• cricket_build_dream11_teamFree

  Recommend an optimal fantasy XI + captain + vice-captain for one fixture. Args: match_id: CricAPI match identifier; resolves team_a/team_b/venue automatically. team_a: First team code/name (e.g. ``MI``). Required if match_id is absent. team_b: Second team code/name (e.g. ``CSK``). Required if match_id is absent. venue: Venue key/name (e.g. ``wankhede``). Required if match_id is absent. strategy: ``"balanced"`` only in Phase 2; future variants reserved. Returns: data.players: 11 picked players with name/role/credits/team/projected_points. data.captain: name of the chosen captain. data.vice_captain: name of the chosen VC. data.total_credits: sum of credits used (<= 100). data.total_projected_points: fantasy points including C x2 and VC x1.5 boosts. meta.estimated: true — projections are model output, not a fantasy oracle. Example: cricket_build_dream11_team(team_a="MI", team_b="CSK", venue="wankhede") cricket_build_dream11_team(match_id="abc123")

• cricket_captain_recommendationFree

  Return the top-3 captain candidates ranked by projected points. Args: match_id: CricAPI match identifier; resolves team_a/team_b/venue automatically. team_a: First team code/name. Required if match_id is absent. team_b: Second team code/name. Required if match_id is absent. venue: Venue key/name. Required if match_id is absent. Returns: data.candidates: list of 3 dicts with name/role/team/projected_points. meta.source: model:captain_score. meta.estimated: true.

• cricket_differential_picksFree

  Suggest low-ownership picks with positive projected upside. Ownership is *estimated* — proxied by credit weight (lower-credit players tend to have lower ownership), not real ownership data. Flagged ``estimated: true`` in the response. Args: match_id: CricAPI match identifier; resolves team_a/team_b/venue automatically. team_a: First team code/name. Required if match_id is absent. team_b: Second team code/name. Required if match_id is absent. venue: Venue key/name. Required if match_id is absent. ownership_threshold: percent ownership cap; affects estimated label. Returns: data.picks: list of {name, role, team, credits, projected_points, estimated_ownership_pct}. meta.source: model:captain_score (filtered). meta.estimated: true.

• cricket_find_value_betsFree

  Compare model probabilities against market-implied IPL odds. Requires THEODDS_KEY. NOTE: cricket has no calibrated team-strength model wired yet (unlike the football Elo/Poisson path), so this tool currently returns an EMPTY ``value_bets`` list — scoring an edge against a neutral 50/50 prior would flag every market underdog, which would be misleading. It still reports how many events were screened so callers know odds were available. For raw de-vigged prices use ``cricket_get_live_odds``. Real edge detection lands when a cricket win model is wired (see cricket_head_to_head). Args: team: Optional team name to filter events (case-insensitive substring). Omit to scan every IPL odds event. min_edge: Minimum edge (model_prob - devigged_market_prob), 0..1. Default 0.05. Currently informational only (no bets emitted). Returns: data.value_bets: always ``[]`` until a cricket model is wired. data.events_analysed: count of events screened (both teams present). data.model: ``"neutral_baseline"``. data.note: why no bets are emitted. meta.estimated: true.

• cricket_get_live_matchesFree

  Return all currently live cricket matches across all series. Returns: data.matches: list of live match objects (team names, score, status). meta.source: which adapter served the response. meta.is_stale: true if data is from stale cache.

• cricket_get_live_oddsFree

  Return live market head-to-head odds for upcoming/live IPL matches. Sourced from The Odds API (requires THEODDS_KEY). Without a key the call returns a clean ALL_SOURCES_FAILED envelope rather than crashing. Args: team: Optional team name to filter events (case-insensitive substring, matched against both sides). Omit to return every IPL event. The Odds API uses its own opaque event ids, so a CricAPI match_id cannot be resolved to an event yet — filtering is by team name. Returns: data.events: list of {event_id, home, away, commence_time, bookmakers: [{name, home, away}]} with decimal h2h prices per bookmaker. meta.source: adapter that served the data (theodds / cache:stale).

• cricket_get_pitch_reportFree

Series ID to pull the tournament-specific squad. If omitted, falls back to static seed data. Returns: data.players: list of players with name, role, and credits. meta.source: adapter that served the data (cricapi / static_seed).

• cricket_head_to_headFree

  Compare two cricket teams head-to-head using squad form and player stats. Args: team_a: First team code or name (e.g. "MI", "India"). team_b: Second team code or name (e.g. "CSK", "Australia").

Args: player_a: Player ID or name for the first player. player_b: Player ID or name for the second player. Returns: data: {matchup_type, edge_holder, edge_reason, signals, role_a, role_b}. meta.estimated: true — heuristic model, not ball-by-ball H2H data.

Returns: data: {legs, legs_used, combined_odds, combined_model_prob, combined_edge, risk_flag, independence_warning}. meta.estimated: true.

• football_find_value_betsFree

  Surface the largest gaps between the model's win probability and the market. De-vigs each market's 1X2 decimal odds (removes the margin so implied probabilities sum to 1) and compares them to this server's own match-outcome probabilities — the same Elo/Poisson path ``football_match_predictor`` uses. Where the model probability exceeds the de-vigged market probability by at least ``min_edge``, the outcome is flagged with its edge and the model's fair odds.

Returns: data.fixtures: page of {home, away, date/group, status, home_goals, away_goals}. data.pagination: {total, count, offset, limit, has_more, next_offset}. meta.source: adapter that served the data (static_seed = group schedule only).

• football_get_match_statsFree

  Return a team's aggregate World Cup tournament statistics. Network-only enrichment: requires a configured API-Football (or football-data.org) key. There is no offline static fallback, so without a key the call returns a clean ALL_SOURCES_FAILED envelope. Args: team: API-Football numeric team id (not a country code). Returns: data.team_stats: {team, played, wins, goals_for, goals_against}. meta.source: adapter that served the data.

• football_get_squadFree

  Return a national team's World Cup squad. Args: team: Team code or name (e.g. "ARG"). Without an API-Football key, the static seed serves an empty-but-valid squad (rosters are a follow-up). Returns: data.squad: list of {name, number, position, age}. meta.source: adapter that served the data.

• football_get_standingsFree

  Return current World Cup 2026 group standings. Args: limit: Max standing rows to return, 1..200 (default 50). offset: Number of rows to skip for paging (default 0).

Args: iterations: Number of tournament simulations (clamped to 100..20000; ~10000 gives stable ±2% probabilities). seed: Optional RNG seed for reproducible output. Returns: data.teams: {code: {reach_r32, reach_r16, reach_qf, reach_sf, reach_final, win}} sorted by win probability descending. data.champion: most likely winner. data.iterations: iterations run. meta.estimated: true. meta.conditioned_matches: completed matches locked in (played group results fixed, decided knockout ties locked).
