get_team_media

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve FRC team media (photos, videos, presentations) for a specific season year. Get direct URLs and identify the team's preferred primary image.

Instructions

Retrieve media (photos, videos, presentations, essays) submitted for a team in a given FRC season year. Returns media records with type (e.g., 'youtube', 'imgur', 'instagram-image', 'cdphotothread'), foreign_key, view URL, direct URL, and the 'preferred' flag highlighting the team's chosen primary image. Useful for surfacing official reveal videos, robot photos, and Impact/Chairman's submissions.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
team_keyYesFRC team key formatted as 'frc' followed by the team number with no leading zeros (e.g., 'frc86', 'frc254', 'frc1114'). Uniquely identifies a FIRST Robotics Competition team on The Blue Alliance.
yearYesFRC competition season year. FRC began in 1992 and runs one game per year (e.g., 2023 = "Charged Up", 2024 = "Crescendo", 2025 = "Reefscape"). Must be between 1992 and next calendar year.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds return field details and type examples, which is adequate but not extensive.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the verb 'Retrieve', no wasted words. Clear and efficient.

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 read-only retrieval tool without output schema, the description adequately lists return fields and use cases. Some potential details like pagination are missing, but not critical.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented in schema. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema for team_key or year.

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 it retrieves media for a team in a given year, lists return fields, and differentiates from siblings like get_team_media_by_tag by focusing on general media submissions.

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 context for use cases (surfacing videos, photos, submissions) but does not explicitly exclude alternatives or mention 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.
