tab_sports

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

No annotations provided; the description only mentions the return format and does not disclose any behavioral traits like auth, rate limits, or side effects.

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?

Extremely concise with two sentences and a clear return format; front-loaded with the tool's primary purpose.

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?

Describes the return structure but omits the jurisdiction parameter, reducing completeness for a simple tool with one optional input.

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?

The jurisdiction parameter is not mentioned in the description despite having 0% schema coverage, leaving its purpose and effect unclear.

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 lists all sports and serves as the HATEOAS root for the sports tree. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'tab_sport' which focus on a single sport.

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?

Implied usage as an entry point for navigating to competitions, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use alternatives.

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