Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch editorial form insights for a race by providing its raceId. Returns structured insights with headings and body text for pre-race analysis.

Returns: {raceId, insights:[{heading, body}]} (204 No Content when none yet)

Auth: none needed.

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (readOnly, openWorld, idempotent), the description discloses the 204 No Content behavior when insights are not yet published, the exact return shape, and that no authentication is needed. This adds meaningful behavioral context that annotations do not capture.

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?

The description is extremely concise, using three short labeled sections. It front-loads the primary purpose and avoids any redundant information, making every sentence informative.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (one param, no output schema), the description fully covers the essential use case, including response format and edge cases like 204. The annotations cover safety, so no additional context is needed.

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?

The schema already provides 100% coverage for the single parameter (raceId) with a clear description. The tool description adds no additional semantic detail for the parameter, so the baseline score 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 states the tool provides editorial form insights for a single race, using a specific verb+resource structure. It distinguishes itself from siblings like pointsbet_racing_tips (tips) and pointsbet_racing_form (form data) by specifying 'editorial insights' and 'one race'.

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 mentions that content may be empty before publication, implying a timing consideration, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like pointsbet_racing_tips or pointsbet_racing_form. Usage context is implied but lacks explicit guidance or exclusions.

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