Agent readability score
Can an LLM agent pick the right tool here — names, descriptions and parameter clarity are assessed.
Agent readability score
Strengths
- Tool names clearly indicate purpose (e.g., 'parlayapi_get_odds', 'parlayapi_best_line')
- Descriptions explicitly state use cases (e.g., 'use this when explaining tier unlocks')
- Most parameters have clear required/optional flags and types
Weaknesses
- Some parameters use 'type': null (e.g., 'line' in parlayapi_verdict)
- Ambiguous parameter formats (e.g., 'books' as comma-separated strings without explicit documentation)
- Limited error handling details in descriptions
parlayapi_verdict— Parameter 'line' has undefined type (null)parlayapi_set_bettable_books— Parameter 'books' format not explicitly documentedparlayapi_parlay_verdict— Parameter 'stake' has undefined type (null)

Tools
Tools the server advertised in the latest measurement — measured, not catalog-claimed.
parlayapi_signupCreate a free-tier ParlayAPI account for the given email. Returns the API key, a magic-login URL the user can click to access their dashboard, and a Stripe upgrade URL. Idempotent: if the email already has an account, returns exists=true with the login URL only (the existing API key is intentionally NOT exposed for security). Use this when a user wants to start building with ParlayAPI and does not have a key yet. After signup, ask the user to add the returned api_key to their MCP server config under PARLAYAPI_KEY, then restart the MCP client to pick it up. Args: email: User's email address. intended_use: Optional one-line description of what they're building. Used for analytics. agent_id: Identifier for the agent ma
