get_all_prematch_odds

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

The description mentions pagination, which aligns with the page and per_page parameters, but no annotations exist to provide safety traits. The description does not disclose whether the operation is read-only or any side effects, leaving behavioral transparency minimally acceptable but not strong.

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 very concise at one sentence and front-loads the core purpose. It avoids unnecessary words, but could include a brief note on typical usage without becoming verbose.

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 6 parameters and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain the return format, default pagination, or how to handle large datasets. With many sibling tools, more context is needed for an agent to understand this tool's role and limitations.

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 input schema already describes all 6 parameters with full coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no significant additional meaning beyond what the schema provides; it only reinforces pagination. The locale, include, select, and filters parameters are left to the schema descriptions.

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 'get all available pre-match odds' with pagination, which identifies the resource and action. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_all_inplay_odds and get_all_historical_odds by specifying 'pre-match', but does not explicitly differentiate from more specific prematch odds tools like get_prematch_odds_by_fixture_id.

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 versus alternatives, such as get_prematch_odds_by_fixture_id or get_prematch_odds_by_fixture_and_bookmaker. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or typical use cases, making it difficult for an AI agent to select it appropriately.

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