cricket_player_form_index

Read-onlyIdempotent

Calculates a 0-100 form score for any cricket player using recent innings data. Returns trend direction and sample size for context.

Instructions

Report a 0-100 form score for a player using the player_stats chain.

Args: player_id: Upstream player identifier (CricAPI/Cricbuzz id).

Returns: data.form_score: 0..100 indicator. data.trend: "rising" / "stable" / "falling". data.samples: how many recent innings were available. meta.source: which adapter served the underlying stats. meta.estimated: true.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds context about using the 'player_stats chain', returning estimated data (meta.estimated: true), and the adapter source, which goes beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with Args, Returns, and meta sections. It is front-loaded with the main purpose and avoids unnecessary words, though slightly longer than minimal.

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 low complexity (one parameter, simple output), the description fully explains all return fields (form_score, trend, samples) and meta information, leaving no gaps for an agent.

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 input schema has 100% coverage with a single parameter described identically in both schema and description. The description does not add new meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score 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 verb 'Report' and the specific resource '0-100 form score for a player', distinguishing it from sibling tools that provide different cricket data such as scorecards or matchups.

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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or provide exclusions. It implies usage for obtaining a form score but lacks comparative guidance.

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