sofascore_player_transfers

Read-only

Returns a SofaScore player's transfer history (clubs moved from and to, date, fee, numeric type code), newest first. Use it for career moves of one player id. An empty list is valid for a player who never changed clubs, while not found means SofaScore has no transfer record (seen for ice hockey and baseball players); type_code values are SofaScore's own opaque codes.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only cover readOnly and openWorld. The description adds genuinely useful behavior: newest-first ordering, that an empty list is a valid result for a player who never transferred, that not-found means SofaScore has no record (seen for hockey/baseball), and that type_code is opaque. These edge-case semantics go well beyond the annotations.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the return payload before the usage cue and edge cases. The dense parenthetical field list and edge-case clause both earn their place; nothing is redundant.

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 values need no elaboration. The description still covers scope, ordering, and the empty-vs-not-found distinction, leaving nothing an agent needs to call it correctly unstated.

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 description coverage is 100% and the single 'id' parameter is fully documented with an example (855833). The description reinforces 'one player id' but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so the 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?

States a specific verb ('Returns'), the resource ('SofaScore player's transfer history'), the fields returned (clubs from/to, date, fee, type code), and the ordering ('newest first'). This distinguishes it from the sibling sofascore_team_transfers without opening either schema.

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?

'Use it for career moves of one player id' gives a clear condition tied to the player-scoped use case, implicitly routing team-wide queries elsewhere. It does not explicitly name the alternative (sofascore_team_transfers), so it falls short of a full when/when-not statement.

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