Can I search for a specific player by name?

Yes! Use the `list_players` tool and provide the name in the `search` parameter. Your agent will return a list of matching players with their unique IDs and metadata.

How do I see the scores for all games played on a specific date?

Use the `list_games` tool and provide the date in the `dates` parameter (format YYYY-MM-DD). The response will include all games played on that day with their final scores.

Does the integration provide player season averages?

Absolutely. Use the `get_season_averages` tool by providing the specific season year and the player IDs. This will return averaged performance metrics for the requested period.
