Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
raceIdYes
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries burden. Adds useful info about possible 204 response (empty before publication), but does not disclose read-only nature or other behavioral traits.

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 plus return format, no fluff. Purpose front-loaded, efficient.

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?

Simple tool with one parameter, description covers return format and possible empty state. Adequate for basic usage, but could benefit from a brief example.

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?

Schema has 0% description coverage and description does not explain the 'raceId' parameter. No guidance on what raceId represents or how to obtain it.

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?

Clearly states it provides 'Editorial form insights for one race' and specifies return format. The name 'insights' distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'pointsbet_racing_form' or 'pointsbet_racing_tips', but no explicit differentiation in description.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

Only mentions the timing constraint (may be empty before published) but does not compare to alternatives or specify when to use over form/tips/race tools.

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