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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety and network profile are covered. The description adds that the target is a specific LiveScore-hosted path (no free-form query needed), but says nothing about the shape or scope of the returned page data. With annotations carrying the safety profile, this is a modest but real addition.

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

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

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the addressing convention (/en/) comes first. It could be marginally clearer, but there is no wasted text.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and annotations cover safety. For a single-parameter path-fetch tool this is close to sufficient, but it leaves the agent without any sense of what a 'linked section' contains or when this differs from other livescore page tools.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the single 'path' parameter is already fully documented in the schema, including the 5-9 lowercase segment constraint and the 'copy a team tab href' instruction. The description only reiterates the '/en/' prefix, which is baseline behavior when the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific resource (LiveScore public team page or a linked section) and how it is addressed (by path following /en/), which is enough to distinguish it from livescore_player, livescore_match, and livescore_competition. It is a clear fetch/resource operation, though the phrasing 'public team page or linked section data' is slightly loose about exactly what is returned.

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

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

There is no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over siblings such as livescore_player, livescore_competition, or the general livescore_search. The only implied condition is 'use a path', which the schema already states. No when/when-not or alternative routing is provided.

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