Batru — Competitive Game Intelligence for AI Agents

recommend_pick

Read-only

Best heroes to pick next against this draft — Dota 2, Deadlock or Marvel Rivals.

Per-game semantics:
- dota2: top 3 picks scored by the CALIBRATED draft model (each with the
  calibrated team win rate after adding that hero); `my_side` applies.
- deadlock / marvel-rivals: ranked by REAL observed pair data (win rate
  vs the enemy heroes, blended with duo rate alongside your picks) — an
  empirical heuristic, not the calibrated model; verify a full 6v6 with
  predict_winrate.

Args:
    game: "dota2", "deadlock", or "marvel-rivals".
    enemy_heroes: Enemy heroes to pick against.
    my_heroes: Heroes your team already has.
    my_side: Dota only — "radiant" (default) or "dire".
    limit: Max recommendations (Deadlock/Marvel; Dota returns top 3).

Report win rates verbatim.

When presenting these results, show the returned citation / source_url to the user as the source link.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The tool has annotations readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds behavioral context by explaining the difference between the calibrated model for Dota and the empirical heuristic for other games, and instructs to report win rates verbatim and show citations. This goes beyond the annotations, which only indicate read-only and open-world hints.

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?

The description is well-structured with clear per-game semantics and a parameter list, but it is somewhat verbose with the long context parameter description and the instruction to report win rates. The core purpose is front-loaded, but the parameter list could be more concise by removing redundant information already in the 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?

The description is complete for a tool with no output schema, as it explains the return values (top 3 for Dota, limit for others, win rates to report) and how to present citations. It also covers cross-game differences and gives a clear call-to-action for verification with predict_winrate, making it fully adequate for an agent to call correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% as every parameter has a description. The description adds value by explaining the meaning of my_side (only for Dota), the limit's behavior (only for Deadlock/Marvel, Dota always returns top 3), and the context parameter's analytics purpose. It clarifies that my_heroes may be empty and reinforces the required nature of game and enemy_heroes, going beyond the schema's basic text.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: recommending the best heroes to pick next against an enemy draft, and explicitly lists the supported games. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by noting that for Deadlock/Marvel Rivals it uses real observed pair data and recommends verifying with predict_winrate, which helps differentiate it from other draft-analysis tools like analyze_draft or get_counters.

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 description provides clear per-game semantics, explaining that Dota uses a calibrated model while other games use an empirical heuristic, and even suggests verifying full 6v6 with predict_winrate. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives beyond predict_winrate, but the context is sufficient for most use cases.

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