openf1_overtakes

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions the output format but does not disclose behavioral traits such as data availability for different session types, ordering, pagination, or any restrictions. The description is minimal.

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?

The description is very concise: one sentence and a line listing output fields. It is front-loaded and efficient, though it could benefit from a bit more information without becoming verbose.

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?

With 4 parameters and no output schema, the description should explain both input parameters and output structure. It explains output but not input. It also fails to mention that session_key is required. The description is incomplete for an agent to use effectively.

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?

The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not explain any of the parameters (meeting_key, session_key, overtaken_driver_number, overtaking_driver_number). It only lists output fields, so it adds no value beyond the parameter names. The agent gets no semantic guidance on how to use these filters.

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 that the tool returns overtake events in a race, specifying the fields returned. It is clear about what the tool does, but it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like openf1_position or openf1_intervals, which also deal with race events.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention that a session_key is required. It simply states what the tool returns, leaving the agent to infer usage context.

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