nba_hustle_stats

Retrieve NBA hustle statistics for one game by game ID, including contested shots, deflections, charges drawn, screen assists, loose-ball recoveries, and box-outs.

Instructions

NBA hustle statistics for one game. Returns the hustle statistics for one game: minutes plus contested shots (overall, two-point and three-point), deflections, charges drawn, screen assists and screen-assist points, loose balls recovered (offensive, defensive and total) and box-outs. Marker-verified columns are PLAYER_ID, TEAM_ID, MINUTES, CONTESTED_SHOTS, CONTESTED_SHOTS_2PT, CONTESTED_SHOTS_3PT, DEFLECTIONS, CHARGES_DRAWN, SCREEN_ASSISTS, SCREEN_AST_PTS, OFF_LOOSE_BALLS_RECOVERED, DEF_LOOSE_BALLS_RECOVERED, LOOSE_BALLS_RECOVERED and BOX_OUTS; the sampled BOX_OUTS_PLAYER and BOX_OUTS_TEAM names did not match and are not claimed.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden and does add useful context by listing returned columns and noting that BOX_OUTS_PLAYER and BOX_OUTS_TEAM were not marker-verified. It does not explicitly state read-only behavior, error handling, pagination, or other operational traits, but the retrieval nature is clear from the purpose.

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?

The description is front-loaded and the column enumeration is useful because no output schema exists. However, the first two sentences redundantly restate the same purpose, and the long field list makes the definition 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?

For a simple one-parameter retrieval tool with no output schema, the description does a good job explaining what is returned and includes a relevant caveat about unverified columns. Its main gap is the lack of explicit routing guidance versus nba_hustle_team.

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 coverage is 100%, and the single game_id parameter is already described as a ten-digit id from nba-scoreboard. The description adds no further semantics about the parameter, so the baseline score of 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 clearly states that it returns NBA hustle statistics for one game and enumerates the specific stats returned. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this player-level tool from the sibling nba_hustle_team tool, leaving the agent to infer the difference from PLAYER_ID being listed.

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?

Usage is only implied by 'for one game' and the required game_id. The description gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and does not mention nba_hustle_team as the alternative for team-level hustle stats.

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