C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered and the bar is lower. The description adds only that rows are one-per-player with overall and three-point splits, which is largely return-shape information already carried by the output schema, and says nothing about defaults, scope limits, or whether data is live or historical.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The core sentence is repeated verbatim, roughly doubling length with zero added information, and the opening 'Get Returns' is a garbled leftover from merging a verb and the description. The single unique sentence is reasonably front-loaded but the duplication is a clear defect.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With full schema documentation, an output schema, and read-only annotations, most structural information is available elsewhere, so the description only needs to add scope and routing. It supplies the row granularity but omits any guidance on defaults usage or how it differs from the many adjacent player-shooting tools.

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%, with each of the four optional parameters (season, per_mode, league_id, season_type) documented including defaults and the league_id verification caveat. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 names a concrete verb (get) and a specific resource (the league's player shooting table), and describes the result shape as one row per player with overall and three-point splits, which lets an agent distinguish it from team- and opponent-oriented siblings. It loses a point because the distinction from per-player siblings such as nba_player_dash_pt_shots is never stated.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no mention of alternatives despite many closely related player shooting tools in the sibling set. The agent must guess between this table and the dashboard/shot-chart variants on its own.

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