Questions about get_year

What does the get_year tool do? +

Look up Statbotics season summary statistics for a single FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) year. Returns aggregate metrics for the game played that year: EPA (Expected Points Added) percentile breakpoints (mean, median, 75th/90th/95th/99th), score component averages, foul rates, RP (ranking point) rates, and the count of teams, events, and matches recorded. Use this to answer questions like "what was the average score in the 2024 FRC season?", "what EPA put a team in the top 10% in 2019?", or to calibrate per-year scoring before comparing teams across seasons. Data is available for years 2002 onward; pre-2016 seasons have less detail because the EPA model was less granular. For comparing many seasons in one call, use get_years instead. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Statbotics MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
