Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
v2LimitNo
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full burden. It discloses the returned JSON structure but omits behavioral details such as the effect of the v2Limit parameter, whether data is cached, or any mutation side effects. The description implies read-only behavior but is insufficiently explicit.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences: one for purpose, one for return format. Every word earns its place. No fluff, front-loaded with the core function.

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 tool has 1 parameter, no annotations, and no output schema, the description should cover the parameter's effect, data freshness, pagination, or limits. It only provides the output structure, leaving critical context incomplete for an agent to correctly invoke the tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With schema description coverage at 0%, the description must add meaning to the single parameter v2Limit. It fails to mention the parameter at all, leaving the agent with only the schema's default value and type. This is a significant gap.

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 states the tool returns 'next-up sport events across all codes, ordered by start time', explicitly framing it as a homepage feed. This verb+resource combination is distinct from sibling tools like pointsbet_sport_featured_events or pointsbet_event, providing strong purpose clarity.

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 for a homepage feed but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives (e.g., pointsbet_competition_events, pointsbet_sport_featured_events). It lacks when-not or alternative recommendations, leaving the agent to infer context from the name and sibling list.

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