sofascore_team_events

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

No annotations provided, so description carries the burden. It mentions 'credential-free public JSON' and that an empty events list is valid, but does not disclose rate limits, pagination behavior beyond zero-based page, error handling, or any side effects.

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

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

Three sentences, each essential. No redundancy, no fluff. Front-loaded with purpose, then constraints.

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

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

No output schema exists, so description should elaborate on return structure. It mentions 'page of fixtures' and empty events, but does not describe fixture fields, error cases, or how page size is determined. Incomplete for a tool with 3 parameters.

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

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds value by clarifying direction enum values ('next' and 'last') and stating page is zero-based, which enhances schema documentation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool returns a page of a team's upcoming or recent fixtures, identifying the specific verb ('Returns') and resource ('team fixtures'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sofascore_team and sofascore_team_players by focusing on fixtures.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for upcoming or recent fixtures via direction enum, but does not explicitly guide when to use this over alternatives like sofascore_event, sofascore_live_events, or sofascore_round_events. No 'when not to use' guidance.

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