Tool to retrieve odds for a specific event. Use after confirming sport key via THE_ODDS_API_GET_SPORTS and event ID via THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENTS; mismatched values return empty payloads rather than errors.

Tool to fetch live and upcoming events for a specified sport. Use when you need event listings including odds. All timestamps are UTC. Avoid high-frequency polling; batch requests and implement backoff to prevent throttling.

Tool to fetch live and upcoming event odds for a specified sport, including bookmakers, regions, and markets. Use after retrieving sports via GET_SPORTS; filter by region, market, or event IDs. Response is nested bookmakers → markets → outcomes; not all bookmakers expose every market for every event, so handle missing keys and empty arrays defensively. Combining multiple regions, markets, and eventIds produces large payloads — narrow to one region or specific eventIds where possible.

Tool to fetch list of participants (teams or players) for a specified sport. Use after confirming you have a valid sport key.

Tool to return live and recently completed event scores for a sport. Use after selecting a sport key to inspect current and recent game scores. Missing results may indicate unsupported competitions, not absent events. When identifying specific fixtures, match by both team names and date to avoid confusion with multi-leg ties or similarly named teams.
