get_event_teams_simple

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a simplified list of teams at an event, showing team key, number, nickname, name, and location. Lighter alternative to the full team list.

Instructions

List teams competing at an event with reduced team fields (key, team_number, nickname, name, location). Lighter than get_event_teams.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
event_keyYesTBA event key combining the season year and event code (e.g., '2023casj' for the 2023 Silicon Valley Regional, '2024txhou' for the 2024 Houston Championship, '2024micmp4' for a Michigan State Championship division). Use get_events or get_events_keys to discover valid event keys for a year.
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the comprehensive annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc.), the description adds that this returns reduced fields and is lighter, which is useful behavioral context.

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?

Two concise sentences deliver purpose and differentiation without waste, perfectly front-loaded.

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 simple nature (one parameter, no output schema), the description sufficiently covers what the tool does and how it differs from a sibling, leaving no gaps.

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?

The only parameter (event_key) has 100% schema coverage with a detailed description. The tool description does not add further explanation, so baseline applies.

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 action (List teams), resource (at an event), and specifies reduced fields compared to a sibling tool, making it unambiguous.

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 mentions it's lighter than get_event_teams, implying when to use it. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide alternative conditions.

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