CI Badge Coverage Python License: MIT

AI assistants like Claude have a knowledge cutoff — they can't tell you today's ECNL standings, last weekend's scores, or how your club's team is doing in its conference right now. This project fixes that.

It is an MCP server — a plugin that gives Claude direct access to live ECNL (Elite Clubs National League) and ECRL (ECNL Regional League) youth-soccer data: schedules, standings, results, teams, clubs, and RPI ratings, for both boys and girls across every conference and age group. Once connected, you can ask Claude natural-language questions and get accurate, up-to-date answers. No subscription, no API key, and no programming required to use it.

Built as a sibling to jk-mcp-nwsl: Python 3.13, FastMCP, httpx, hexagonal architecture. Data comes from the public Total Global Sports / AthleteOne API that powers theecnl.com.

Data model

league (ECNL/ECRL) × gender (boys/girls) × conference × season is one event (event_id). Within an event, divisions are age groups (e.g. G2008/2007 ≈ "U17"), each with one or more flights; standings and schedules are keyed by flight_id. Start with find_events to turn a human description into the IDs the other tools need — Claude does this chaining for you, so you never supply IDs by hand.


Tools

Tool

Description

find_events

Find ECNL/ECRL events (conferences) by league, gender, and/or season → event IDs

get_event_overview

List an event's divisions and flights with their IDs, tier, and team counts

get_standings

Get a flight's standings table — W-L-D, points, points-per-game

get_schedule

Get all matches for a flight — date, venue, teams, score

get_team_schedule

Get one team's matches within an event

get_teams

List the teams in a flight

get_clubs

List the clubs participating in an event

get_match

Get a single match's detail / box score

get_brackets

Get a flight's playoff bracket, if one exists

get_results

Get completed match results for a flight (the input RPI builds on)

get_rpi

Compute the RPI ranking for a flight with WP/OWP/OOWP components

get_team_rpi

Compute one team's RPI with its component breakdown

All tools are read-only and idempotent. Data comes from the AthleteOne / Total Global Sports public API (api.athleteone.com) that powers theecnl.com — no auth required, but the contract is not officially documented; if a tool stops working the upstream format likely changed. Endpoints, the org IDs used for event discovery, and the data hierarchy are documented in docs/decisions/0001-data-source-athleteone-api.md.

RPI

get_rpi and get_team_rpi compute the Rating Percentage Index using the standard NCAA structure from the women's-soccer RPI reference:

RPI = 0.25·WP + 0.50·OWP + 0.25·OOWP

WP = (W + tie_weight·T) / (W + L + T), with tie_weight defaulting to 1/3 (the 2024 convention; pass 0.5 for the pre-2024 convention). OWP and OOWP score ties at 1/2 and exclude the rated team from each opponent's record. Note: within a single conference (typically a complete round-robin) OWP/OOWP converge to ~0.5, so RPI ≈ WP there — RPI's discriminating power comes from cross-conference pools, a planned future enhancement.


Example prompts

Once the server is connected, ask Claude natural-language questions — it chains the tools for you (typically find_eventsget_event_overviewget_standings/get_schedule/get_rpi), resolving the event, division, and flight IDs along the way. Age groups map to birth-year divisions (e.g. "U17" ≈ the G2008/2007 division).

Production

A live instance runs on Fly.io behind the api-gateway. The MCP server itself is private (no public address) — all access goes through the gateway:

https://jk-api-gateway.fly.dev/mcp/ecnl

No installation, no Python, no cloning required. Point your MCP client at the URL above and you are done.

Claude Code

Install globally (recommended) so the server is available in every project:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user ecnl https://jk-api-gateway.fly.dev/mcp/ecnl

Verify it's registered and healthy:

claude mcp list

You should see ecnl: https://jk-api-gateway.fly.dev/mcp/ecnl (HTTP) - ✓ Connected. Restart Claude Code if you had it open.

Other scopes:

  • Drop --scope user to register only for the current project (cwd must match when you run claude).

  • Or commit a .mcp.json to the repo root to share with collaborators:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "ecnl": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://jk-api-gateway.fly.dev/mcp/ecnl"
        }
      }
    }

Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file.

Location:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ecnl": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://jk-api-gateway.fly.dev/mcp/ecnl"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. The ECNL tools will appear in the tool picker.


Roadmap — tool authorization

Tools are currently open on both transports. Tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint) signal intent, but nothing enforces it at runtime. The portfolio-wide agentic-posture page lays out a phased plan to close that gap (P1):

  • Streamable HTTP transport will require a bearer token verified against identity-platform-go JWKS. Stdio remains unauthenticated (subprocess trust boundary).

  • A new authorization port consulted before every tool dispatch, backed by an adapter that calls authorization-policy-service with {actor_type, agent_id, tool_name, args}.

  • Tool annotations extend to sensitivity, cost_class, rate_limit_class.

  • Per-call audit events emitted using the schema proposed in identity-platform-go ADR-0018.

The plan mirrors jk-mcp-nwsl — both servers share the template, so changes will land in lockstep.


Requirements

Only needed to run the server locally — the hosted instance requires neither.


Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/jedi-knights/jk-mcp-ecnl.git
cd jk-mcp-ecnl
uv sync

Run the server in stdio mode (the default — used by Claude Code and Claude Desktop):

uv run python -m ecnl.server

Run in HTTP mode (for networked or deployed access):

MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http uv run python -m ecnl.server

The installed entry point jk-mcp-ecnl is equivalent to python -m ecnl.server.


Configuration

All configuration is via environment variables. None are required for local use.

Claude Code

Prefer the hosted server? See Production → Claude Code above — it's a single command and requires no clone.

To run the server from your local clone instead, install it globally:

claude mcp add --scope user ecnl -- uv run --directory /path/to/jk-mcp-ecnl python -m ecnl.server

Replace /path/to/jk-mcp-ecnl with the absolute path to your clone. Verify with claude mcp list.

Other scopes:

  • Drop --scope user to register only for the current project.

  • Or commit a .mcp.json to the repo root for collaborators:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "ecnl": {
          "command": "uv",
          "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/jk-mcp-ecnl", "python", "-m", "ecnl.server"]
        }
      }
    }

See Example prompts for ideas on what to ask.


Claude Desktop

Install Claude Desktop

With Homebrew (macOS):

brew install --cask claude

Without Homebrew:

Download the installer for your platform from claude.ai/download and follow the on-screen instructions:

  • macOS: open the downloaded .dmg and drag Claude into /Applications

  • Windows: run the downloaded .exe installer

Launch Claude Desktop once and sign in before continuing — this creates the configuration directory referenced below.

Configure Claude Desktop to use this MCP server

Pick the option that matches how you want to run the server: hosted (no install), uv (local clone), or Docker (containerized). Then follow the four steps below.

1. Open the Claude Desktop config file

The fastest way is from inside Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Edit Config. This opens (and creates, if needed) the file in your default editor.

You can also open it directly:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

If the file does not exist yet, create it with {} as its contents.

2. Add the ecnl server entry

Merge one of the following snippets into the top-level mcpServers object. If mcpServers does not exist, add the whole block as shown.

Option A — Hosted (easiest, no install):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ecnl": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://jk-api-gateway.fly.dev/mcp/ecnl"
    }
  }
}

Option B — Local clone with uv:

Replace /path/to/jk-mcp-ecnl with the absolute path to your clone. If uv is not on Claude Desktop's PATH, use the absolute path to the binary (which uv will show it — typically /opt/homebrew/bin/uv on Apple Silicon or /usr/local/bin/uv on Intel Macs).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ecnl": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory", "/path/to/jk-mcp-ecnl",
        "python", "-m", "ecnl.server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Option C — Docker:

Build the image first (see Docker), then:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ecnl": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "jk-mcp-ecnl:latest"]
    }
  }
}

3. Save and fully restart Claude Desktop

Quit Claude Desktop completely (⌘Q on macOS, or right-click the tray icon → Quit on Windows) and relaunch it. A simple window close is not enough — the MCP servers are only loaded on launch.

4. Verify the connection

Open a new chat and click the tools / plug icon in the message bar. You should see ecnl listed with its tools (find_events, get_standings, get_schedule, get_rpi, and more). Try a prompt from Example prompts to confirm it works end-to-end.

If the server does not appear, check the Claude Desktop logs:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp*.log


Docker

Build the image:

docker build -t jk-mcp-ecnl:latest .

Run in stdio mode (for MCP clients that spawn a subprocess):

docker run -i --rm jk-mcp-ecnl:latest

Run in HTTP mode:

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 \
  -e MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http \
  jk-mcp-ecnl:latest

Available Tools

12 tools
find_eventsA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find ECNL or ECRL events (conferences) and their event IDs.

This is the starting point: it maps a human description to the numeric event IDs every other tool needs. Filter by any combination of league, gender, and season. With no arguments it returns all current events.

Args: league: "ECNL" or "ECRL" (the ECNL Regional League). Omit for both. gender: "girls" or "boys". Omit for both. season: Season label like "2025-26". Omit for all seasons present.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds useful context about being a look-up tool and default return all current events, but doesn't contradict or add major behavioral insights.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Well-structured with a brief intro and Args section. Every sentence is necessary and concise without fluff.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the output schema exists (not shown), description covers purpose, parameters, and workflow linkage. Complete for an agent to use effectively.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 0% coverage; description fully compensates by defining each parameter's allowed values and omissions (e.g., league: 'ECNL' or 'ECRL', omit for both).

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

Purpose5/5

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

Clearly states it finds ECNL or ECRL events and returns event IDs. Differentiates from siblings as the starting point for mapping human descriptions to numeric IDs.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly positions itself as the starting point, explains that event IDs are needed for other tools, and describes filtering options and default behavior with no arguments.

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

get_bracketsA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the playoff bracket for a flight, if one exists.

Returns the bracket structure as JSON. Many regular-season flights have no bracket; in that case the payload is empty.

Args: event_id: Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933). flight_id: Flight ID from get_event_overview.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
event_idYes
flight_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
resultYes

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds that payload is empty when no bracket exists, and mentions JSON output. No contradictions.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is concise (two sentences plus args) and front-loaded with purpose. Some structure could be improved with clear sections, but no wasted words.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the existence of an output schema and annotations, the description covers the essential behavioral details (possible empty payload, parameter source). Slight gap: does not specify where event_id comes from, but is minor.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has no property descriptions (0% coverage). Description adds meaning: event_id is numeric (example given), flight_id is obtained from get_event_overview. Fully compensates for lack of schema details.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Clearly states the tool retrieves the playoff bracket for a flight, with a specific verb and resource. Distinct from siblings like get_event_overview and get_results.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides clear context: brackets exist only for playoff flights, and payload may be empty. Notes that flight_id comes from get_event_overview, but does not explicitly exclude alternatives or state when not to use.

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

get_clubsA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the clubs participating in an event.

Returns each club's ID, name, and location.

Args: event_id: Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
event_idYes

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds minimal behavioral context (returned fields) but no additional traits like error handling or rate limits.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Extremely concise: two sentences and one line for args. No fluff, front-loaded purpose.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple query tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers purpose, return fields, and parameter details. Minor lack of error handling or sibling differentiation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has no parameter descriptions (0% coverage). The description adds format and an example for event_id, which compensates well.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool retrieves clubs participating in an event and lists return fields. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_teams, which could be confused.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 siblings or prerequisites. Only implicit that it requires an event_id.

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

get_event_overviewA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the divisions and flights for an event.

Returns each age-group division and its flights, with the flight ID, flight tier (ECNL/ECRL), and team count. Use the flight ID with get_standings, get_schedule, get_teams, and the RPI tools.

Args: event_id: Numeric event ID from find_events (e.g. 3933).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
event_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema

resultYes

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint false. The description adds valuable behavioral details: the output structure (age-group divisions, flights, ID, tier, team count), the argument source (from find_events), and an example. No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise with 4 sentences plus an args block. It is well-structured, front-loads the purpose, and includes a useful example. No unnecessary words.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool has one parameter, an output schema exists, and annotations are present, the description provides a high-level overview of the return structure and usage context. It is complete enough for an agent to select and invoke correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It fully describes the only parameter: 'event_id: Numeric event ID from find_events (e.g. 3933).' This adds type, source, and an example, going beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get the divisions and flights for an event.' It specifies what is returned (age-group divisions, flights, flight ID, flight tier, team count) and how it fits with sibling tools (use flight ID with other tools). This provides a specific verb+resource and distinguishes it from siblings by linking to dependent tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage by stating 'Use the flight ID with ...' indicating this tool is a prerequisite for other tools. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare alternatives among siblings. Clear context but lacks explicit exclusions.

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

get_matchA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get detailed information for a single match by its token.

Returns the match-detail / box-score payload (teams, score, events) as JSON. The match token comes from a schedule entry's match data.

Args: match_token: The match's token/ID string.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
match_tokenYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
resultYes

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds that it returns match-detail/box-score payload as JSON and explains the token origin, which is valuable beyond annotations. No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is four sentences with an Args section; it is front-loaded with the purpose and contains no extraneous information. Every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given one parameter, annotations covering safety, and an existing output schema, the description fully explains purpose, return type, and token provenance. It is complete for a single-match detail tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description fully compensates by documenting the single parameter 'match_token' as the match's token/ID string and explaining its origin. This provides complete semantic meaning.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'detailed information for a single match by its token.' It specifies the unique identifier (match token) and distinguishes from sibling tools that return lists or different scopes (e.g., get_results, get_schedule).

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains that the match token comes from a schedule entry, implying the tool should be used when a token is available. It doesn't explicitly list when not to use it, but the context is clear enough to differentiate from siblings.

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

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and non-destructive. The description adds behavioral details: returns only played games, final scores, and is raw data for RPI tools. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Description is concise and well-structured: one-line purpose, then detailed description, then parameter documentation. No redundant sentences.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given that an output schema exists, the description adequately explains what is returned (completed match results, only played games, final scores) and its role as raw data. Annotations cover safety and reliability aspects. Params are fully documented.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. The Args section provides clear explanations for both parameters: event_id with example value, flight_id with source (get_event_overview). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's type-only info.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states 'Get the completed match results for a flight' and specifies that it returns only played games with final scores. It distinguishes itself from siblings by noting it provides raw data used by RPI tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Description explains when to use the tool (to get completed results for a flight) and provides a prerequisite hint that flight_id comes from get_event_overview. It does not explicitly state alternatives or when not to use, but the context with sibling tools implies this.

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

get_rpiA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Compute the RPI ranking for every team in a flight.

RPI = 0.25·WP + 0.50·OWP + 0.25·OOWP, computed from the flight's completed games. Returns each team's WP/OWP/OOWP components and final RPI, ranked. Early in a season, sparse results make RPI noisy.

Args: event_id: Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933). flight_id: Flight ID from get_event_overview. tie_weight: Tie value in the winning-percentage element — 1/3 (the 2024 convention, default) or 0.5 (pre-2024).

ParametersJSON Schema

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, open-world, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations by detailing the formula, components returned, and noise sensitivity, without contradicting annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise: two main sentences about purpose and formula, a caveat, and a clear args section. Every sentence adds value; no redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the complexity of the tool (formula, multiple components, default handling) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers all necessary behavioral and parameter details, including a usage caveat.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema coverage, the description fully explains each parameter: event_id with example, flight_id as derived from another tool, and tie_weight with its meaning and default. This compensates completely for the lack of schema descriptions.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool computes RPI ranking for every team in a flight and provides the formula. It differentiates from the sibling 'get_team_rpi' implicitly by focusing on all teams, but does not explicitly distinguish.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains that RPI is computed from completed games and notes that early season results are noisy, offering some usage context. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use the tool or suggest alternatives among siblings.

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

get_scheduleA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get all matches for a flight.

Returns each match's date, time, venue, teams, and score (if played). Get the flight ID from get_event_overview.

Args: event_id: Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933). flight_id: Flight ID from get_event_overview.

ParametersJSON Schema

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds behavioral detail: score returned only if match is played. Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Concise: four sentences covering purpose, return details, prerequisite, and args. Front-loaded with key action. No redundant text.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers returns, prerequisite, and parameter sources. Output schema exists, so return structure is externally defined. Lacks error or pagination info, but acceptable.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, description explains event_id as 'Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933)' and flight_id's source. Adds value beyond schema types.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description clearly states verb 'get', resource 'all matches for a flight', and specifies returned fields (date, time, venue, teams, score). Distinguishes from siblings like get_match (single match) and get_team_schedule (team-specific).

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides prerequisite: 'Get the flight ID from get_event_overview.' Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or comparison with alternatives like get_results, but the prerequisite is useful context.

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

get_standingsA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the standings table for a flight.

Returns each team's W-L-D record, points, and points-per-game ordered as the league publishes them. Get the division and flight IDs from get_event_overview.

Args: event_id: Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933). division_id: Age-group division ID from get_event_overview. flight_id: Flight ID from get_event_overview.

ParametersJSON Schema

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds that the table is ordered as the league publishes them, but otherwise does not provide additional behavioral context beyond what annotations convey.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise with a clear intro and bullet-point Args. Every sentence adds value; no redundant or vague phrasing.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the presence of an output schema, the description correctly focuses on input parameters and high-level output. It adequately covers the tool's behavior for three required parameters and is complete for the task.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description provides detailed explanations for each parameter (e.g., 'event_id: Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933)') where the input schema has no descriptions (0% coverage). This adds essential meaning for correct invocation.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description begins with 'Get the standings table for a flight,' clearly stating the verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_brackets, get_results, and get_rpi by specifying it returns standings data.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It explicitly tells users to get division and flight IDs from get_event_overview, providing clear usage context. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives, though the sibling list implies distinctions.

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

get_team_rpiA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Compute one team's RPI with its component breakdown.

Args: event_id: Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933). flight_id: Flight ID from get_event_overview. team: Team name (or a distinctive part of it), case-insensitive. tie_weight: WP tie value — 1/3 (default) or 0.5 (pre-2024).

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, and open-world hints. Description adds case-insensitivity for team name, partial matching, and tie_weight variations. No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

One-sentence summary followed by a clear, bullet-like argument list. Every sentence adds value, no redundancy. Front-loaded with core purpose.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Output schema exists, so return structure is already documented. Input parameters are fully described. No gaps given the tool's complexity (4 parameters, 3 required, one with default).

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter: event_id (example), flight_id (source), team (case-insensitive, partial match), tie_weight (default and alternative).

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

Purpose5/5

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

Explicitly states verb 'Compute', resource 'one team's RPI', and outcome 'component breakdown'. Clearly distinguishes from sibling `get_rpi` by focusing on a single team.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides detailed parameter semantics with examples and defaults. However, does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over `get_rpi` or other siblings, nor when not to use it.

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

get_teamsA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the teams competing in a flight.

Returns each team's ID, name, and head coach. Use a team ID with get_team_schedule. Get the flight ID from get_event_overview.

Args: flight_id: Flight ID from get_event_overview.

ParametersJSON Schema

resultYes

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds value by specifying the exact return fields (ID, name, head coach) and the dependency on flight_id from another tool, which helps the agent understand data flow.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise—two sentences plus an Args section. Every sentence earns its place, front-loading the main purpose and return values.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given a simple list tool with an output schema (implied), the description fully covers what is returned and how to chain with related tools. No gaps remain for the agent's selection and invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has one parameter (flight_id) with 0% coverage. The description adds crucial meaning: 'Flight ID from get_event_overview.' This tells the agent where to source the parameter, compensating for the schema gap.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb (Get) and resource (teams competing in a flight) and specifies the returned fields (ID, name, head coach). It distinguishes from sibling tools by linking to get_event_overview and get_team_schedule.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains when to use this tool (to get teams for a flight) and tells the agent to obtain flight_id from get_event_overview. It also suggests using a team ID with get_team_schedule, providing clear context and chaining.

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

get_team_scheduleA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get all matches for one team within an event.

Returns the team's full slate — date, opponent, venue, and score.

Args: event_id: Numeric event ID (e.g. 3933). team_id: Team ID from get_teams or the standings table.

ParametersJSON Schema

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint, so the bar is lower. The description adds value by specifying the return content (full slate with date, opponent, venue, score), which is consistent with read-only behavior. No contradictions or missing behavioral context beyond what annotations provide.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise: two lines for purpose followed by a bullet-style Args section. Every sentence serves a purpose with no redundancy or filler. Front-loaded with the core action.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (2 integer params, no enums, output schema exists), the description is complete. It explains what the tool does, what it returns, and how to use the parameters. The output schema obviates the need for return value details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description's 'Args' section adds substantial meaning: it provides a concrete example for event_id (e.g., 3933) and tells the agent that team_id can be obtained from get_teams or the standings table. This compensates fully for the missing schema descriptions.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states 'Get all matches for one team within an event' and lists specific return fields (date, opponent, venue, score). This verb+resource combination is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like get_schedule (likely broader) and get_match (single match).

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context with arg examples and a reference to get_teams for obtaining team_id. While no explicit when-not-to-use directives are given, the purpose is sufficiently clear to guide selection among siblings.

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

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct aspect of the ECNL/ECRL data model: event discovery, brackets, clubs, overview, matches, results, RPI, schedule, standings, team RPI, teams, and team schedule. There is no functional overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent 'verb_noun' pattern (e.g., find_events, get_brackets, get_clubs). No mixing of case or styles.

Tool Count5/5

12 tools is well within the optimal range for a domain-specific server. Each tool serves a clear purpose, and the count feels appropriate for querying soccer event data.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full lifecycle of querying events, brackets, clubs, overview, matches, results, RPI, schedule, standings, and team-specific data. No obvious gaps for read-only operations.
