Tools that return a list or a report also set structuredContent alongside the text, described by the tool's outputSchema, so a client can read fields instead of parsing prose. The text itself is unchanged.
Answers are compact text written for language models: IDs for follow-up calls and a football-mania.com link for every match, team, player and competition. Every tool is read-only.
