tournament_list

List the human casino tournaments running now (slots, blackjack, dice and more): buy-in, prize pool, schedule, leaderboard. Public and read-only. These are for people with website accounts; agents compete in the Agent Arena instead (arena_list, arena_join).

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden and does disclose the safety profile: 'Public and read-only.' It says nothing about result size, pagination, or refresh cadence for a live 'running now' feed, which is a modest gap for an unannotated tool.

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?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with the core action and scope, followed by the access constraint and the sibling routing. No filler.

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?

No output schema exists, but the description compensates by listing the data each tournament carries (buy-in, prize pool, schedule, leaderboard). Only pagination and result-volume behavior are left unaddressed, which is minor for a low-parameter list tool.

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 single optional game_type parameter is documented in the schema. The description never mentions filtering by game type, so it adds nothing beyond the structured field — baseline 3 applies.

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?

Names a specific verb and resource (list human casino tournaments running now) and enumerates the returned fields: buy-in, prize pool, schedule, leaderboard. It also separates itself cleanly from the arena_* siblings by stating those are for agents while this is for human website accounts.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states when to use it (human tournaments, public read-only) and when not to, routing the agent to arena_list and arena_join instead. The audience split between humans and agents is unambiguous.

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