pl_broadcasting_events

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses the return shape ({pageInfo, content:[...]}) and implies a read operation, but does not detail pagination behavior, rate limits, or potential side effects. Adds some value but not comprehensive.

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, no fluff. The first sentence states the purpose, the second describes the return shape. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Given no output schema, no annotations, and 0% schema coverage, the description is adequate for a basic understanding of a date-range list tool. However, it lacks details on pagination limits, timezone handling, and ordering, which are relevant for broadcasting schedules.

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 0%, so description must add meaning. It mentions 'date range' in natural language, which loosely describes 'fromDate' and 'toDate', but does not explicitly link them or explain 'pageSize'. Parameter semantics are minimally covered.

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 it returns a 'TV/broadcast schedule for a date range', which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from the sibling 'pl_broadcast_match_events' which likely returns individual match events, but does not explicitly contrast them, so not a 5.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'pl_broadcast_match_events' or any other broadcast-related tools. The description does not mention contexts or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage.

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