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

No annotations are present, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the return structure and gives an example, but does not state whether the tool is read-only, requires authentication, or has any side effects. The lack of disclosure is a significant gap.

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?

The description is extremely concise with three lines, front-loading the purpose, then the return type, and finally an example. Every sentence is informative with no wasted words.

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 the tool has 4 parameters (2 required, 2 optional) and no annotations or output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the purpose of the boolean parameters, the full meaning of the return structure, or any constraints on the date range. An agent would need to guess or infer how to use the tool correctly.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description should explain parameters. It hints at date range usage via 'for a date window' and the example, but does not explain the optional boolean parameters 'includeLiveEvents' and 'excludeNonLiveEvents'. This leaves the agent without clear guidance on how to set these parameters.

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 'sport classes (sports) with their competitions for a date window'. The verb 'returns' and resource are specific, but the description does not differentiate it from sibling tools like sportsbet_sports_card or sportsbet_competition_matches.

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 is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as sportsbet_competition_matches or sportsbet_sports_card. The description does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or typical use cases.

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