chesscom_player_games

Read-only

Get a player’s current Daily Chess games. The service calls Chess.com’s documented Published-Data API serially. This independent service is not affiliated with Chess.com; do not use results for AI training or dataset creation.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint; the description adds that calls go serially to Chess.com's Published-Data API, that the service is independent, and that results must not be used for AI training or dataset creation. These are meaningful operational and policy constraints beyond the annotations, though it still does not discuss rate limits or response size.

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 first sentence delivers the purpose immediately, followed by two compact sentences covering service behavior and legal restrictions. The text is appropriately sized for a simple lookup tool, though the API/legal boilerplate adds some non-usage weight.

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?

For a one-parameter, read-only lookup with a fully covered schema and an output schema, the description supplies the essential scope plus service and policy caveats. It is complete enough to call correctly, though it could be more explicit about alternatives for live or archived games.

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?

There is only one parameter and schema coverage is 100%, with the schema already describing username as the required source username. The description adds no formatting, constraints, or meaning beyond 'a player's,' so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('a player’s current Daily Chess games'), narrowing scope to current Daily games rather than live or archived games. It does not explicitly name sibling alternatives, so differentiation is implicit rather than spelled out.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It implies this is the tool for a player's ongoing Daily Chess games, but gives no explicit when-to-use/when-not guidance and does not route the agent to alternatives for live, archived, or games-to-move requests. The scope is helpful but incomplete as usage guidance.

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