Send request bodies to Betfair's Exchange Streaming API over a CRLF-delimited socket, enabling real-time market data streaming.

Instructions

This is a socket protocol delimited by CRLF (not http)

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bodyNoRequest body
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the protocol delimiter, omitting details about side effects, return values, error behavior, or any operational characteristics.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it is under-specified rather than efficiently informative. It conveys one fact but lacks essential purpose and usage details.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema), the description is severely incomplete. It fails to explain what the tool does, expected body structure, or response behavior, leaving the agent without essential context.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% with a single 'body' parameter described as 'Request body'. The description adds no additional semantic meaning, but the high schema coverage yields a baseline of 3. The CRLF note hints at body format but is vague.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description does not state what the tool does; it only describes the protocol as CRLF-delimited socket (not HTTP). There is no verb or resource indicating the action, making the purpose vague and misleading.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

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 or how it differs from alternatives. The mention of 'socket protocol' implies low-level network use, but no explicit context or exclusions are given.

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