League table

get_league_table

Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the standings of one league season: one row per team with position, played, wins, draws, losses, goals, points and last-five form, plus expected points and a luck category (how far results run ahead of or behind the underlying performance). view='luck' orders the same rows by over- or under-performance and view='goals' by goals scored; the default orders by points. Without a season, returns the current season.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`view`	No	Row order; default 'classic' (by points)
`league`	Yes	League key as listed by list_leagues, e.g. 'premier' (England), 'spain1', 'brazil1', 'sweden1', 'wgermany1' (women). Not the display name.
`season`	No	Season string as listed by list_leagues: '2026-2027' for winter-calendar leagues, '2026' for summer-calendar leagues (Brazil, Sweden, Norway, Japan…). Omit for the current season. The free tier serves the current and previous season.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/openWorld, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context beyond the annotations: the exact column set returned, what the luck category means (results running ahead of/behind underlying performance), and the free-tier constraint ('serves the current and previous season'). It stops short of describing pagination or result-size behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary return shape before the view and season modifiers. Every clause carries information: the row schema, the two non-default orderings, the default, and the season fallback. No filler.

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-value documentation is not required, and annotations cover the safety profile. Given that, the description supplies everything else an agent needs: what a row contains, the meaning of the luck metric, how each view reorders rows, and the free-tier season limit.

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% and the schema itself defines all three parameters well, so the baseline is 3. The description goes further by explaining what each view ordering actually means ('luck' orders by over-/under-performance, 'goals' by goals scored, default by points) and by clarifying the season-omission behavior, adding semantics beyond the schema's terse field descriptions.

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 and resource ('Returns the standings of one league season') and enumerates the row shape (position, played, wins, draws, losses, goals, points, form, expected points, luck category). This makes it immediately distinguishable from siblings like get_results, get_fixtures, and get_season_projection, which cover different slices of data.

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?

Explains the decision between the three view values (luck, goals, default by points) and states that omitting season yields the current season, plus points the agent at list_leagues for valid league and season keys. It stops short of explicitly saying when to reach for this tool over sibling tools such as get_season_projection or get_track_record, so no exclusion guidance is present.

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