in ONE league (free agents + waivers)') with explicit scope and ordering ('best first'). It also names the sibling it is not (fantasy_get_player_data) and a complementary sibling (fantasy_get_weekly_digest), so it is distinguishable without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly routes the agent: use fantasy_get_player_data for a specific named player, fantasy_get_weekly_digest for waiver ideas across ALL leagues. It also states the exclusion ('Excludes rostered players'), which is the key when-not condition for a pickup tool.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
