Where Can I Watch This Game?

Recommended path: identify the right event -> get_watch_availability

Pick the right surface

Use get_watch_availability when the product needs a direct answer to where or whether the user can watch the selected sports entity.

Use list_programs_for_entity when product ops, QA, or editorial needs compact evidence rather than the normalized user-facing answer.

Use get_program_context when the product starts from a known program row instead of a sports entity.

If the event is ambiguous, use list_schedule to select the correct eventId first.
If the product already knows the eventId, skip resolution and schedule browsing.
If the product wants both normalized watchability and raw evidence, call the normalized tool first and use raw connectivity only for debugging or QA.

using a GSD-only event response as a where-to-watch answer
using raw linkage evidence when the experience really needs a normalized user-facing answer
