A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does disclose key traits: it is a discovery/menu tool, defaults to ipl/2026 when both params are omitted, and lists the exact current option values. It stops short of stating read-only safety or response shape, but the default-fallback disclosure is solid.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Purpose and consumer tool are front-loaded well, but the exhaustive enumeration of 25+ country labels plus role/cap/sort lists makes it verbose. Much of that enumeration is arguably redundant with the runtime menu it returns, hurting conciseness.

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

Completeness4/5

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

No output schema, but the description explains what menus are returned, their edition-specific nature, and default fallback, which is enough for an agent to call it and route values onward. Missing only explicit read-only/safety framing for a no-annotation tool.

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 baseline is 3. The description's default note ('Omitted tournament/year default to ipl/2026') largely repeats what the schema already states, adding little parameter detail beyond the structured fields.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Discover Cricbuzz unauctioned-player filters' and 'Returns the edition-specific Country, Role, Cap and Sort menus.' The 'unauctioned'/'upcoming' framing distinguishes it from the broader cricbuzz_auction_options sibling, though the differentiation is implicit rather than explicit.

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?

The closing instruction 'Use each option's exact `value` with auction/upcoming' gives a clear routing hint that this tool feeds the upcoming-auction tool. It lacks an explicit when-not or comparison against cricbuzz_auction_options, so the guidance is contextual but not exhaustive.

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