get_team_simple

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve essential FRC team information including key, number, nickname, name, and location. Use this lighter alternative when full details like website and address are unnecessary.

Instructions

Retrieve a reduced FRC team profile (key, team_number, nickname, name, city, state_prov, country). Lighter than get_team; use when website, motto, address, and lat/lng are not needed.

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.
Behavior4/5

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

Descriptions adds behavioral context (lighter version) beyond annotations which already indicate safety and idempotency. 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?

Two sentences, no wasted words. First sentence states purpose, second gives usage guidance.

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?

With no output schema, the description lists the returned fields, making it self-contained. For a simple one-parameter retrieval, this is complete.

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%, and the description does not add new meaning to the single parameter beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 retrieves a reduced FRC team profile with specific fields. It distinguishes itself from the sibling 'get_team' by noting what is omitted.

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?

Explicit guidance: 'Lighter than get_team; use when website, motto, address, and lat/lng are not needed.' This clearly tells when to use this tool instead of its sibling.

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