C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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. The description adds granularity ('one row per game') and enumerates the box-score columns, but since an output schema exists, that return detail is largely redundant. Nothing about rate limits, data availability, or defaults is disclosed.

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 single sentence is pasted twice verbatim, wasting roughly half the description, and the leading 'Get Returns' is malformed. What remains is front-loaded and readable, but the duplication is a clear structural 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 a full output schema, complete parameter descriptions, and safety annotations, the description does not need to explain return values or parameter formats. It is minimally adequate, but it lacks the usage context an agent needs to pick this over the many team-level dashboard siblings.

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%, so all four parameters (season, team_id, league_id, season_type) are already documented in the schema, including defaults and the 'only 00 is verified' caveat. The description adds no parameter-level 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 specific resource and scope: one team's game log for a season, one row per game, with the exact stat categories returned. It is clearly distinguishable from nba_player_game_logs by the word 'team', though it never names a sibling explicitly. The garbled opening 'Get Returns' slightly muddies the verb.

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 statement of when to use this versus alternatives such as nba_league_game_log or nba_team_dash_by_game_splits, and no exclusions. The only implied guidance is 'for a season, one row per game', which an agent must infer usage from.

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