cricinfo_teams

Fetch Cricinfo's team directory as structured JSON, grouped by category. Each team includes ID, name, slug, abbreviation, country, logo URL, primary color, and national-side flag.

Instructions

List Cricinfo teams. Returns Cricinfo's team directory with no parameters, organised into titled groups such as popular international teams. Each team has its id, name, slug, abbreviation, country, logo URL and primary colour where Cricinfo gives them, and whether it is a national side.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden, and it delivers: a parameterless read, results organized into titled groups, and the honest caveat 'where Cricinfo gives them' signalling that some fields may be absent. It stops short of describing pagination or result size.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the core action, then a compact enumeration of the returned fields that is justified because no output schema exists. Every clause adds information, though the field list is dense.

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?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description compensates well by enumerating team fields (id, name, slug, abbreviation, country, logo, colour, national-side flag) and the group structure. Minor gaps remain around total result size and ordering.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly confirms that no parameters are needed, avoiding confusion about required inputs.

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 ('List Cricinfo teams') and immediately clarifies scope: a parameterless team directory. It implicitly distinguishes itself from the detail-oriented sibling cricinfo_team, though it never names it explicitly.

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?

The description notes there are 'no parameters', which hints at a browse-style call, but gives no explicit when-to-use guidance and names no alternative for agents that already have a team id.

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