Get Fantasy League Info

fantasy_get_league_info
Read-onlyIdempotent

A league's name, teams (with owners on ESPN/Sleeper), scoring, and key settings — also the source of team ids for team_query. Profile-first: the league is inferred when connected, so don't ask for ids.

"Your team" (⭐): ESPN/Sleeper auto-detect it; Fantrax exposes no owner data, so pass team_query. Fantrax league_id may be the full league URL.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sportNoSport, e.g. 'NFL', 'NBA', 'MLB', 'NHL'. Required for ESPN/Sleeper and Fantrax name lookups.
seasonNoSeason year, e.g. 2025. Required for ESPN/Sleeper league discovery; ignored by Fantrax.
providerNoFantasy platform. Optional: defaults to your connected platform ('sleeper').
league_idNoThe platform's league id (Fantrax also accepts the full league URL).
team_queryNoYour team's exact id (preferred) or a unique name fragment; marks it ⭐. Required on Fantrax (no owner data there); ESPN/Sleeper auto-detect. Team ids come from fantasy_get_league_info.
credentialsNoPer-call credentials, only needed WITHOUT a connected profile. Keys: secret_id (Fantrax); espn_s2 + swid (private ESPN leagues); username or user_id (Sleeper discovery); session_cookie / auth_token + write_enabled:true (explicit write opt-in only). Public ESPN leagues and all Sleeper reads need none.
league_queryNoLeague name/id filter, for when the profile has several leagues on the provider.
response_formatNo'markdown' (default) or 'json' (raw payload).markdown

  2. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds meaningful behavioral detail beyond that, including platform-specific behavior for Fantrax (no owner data, full league URL accepted) and ESPN/Sleeper auto-detection of the user's team. This helps set expectations without contradicting the annotations.

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?

The description is dense but front-loaded, with the core purpose stated first and platform details in a secondary paragraph. Some points repeat the schema's parameter descriptions, but the overall structure is efficient and scannable.

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?

For a tool with 8 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential behavioral context: what the tool returns, when to avoid passing ids, how Fantrax differs, and how to mark the user's team. It is complete enough for an agent to invoke the tool correctly, though it does not explain the response envelope.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema covers all 8 parameters with descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds extra meaning by clarifying team_query's role in marking the starred team, the Fantrax league_id URL possibility, and the profile-first inference model. This goes beyond simply restating the schema.

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?

The description clearly states the tool returns a league's name, teams, scoring, and key settings, and highlights that it is the source of team ids for team_query. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like fantasy_get_league_health or fantasy_get_standings, making the purpose specific and actionable.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives practical guidance: the league is inferred when a profile is connected so users should not ask for ids, and Fantrax requires team_query because it exposes no owner data. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or say when not to use this tool, but the context is clear and useful.

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