Get Fantasy Team Rosters

fantasy_get_rosters
Read-onlyIdempotent

Every team's roster: players, positions, slot/status, injury evidence and lineup locks (lineupContext/lineupLock); team_query limits it to ONE team ("my roster"). Fantrax name resolution needs sport. For your roster + standing + matchup in one call, use fantasy_get_my_team.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds provider-specific behavioral context that annotations cannot: Fantrax name resolution requires sport, and Fantrax has no owner data so team_query is mandatory there while ESPN/Sleeper auto-detect. No return-format or pagination detail, but for a read tool this is solid added context.

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?

Three compact, front-loaded sentences with no filler – roster contents first, then scoping, then the routing alternative. Dense and information-bearing throughout, though the parenthetical '(lineupContext/lineupLock)' is field jargon that slightly interrupts flow.

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

Completeness5/5

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

There is no output schema, so the description carries the burden of describing the payload, and it does: it names the roster fields returned. With 9 unrequired params and complex multi-provider behavior, the description still tells the agent enough to call it correctly without guessing.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all nine parameters including provider defaulting and credential requirements; baseline is 3. The description's 'team_query limits it to ONE team' and 'Fantrax name resolution needs sport' largely restate what the schema descriptions already state, adding little beyond them.

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?

Opens with a specific verb+resource ('Every team's roster') and enumerates the returned fields (players, positions, slot/status, injury evidence, lineup locks). It explicitly differentiates from the closest sibling, fantasy_get_my_team, so an agent can route correctly without opening either 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?

States the scoping condition (team_query limits the result to ONE team / 'my roster') and names the alternative with its condition: 'For your roster + standing + matchup in one call, use fantasy_get_my_team.' Both when-to-use and when-to-use-something-else are covered.

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