jolpicaf1_pitstops

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve pit stop data for a Formula 1 race, including lap number, time of day, and stationary duration, by specifying season and round.

Instructions

Pit stops for a race: lap, time of day and stationary duration.

Returns: {MRData:{RaceTable:{Races:[{PitStops:[{driverId, lap, stop, time, duration}]}]}}} — duration is stationary time ('23.2'), time is clock time of day

Example: 2024 round 1 pit stops {"season": "2024", "round": "1", "format": "json"}

Auth: none needed.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate a safe, read-only, idempotent operation. The description adds valuable context beyond annotations: it clarifies the semantics of 'duration' vs 'time', states that auth is not needed, and shows the response structure. No contradictions with annotations.

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 concise and well-structured: definition, return shape, field clarification, example, and auth note. Each line earns its place, and the return shape is especially useful given the lack of an output schema.

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 read-only tool with well-documented parameters and helpful annotations, the description is complete: it provides the return structure, an example call, and permission requirements. It sufficiently compensates for the missing output schema.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all parameters. The description adds a concrete example of parameter values, but does not add significant semantic detail beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description clearly identifies the tool as retrieving pit stops for a race, listing the key fields (lap, time, duration). It distinguishes itself from other jolpicaf1 tools by focusing specifically on pit stop data.

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 usage through its definition and provides an example invocation, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or mention exclusions. The context is clear but not fully explicit.

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