mlb_discovery

Discover MLB.com sections and Stats API values, including leagues, divisions, game types, filters, and leader categories, to identify supported endpoints and parameters before making MLB data calls.

Instructions

Discover MLB sections and Stats API values. Returns MLB.com's live navigation tree, including hidden nodes labeled with visibility, and the MLB-only value sets for leagues, divisions, game types, roster types, standings types, stat groups, supported stat types, leader categories, MLB Pipeline prospect filters, league-stats hitter positions and player pools, and the observed Baseball Savant leaderboard categories and filters including Expected Statistics and Outs Above Average. Use these values to discover sections and supported filters before calling MLB endpoints.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations and no output schema, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose meaningful behavior: it returns a live navigation tree including hidden nodes labeled with visibility, and enumerates the exact value sets returned. It does not state read-only semantics or response shape/pagination, but the content disclosure is unusually rich for a no-annotation tool.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence, followed by the enumeration that constitutes the tool's actual payload. The list of value sets is long and run-on, but each item legitimately tells the agent what it can discover rather than padding.

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?

For a zero-parameter discovery tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description supplies enough about the returned navigation tree and value sets to be usable. Only the return envelope (structure, size, pagination) is left unspecified, which is a minor gap.

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 per the rubric the baseline is 4. There is nothing for the description to clarify beyond confirming that discovery is unconditional.

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 (Discover) plus two concrete resources: MLB.com's live navigation tree and the Stats API value sets. It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like mlb_search or mlb_standings, which fetch data rather than enumerate discoverable values.

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?

Explicitly says to 'discover sections and supported filters before calling MLB endpoints,' which gives the agent a clear prerequisite role in the workflow. It does not name specific downstream alternatives (e.g. mlb_game vs mlb_player), so it stops short of full when-to-use routing.

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