fetch_groups

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get all groups from a sweepstakes. Use fetch_sweepstakes first to get the sweepstakes_token. Groups are used to organize and segment participants. Use them internally for tool chaining but present only human-readable information (group names, statuses).

fetch_groups

When to use

Get all groups from a sweepstakes. Use fetch_sweepstakes first to get the sweepstakes_token. Groups are used to organize and segment participants. Use them internally for tool chaining but present only human-readable information (group names, statuses).

Pre-calls required

  1. fetch_sweepstakes if the user gave you a sweepstakes name instead of a token

Parameters to validate before calling

  • sweepstakes_token (string, required) — The sweepstakes token (UUID format)

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds context that groups are used for organizing/segmenting participants and that results should only be used internally, which is useful beyond annotations. However, it does not disclose return format or error handling, so the added value is moderate.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The opening sentence is duplicated verbatim in the 'When to use' section, making the description repetitive. The markdown headings help organization, but redundancy reduces overall conciseness.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With no output schema, the description hints at returning group names and statuses but does not specify the exact response structure or pagination. For a simple one-parameter read tool, it gives enough context for basic use, but gaps remain about the full return payload.

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%, and the description repeats the schema's parameter description verbatim ('The sweepstakes token (UUID format)'). No new meaning is added beyond what the input schema already provides.

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 states 'Get all groups from a sweepstakes' with a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like create_group or delete_group by focusing on retrieval of all groups.

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?

It explicitly instructs to call fetch_sweepstakes first to obtain the sweepstakes_token, providing a clear precondition. It also advises using group data internally and presenting only human-readable information, which gives strong usage context. It does not explicitly mention when not to use it, but the pre-call requirement offers sufficient guidance.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools follow a clear resource+action pattern (fetch_* for lists, get_* for single items, create/update/delete for writes), making them distinguishable. A few near-overlaps exist (fetch_billing_transactions vs fetch_wallet_transactions, draw_winners vs schedule_drawing) but the descriptions clarify the boundaries.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names consistently use snake_case verb_noun, with fetch_ for list operations and get_ for single-item retrieval. Some verb variation (add_participant, count_participants, draw_winners, schedule_drawing) deviates from the dominant create/fetch/update/delete pattern but remains predictable and readable.

Tool Count1/5

With 83 tools, this is far beyond a well-scoped server (typically 3-15, with 25+ considered too many). Even though the platform has broad functionality, the sheer number of tools creates significant agent confusion and selection overhead.

Completeness4/5

The sweepstakes domain is thoroughly covered: lifecycle management, participants, groups, rules, drawings, winners, calendar, notes, todos, tickets, surveys, invoices, billing, files, and entry settings. A few minor gaps exist (e.g., no general participant field update, no archive action) but the surface is remarkably complete for its scope.
