Get Schedule, Strength of Schedule, and Playoff Picture

fantasy_get_schedule
Read-onlyIdempotent

Full-season schedule, strength of schedule, and a DETERMINISTIC playoff picture (seeds, clinched/eliminated, magic numbers: exact win/loss math, not simulation, so report clinches as guarantees). For "am I making the playoffs", "who's clinched", "who has the easier schedule", rest-of-season outlook; view picks a section. ESPN/Sleeper: full. Fantrax: H2H schedule and partial SoS, no clinch math; leagues that aren't publicly viewable get pairings without scores or results.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description adds substantial value beyond them: the playoff picture is deterministic (report clinches as guarantees, not simulations) and provider behavior varies sharply (ESPN/Sleeper full vs Fantrax H2H-only, no clinch math, partial SoS; non-public leagues return pairings without scores). These are exactly the behavioral caveats an agent needs before summarizing results.

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-loaded with the core capability and the determinism caveat, then usage triggers, then provider caveats. It is dense with parentheticals and semicolons but nearly every clause carries information; only mild tightening is possible.

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 10-parameter, no-output-schema tool it covers the risky areas well: provider divergence, credential-less public reads (in schema), and what sections the response contains. It does not describe return shape/structure for the schedule vs strength vs playoff sections, a minor gap since no output schema exists.

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% (view, provider, credentials, team_query all documented inline), so the schema carries parameter meaning. The description reinforces that 'view' selects a section but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

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+resource (full-season schedule) plus the two additional artifacts it produces (strength of schedule, deterministic playoff picture with seeds/clinch/magic numbers), which cleanly separates it from siblings like fantasy_get_matchups and fantasy_get_standings. The parenthetical 'exact win/loss math, not simulation' pins down the semantics an agent needs.

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?

Gives concrete trigger phrases ('am I making the playoffs', 'who's clinched', 'who has the easier schedule', rest-of-season outlook) that map directly to usage, and explains that 'view' selects the section. It stops short of explicit when-not-to-use guidance or naming sibling tools for adjacent questions.

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