v1.17.9Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It notes the data is 'live' and 'public', and mentions game-specific fields, but omits details about format, pagination, rate limits, or whether the response is cached. It adds some context but leaves significant gaps for a data-retrieval tool.
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?
Two sentences efficiently describe the purpose and return content. It is front-loaded with the key action. However, the second sentence is somewhat vague and could be more precise without adding length.
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?
The tool is a simple retrieval with one required parameter and no output schema. The description covers the basic purpose but fails to differentiate from sibling guessing-game tools or elaborate on the returned fields, leaving an agent with insufficient context to choose correctly among similar tools.
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 description coverage is 100%, so the single 'slug' parameter is fully documented with an enum and a useful description. The description adds no parameter-level information beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 states a clear verb+resource ('List players') but is vague about what the tool actually returns – 'live public entity list' is jargon. Sibling tools like sportskeeda_guessing_game and sportskeeda_guessing_games exist, but the description never differentiates this tool from them, leaving ambiguity for an agent.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus sportskeeda_guessing_game, sportskeeda_guessing_games, or other Sportskeeda endpoints. The description implies a context but gives no explicit alternatives or conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
