List Live Slate

Canonical tool name: list_live_slate Family: Resolution and Scope Tools

What this tool is best at

Return what is live or imminently live from GSD sports truth, with optional watchability overlay when the availability contract is provisioned.

Choose this tool when

Use it for what-is-on-now, live slates, and watchability-first entry points.
Source ownership: GSD Lookup primary, dedicated availability overlay optional

Use something smaller or different when

Do not use it to answer standings, historic season questions, or non-bounded schedule browse flows.

Inputs you need

Plain-English prerequisites

This tool does not require a prerequisite ID beyond the scoped inputs shown below.

Required inputs in the public contract

Input	What it means
`timeFrom`	Bounded window start. Use an ISO date or timestamp that matches the user’s browse moment or watchability horizon. Some tools require this field as part of the public contract.
`timeTo`	Bounded window end. Keep it tight enough that the request still represents one real product moment. Some tools require this field as part of the public contract.

Optional inputs in the public contract

Input	What it means
`sportId`	Resolved sport ref for a sport-wide live slate.
`competitionId`	Resolved competition ref when the live slate should stay inside one competition.
`competitionSeasonId`	Provider ref for one competition season. Use it when the host needs a season-specific table, ranking, structure, or roster context.
`seriesId`	Resolved series ref for a tour-wide or motorsport live slate.
`seriesSeasonId`	Provider ref for one series season. Use it when the host needs one tour season instead of the broader series.
`participantId`	Resolved participant ref when the live slate is anchored to one team or participant.
`limit`	Maximum number of rows to return. Keep it small for low-token UX and larger only when the UI truly needs a browse list.
`language`	Optional BCP 47 language hint such as `en-US`. Use it when the host needs translated provider output.

scope	Tool Catalog	Start from the smallest tool that can safely anchor the workflow, then deepen only if the user asks for more.
