sleeper_trending_players

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

No annotations provided, so description should fully disclose behavior. It only states it gets trending players, with no details on output format, pagination, or what constitutes 'trending'.

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?

One concise sentence with no filler. Front-loaded with key action. However, may be too terse at the expense of completeness.

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?

With no output schema, no annotations, and 4 parameters, the description is insufficient. Lacks explanation of return value, parameter usage, 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?

Schema coverage is only 25% (only 'type' has description). Description adds no additional meaning to parameters, leaving 3 of 4 parameters poorly documented.

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 'Get trending players on Sleeper' clearly states the verb and resource, and implies a filtered subset compared to siblings like sleeper_players. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings.

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 like sleeper_players, or what 'trending' means. Missing context for typical use cases.

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