Returns: {events:{}, markets:{}, prices:{}, entrants:{}, next_events:[], regions:{}}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
category_idsYes
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. The description lists return fields but does not disclose behavioral traits such as rate limits, authorization requirements, data freshness, pagination, or any side effects. Minimal transparency beyond basic purpose.

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?

The description is very short (two sentences) and efficient, but lacks structure such as bullet points or clear sections. Every word earns its place, but the conciseness sacrifices completeness.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of returning multiple nested objects (events, markets, prices, etc.) and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lists return keys but does not explain their structure, relationships, or any constraints (e.g., maximum categories).

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

Parameters1/5

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

The single required parameter "category_ids" has no description in the schema (0% coverage) and the tool description only implies it is a list of category IDs without specifying format, constraints, or providing examples. This is insufficient for correct invocation.

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 it retrieves bulk events, markets, and prices for one or more sport categories, listing the return fields. It specifies the action and resource, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like "entain_sport_event_card."

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies use for bulk data across multiple categories, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., single event tools) and any prerequisites or limitations.

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