get_multi_odds

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only mentions limits (10 events, 1 API call) and does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the operation is read-only, authentication requirements, rate limiting, or error handling. The description is too sparse for a tool with no annotations.

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?

Two sentences, both front-loaded with key information: purpose and benefit. No unnecessary words, earning its place.

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?

The description covers limits and API call benefit, but lacks details on return format, error behavior, or prerequisites. Given no output schema and moderate complexity, it is somewhat complete but missing context for a robust understanding.

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%, and the description does not add meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents parameters sufficiently.

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 odds for multiple events in a single request, with an explicit constraint of up to 10 events. It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_odds (single event) by emphasizing batching and the benefit of counting as one API call.

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 batch odds retrieval and notes the API call benefit, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_odds or get_historical_odds. No exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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