Get Manager Squad

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. It implies a read operation on another manager's squad but does not state permissions, whether the caller must belong to the same league, or any other behavioral constraint; the output schema covers return shape but not these traits.

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?

It is short, front-loaded, and every sentence adds some value. The fragmentary phrasing is slightly awkward, but there is no filler or redundancy.

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?

For a tool with no annotations, two parameters at 0% schema description coverage, and only a minimal description, important details are missing. The output schema helps with return values, but parameter meaning and behavioral context remain incomplete.

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 must explain both parameters. It usefully explains where user_id comes from (get_league_ranking) but says nothing about league_id, including why it is optional or when it should be supplied.

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 identifies the resource as 'another manager's squad' and implicitly distinguishes it from get_my_squad. However, it is a sentence fragment without a clear verb, so the agent must infer that the tool retrieves that squad rather than, for example, modifying it.

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?

It gives a useful prerequisite for the required user_id by pointing to get_league_ranking, which is genuinely helpful. It does not explicitly say when to use this instead of get_my_squad or what happens when league_id is omitted, leaving usage partly implied.

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