Standings

get_standings
Read-only

Use when checking where teams rank in their division or conference. Returns points, wins, losses, OT losses, point%, goal differential, goals for/against per game, and 5v5 possession: Corsi%, Fenwick% and expected goals for and against. The possession columns are 5v5 only, so they will not match a goalie's expected goals against, which covers every strength. Defaults to the most recent season with standings. Costs 2 credits.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already cover the read-only/non-destructive safety profile, and the description adds real operational context beyond them: a 2-credit cost, the default to the most recent season with standings, and a caveat that possession columns are 5v5-only and will not reconcile with a goalie's all-situations expected goals.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the usage trigger, then the returned metrics, then the possession caveat and credit cost. Every sentence earns its place, though enumerating return columns overlaps with the output schema.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, yet the description still covers the key semantics an agent needs: defaults, filtering intent, cost, and a subtle correctness caveat. Nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

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%, so league, season, division, and conference are already fully documented, including the enum values and accepted season formats. The description adds only the season-default behavior, which the schema also states, so the baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a clear resource and scope: team rankings within a division or conference, with the specific stats returned. It is distinguishable from get_team_stats in intent, though it never names or contrasts with a sibling explicitly.

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?

"Use when checking where teams rank in their division or conference" gives a concrete triggering condition and the default-season behavior. It stops short of naming alternatives or stating when not to use it (e.g. vs get_team_stats).

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