get_season_statistics_by_participant

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states 'Get all season statistics' but does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authentication requirements, rate limits, or potential data volume. The description adds only that participant can be team or player, but lacks safety details.

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?

Single sentence, 12 words, front-loaded with verb and resource. However, the brevity omits necessary details about participant specification, making it slightly under-informative.

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?

Despite having 5 parameters (including filtering options like include, select, filters), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not explain complex filtering, return format, or how the participant is identified, making it incomplete for an agent to invoke 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?

The description says 'for a participant' but the parameters do not include a participant identifier; only season_id is required. The description fails to explain how to specify the participant (likely via filters), creating ambiguity. While schema coverage is 100%, the description adds no clarity beyond the schema.

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 the verb 'Get', the resource 'season statistics', and the scope 'for a participant (team or player) in a season'. It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like get_round_statistics_by_id or get_stage_statistics_by_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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Many sibling tools retrieve statistics (e.g., get_round_statistics_by_id, get_stage_statistics_by_id), but the description does not explain the difference or provide usage context.

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