pointsbet_racing_meeting

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a horse racing meeting's details by ID, including venue, conditions, and the full list of races with numbers and names.

Instructions

One race meeting by id: venue, conditions, and the full list of its races.

Returns: {meetingId, venue, racingType, meetingStartDateTimeUtc, races:[{raceId, raceNumber, name}]}

Auth: none needed.

Input Schema

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds 'Auth: none needed' and specifies the exact return shape, which is critical since no output schema exists. It adds useful context beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

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?

Three short sentences cover purpose, return format, and auth. Every sentence provides distinct value with no redundancy. Front-loaded with the essential purpose.

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?

For a simple single-parameter read-only tool, the description includes the return structure (compensating for missing output schema) and auth requirements. Annotations cover safety/idempotency. No significant gaps remain.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100% and already explains meetingId includes an example and source. The description does not add additional parameter semantics, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 fetches a single race meeting by ID and lists what it returns (venue, conditions, races). The singular 'One race meeting by id' distinguishes it from the sibling pointsbet_racing_meetings (plural). Specific verb+resource+scope.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Implied usage: use this when you have a meetingId and need its details/races. The 'by id' phrasing contrasts with the plural list tool, providing clear context. However, it does not explicitly name an alternative or state when not to use it.

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