Expose only required read operations to the agent runtime.
Give tool-calling agents a stable football data schema and explicit freshness signals. Stable IDs and a cache-first architecture keep your application insulated from the upstream provider.
Connect a server-side agent to the OpenAPI contract, keep the bearer key outside the model context, and expose only the operations the workflow needs.
Start with competition discovery, team lookup, and filtered fixtures. Handle 401, 429, and 503 responses explicitly instead of asking the model to improvise around failures.
Expose only required read operations to the agent runtime.
Use API responses as facts, then let the model summarize or transform them.
Read response headers and cache application-level results where appropriate.
