cricbuzz_auction_seasons

Read-only

Lists every current Cricbuzz auction tournament and edition, its canonical season slug, and the currencies available for that season. Use this before auction options or results to choose a supported tournament, year and currency.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds the useful behavioral fact that the output is a curated, canonical enumeration (valid season slugs and per-season currency sets) meant to constrain later calls, though it says nothing about result size or freshness.

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, zero filler: first sentence defines the output, second defines when to call it. The payload description is front-loaded before the usage instruction.

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 documentation is not the description's burden, yet it still summarizes the key fields an agent needs to chain into auction options/results. For a zero-parameter discovery tool with read-only annotations, nothing necessary for correct invocation is missing.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. Schema coverage is 100% on an empty object, and the description correctly presents the tool as a no-input enumerator.

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 (lists) and resource (current Cricbuzz auction tournaments/editions) plus the payload it returns (season slug, currencies). This clearly separates it from siblings cricbuzz_auction_options and cricbuzz_auction_results, which consume rather than enumerate seasons.

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 instructs 'Use this before auction options or results to choose a supported tournament, year and currency', naming both the alternatives and the prerequisite ordering. An agent knows exactly when to call this versus the downstream auction tools.

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