Resolve the team first

Team-scoped tools need a numeric team id and a sport slug, and team ids differ per school year — an id from a past season fails. Never guess one:

1. mpaz_resolve_team with a loose name ("varsity football", "girls JV volleyball"), or mpaz_list_teams to see them all.
2. Pass the returned id and sportSlug to mpaz_get_team_schedule / mpaz_get_roster / mpaz_get_scores.

If a team tool reports "Team … Not Found", the id is stale — re-resolve it for the year you're asking about.

Picking the right tool

• What's coming up across the school → mpaz_get_schedule. Returns a window of upcoming events, not a full season.
• One team's whole season → mpaz_get_team_schedule.
• Who coaches a team → mpaz_get_roster. Most teams publish coaches but not players, so an empty players list is normal.
• Results → mpaz_get_scores, but see the caveat below.
• News / broadcasts / photos → mpaz_list_news, mpaz_list_videos, mpaz_list_photo_galleries.
• Is it up? → mpaz_healthcheck.

Reading the results

• startLocal is the kickoff in the school's own time zone (timeZone, normally America/New_York) — quote it as-is. start is the same moment as a true UTC instant; do not convert startLocal, and don't read start as local time.
• isHome says whether Myers Park hosts; opponent is the other school; venue can differ from either on neutral sites.
• team is Myers Park's side of the fixture.
• Check isCancelled / isPostponed / isTba before stating a game is on.

Caveats worth stating out loud

• A null score is unknown, never zero. Each side is stored independently upstream, so 3-null and null-4 are common; result is null unless both sides are present. Never report a null as 0 or infer a win/loss from a half-entered game.
• Myers Park records few scores. Every completed game of theirs seen so far has null scores, so results may be missing across a whole season — say the school didn't record them rather than implying the games weren't played.
• Past seasons are partial. When the all-school schedule has nothing for a year, mpaz_list_teams falls back to the sport pages' cross-year selector — which is reached through a current team id, so only sports in season right now can be searched. The result carries a coverage note listing what was searched. An empty list there means "not reachable this way", not "the school fielded no teams" — say which, and don't let the answer imply a sport didn't exist.
• scored is not played. In mpaz_get_scores, scored counts games with BOTH sides recorded. Every game returned was played; the rest simply have no usable score.
• Broadcast links are NFHS Network links, not clips — videoLengthSeconds is always 0 and title is the team name. Don't report a 0-second video.
