Retrieve the player roster. Optionally filter by team_id to get a single team
AI agents call get_players to retrieve information from StatsPlus MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and queries existing player data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It matches the Read category definition: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects (search, list, get, fetch).' The optional filtering parameter does not change the fundamental nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieve the player roster' with optional filtering by team_id. This is a retrieval/query operation with no modification or side effects.
