Server tool list (6)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| list_sports | List current canonical sport IDs and names. Do not use a catalog row as evidence of current events, prices, or plan access. |
| list_affiliates | List currently published affiliate IDs and names, excluding retired affiliates. Do not use a catalog row as proof of plan access or an open offer for a sport or market. |
| list_markets | Discover market definitions, or available markets for one sport and date. Do not use definitions as price quotes or combine live with date-based discovery. Catalog sport/live filters use catalog metadata. |
| list_events | Find event IDs and summaries for one sport and date. Do not use this tool for futures or as a price quote; use the returned exact event ID with get_main_lines. Defaults to open main lines for prematch markets 1/2/3 and affiliates 19/23. Each local page refetches a metered snapshot. |
| get_main_lines | Fetch open per-affiliate main lines for one event_id. Do not call until list_events returned that exact ID, and do not treat retrieved_at as price freshness. Preserves participant identity, line value and price updated_at. Request live markets 41/42/43 explicitly; each local page is metered. |
| list_futures | Read one sport's scoped futures competition page. Do not use this for dated event discovery or treat a partial page as a complete listing. Futures require an eligible Ultra plan or higher and use opaque cursor pagination. |
