Get Recent League Transactions

fantasy_get_transactions
Read-onlyIdempotent

Recent league moves (adds, drops, waiver claims, trades), newest first: "did my waiver claim go through?", "what trades happened?". Sleeper: per week, with FAAB bids. ESPN: activity feed (trade legs may be partial). Fantrax: publicly viewable leagues, or with a saved session cookie.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), the description discloses per-provider behavior: Sleeper returns per-week results with FAAB bids, ESPN returns an activity feed where trade legs 'may be partial', and Fantrax requires a publicly viewable league or a saved session cookie — real auth and data-completeness caveats an agent needs. The partial-data warning is especially valuable since it changes how results should be reported.

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 resource and its contents, followed by use-case questions, then terse provider notes — the ordering is right and there is no filler. The provider notes are compressed to near-telegraphic fragments ('Sleeper: per week, with FAAB bids'), which is efficient but slightly harder to parse than full sentences.

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, zero-required read tool with no output schema, the description covers the main risk areas: provider variance, auth requirements, partial ESPN trade legs, and result ordering. It leaves the return structure largely unstated and doesn't mention the limit/response_format knobs, which the schema carries but the agent may want framed in terms of output shape.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds provider-specific parameter semantics: 'week' is meaningful per-week on Sleeper while 'season' is ignored by Fantrax, and 'types' is echoed by the listed moves. It still says nothing about 'limit' or 'response_format' beyond what the schema states.

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 resource ('recent league moves') with an explicit enumeration of what's included (adds, drops, waiver claims, trades) and the ordering ('newest first'). No sibling tool overlaps this surface — fantasy_analyze_trade evaluates a trade, fantasy_get_my_players lists a roster — so an agent can select it without ambiguity.

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 two quoted user questions ('did my waiver claim go through?', 'what trades happened?') give concrete use contexts that map directly to the tool. It stops short of explicit exclusions or pointing to alternatives such as fantasy_analyze_trade for evaluating rather than listing trades, so it falls short of a 5.

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