The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
account_status ~46
Show whether the server uses live data or demo data and, with an API key, the key's status: expiry, sports, languages, access restrictions and requests over 7 days.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_match ~244
Full details of one match: score, live statistics, all betting markets and odds, and its sub-events (halves, corners, cards...). A match can have hundreds of markets: filter with `markets` (e.g. ["1X2", "Total"]). Odds are decimal; 'blocked' means the selection is suspended. Sub-events have their own game_id: call get_match again with it and the same line_type.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| game_id | integer | yes | game_id from a match list, search or sub_events. |
| include_pointers | boolean | – | Append each selection's oc_pointer code (needed only for bet placement systems). |
| include_stats | boolean | – | Include live statistics (attacks, shots, xG...). |
| line_type | string | yes | The line type the game_id came from ('live' or 'prematch'). |
| markets | – | – | Only show these markets: case-insensitive name fragments (e.g. 'Total', '1X2', 'Handicap') or numeric market ids (group_id). Omit for the default markets. |
| max_markets | integer | – | Maximum markets to return (API order). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_menu ~135
