sportsdb: Get event results

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds no additional behavioral traits beyond what annotations provide, such as rate limits, authorization, or output format. No contradiction.

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 a single 12-word sentence that is concise and front-loaded. It efficiently communicates the core purpose, though it could include slightly more context without significant bloat.

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?

There is no output schema, yet the description does not hint at the return format or data structure. It also fails to differentiate from sibling tools like sportsdb_get_event_details, leaving ambiguity about what 'event results' comprises.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all three parameters. The description adds no new meaning beyond the schema; it merely restates that the tool targets a specific round and league season.

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 tool retrieves past event results for a specific round and league season. It identifies the resource (event results) and scoping (round, season), but does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like sportsdb_get_event_details or sportsdb_get_events_by_date.

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?

The description implies usage for a specific round and season, but provides no guidance on when not to use this tool or mention alternatives such as sportsdb_get_event_details for a single event or sportsdb_get_events_by_date for date-based queries.

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