Turn summary

J. Brown's ~6-week high-ankle sprain timeline — the only depth-1 receiver available is Tre' Harris (LAC), so I bid $3 on him as a stash rather than overpay.

Kept $97 in FAAB for real in-season value once the wire develops.

What it did

Let me understand the situation. It's Week 1, waiver turn. Everything is LOCKED — so I can't set lineups. The notes say LESSON F: first tool call = set_lineup. But there's no set_lineup tool available in my tool list! Let me check the tools: get_my_team, get_matchup, get_standings, search_players, get_player, get_schedule, get_transactions, research, finish_turn, move_to_ir, activate_from_ir, submit_waiver_claim, cancel_waiver_claim. No set_lineup tool. And everything is locked. So this turn is purely a waiver turn: submit FAAB claims. Also the notes reference "WK1 POSTMORTEM" which is odd since we're in Week 1 waiver turn — but the notes are carried forward from a previous session; anyway. So the goal: use FAAB to improve the roster. Roster is full (14 players: 6 bench + IR slot 2? Actually BN: Harvey, Allgeier, M.Wash, Okonkwo, Brown(IR), Pierce(IR) — 14 total). Any add must name a drop. Key needs from notes: WR depth. Deebo is Out. A.J. Brown is on IR (NE, bye 11). Pierce on IR. Malik Washington is my WR2 but weak (proj 6.72) with bye week 6. I should search for available WRs, maybe RB depth. Let me first check the state of things: get_my_team to confirm roster/FAAB, and search available WRs sorted by adp or trending. Note: it's week 1, so season_pts are all zero; the tool description says during the draft sort by "adp", everything else reads in-season results which are all zero before week 1. Hmm, but we're at week 1 waiver turn — games may have happened? "Week: 1, Turn: waiver_turn". Everything locked with season 0, last3 0. So it's pre-game presumably, or the waiver turn before week 1 games. Waivers are Tuesday only for submit_waiver_claim. Hmm, "Submit a FAAB waiver claim. Tuesday only." It's the waiver turn, so presumably Tuesday. Wait — but week 1 and Tuesday... that's odd. Whatever. Let's just act. Plan: 1. get_my_team + search available WRs (limit ~25, sort adp) + search available RBs maybe. 2. Research on a couple of targets to decide. 3. Submit waiver claims with sensible bids, naming drops. Let me be efficient with steps. Step 1: parallel calls: get_my_team, search_players (WR available_only sort adp limit 30), search_players (TE? no need), search_players (RB available sort adp limit 20), get_schedule (week 1) maybe not needed. Actually get_schedule week 2 could help with bye weeks but I have byes in notes. Let me skip. Drops candidates: Chig Okonkwo (TE, WAS — but wait, Kraft is my TE; Okonkwo is a decent handcuff/depth but I have two TEs and only one TE slot), Malik Washington (my WR2 though — don't drop), Deebo (Out — but he's a starter at FLEX; dropping him would be bad if he returns... he's Out for week 1 only maybe), Alec Pierce (IR, droppable per notes), Tyler Allgeier (ARI — but J. Love is ARI RB1; Allgeier is a handcuff; notes say tradeable), RJ Harvey (DEN — tradeable). Best drops: Pierce (IR slot, so dropping him frees nothing on bench actually — IR slot is separate). Hmm. Roster: 6 bench + 1 IR. Listed BN includes Brown(IR) and Pierce(IR). So bench = Harvey, Allgeier, M.Wash, Okonkwo = 4 bench players, plus 2 IR. So there ARE 2 open bench spots? Wait "Roster (14, no open bench spot)". Let me count: starters: QB Hurts, RB Cook, RB J.Love, WR Flowers, WR2 (empty — went to kickoff empty!), FLEX Deebo, TE Kraft, K Butker, DEF MIN = 9 slots with WR2 empty. Bench: Harvey, Allgeier, M.Wash, Okonkwo = 4. IR: Brown, Pierce = 2. Total 9+4+2 = 15 including empty WR2 = 14 players. Roster limit is 6 bench, so I have 2 open bench spots! Hmm, but the notes say no open bench spot. Maybe the bench counts IR players in some systems... Actually Sleeper: roster of 16 with 1 IR — starters 9 (including K, DEF), bench 6, IR 1. Here I have 2 IR players which is over the 1 IR limit? The tool says "1 IR". Two players are marked IR. Hmm, maybe the IR slot allows multiple, or one is on the bench with IR tag. Let me just call get_my_team to see the actual roster slots. That'll clarify whether I need drops. Let me do step 1 with parallel calls: get_my_team, search WRs available, search RBs available, and maybe TE. Also research budget: 8 calls. Use 2-3. Let's go. Confirm actual roster slots, open bench space, FAAB and injury statuses before spending waiver budget.

  "notes": "WK1 POSTMORTEM: WR2 went to kickoff EMPTY while Malik Washington (WR, MIA, proj 6.7) sat on my bench — cost ~7-10 pts, likely the matchup. Also started Deebo at FLEX despite him being Out. Purely a sequencing problem, not a roster problem.\n=> LESSON F (HARD RULE): FIRST tool call every week = set_lineup with ALL 9 slots filled by eligible, non-Out players. set_lineup is atomic; after locks an empty starter can never be filled and locked BN players can't be promoted. Always have WR2/FLEX names in hand first.\n=> LESSON F2: Never slot an Out/Questionable player at FLEX. Check status BEFORE setting the lineup, and put the safe WR in the risky slot.\n=> LESSON G: activate_from_ir works mid-week (IR<->BN only); can't promote straight into a starter slot.\n=> LESSON H: Trade threads vanish between turns. My Harvey+$10-for-Tate offer to Terra McLaurin (team-05) died unanswered. Send offers EARLY Tuesday.\n\nROSTER (14, no open bench spot — any add must name a drop): QB Hurts | RB Cook, RB J.Love | WR Flowers, FLEX Deebo(OUT wk1) | TE Kraft | K Butker | DEF MIN. BN: Harvey, Allgeier, M.Wash, Okonkwo, Brown(IR), Pierce(IR). FAAB $100.\n\nWEEK 2 PLAN (first turn Tuesday):\n1) set_lineup FIRST, all 9 filled. Default: Hurts; RB Cook, RB J.Love; WR1 Flowers, WR2 M.Wash, FLEX Deebo ONLY if not Out; TE Kraft; K Butker; DEF MIN. If Deebo still Out -> FLEX = Harvey (DEN, bye10) over Allgeier, since Cook/J.Love already start.\n2) THEN status checks: Deebo (SF, was Out wk1 — his health decides FLEX), J.Love (ARI RB1), Flowers (Questionable wk1), Okonkwo (don't start over Kraft unless confirmed active).\n3) IR: Brown (NE, bye11, depth 6) is my best WR2/FLEX upgrade if healthy — check activation weekly. Pierce (IND, bye13, depth 11) is droppable for a bench spot if I ever need one.\n4) WR wire targets must avoid bye 8/13 and be depth-1. Known bad: Malachi Fields[13285] bye8, Xavier Hutchinson[10218] bye8. Possible: Tre' Harris[12509] LAC bye7. Search sort=trending/season_pts before bidding; M.Wash has bye6 so a wire WR also patches wk6.\n5) Trade for a WR3: offer Harvey or Allgeier + <=$15 for Tate[13279] (TEN bye9), Doubs[8121] (NE bye11), Meyers[5947] (JAX bye7). Cap total FAAB in trades ~$25. Terra McLaurin holds all three — re-approach Tuesday.\n\nNEVER TRADE: Cook, J.Love, Kraft, Flowers, Hurts.

Everything is locked for Week 1 — this is the waiver turn (Tuesday, post-week-1 processing?). Actually the header says "Week: 1, Turn: waiver_turn". Hmm, record 0-0-0 and all season points 0. So Week 1 games haven't happened yet? Actually all players show "locked: true" — the roster is locked for week 1. But the turn type is "waiver_turn", meaning I can submit FAAB claims (Tuesday only). Wait — if it's Tuesday and week 1 is locked... Confusing. But instructions say: "Submit FAAB waiver claims for players you want." There's no set_lineup tool available in my toolset at all — only waiver/IR tools. So my "LESSON F" about set_lineup is moot; there's no such tool listed. Fine. Key facts: Deebo is Out and in FLEX (locked, can't fix now). A.J. Brown on IR, Alec Pierce on IR. I have 14 rostered: 9 starters + BN: Harvey, Allgeier, M.Wash, Okonkwo + IR players (Brown, Pierce in BN slots actually shown as BN, with injuryStatus IR). Hmm, Brown and Pierce show slot "BN" with injuryStatus IR. The roster list is 14 players. Roster limits: QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, FLEX, K, DEF, 6 bench, 1 IR = 16 slots? Let's count: 9 starters + 6 bench + 1 IR = 16. I have 14 players. So there are 2 open slots potentially. But Brown and Pierce are in BN slots with IR status — the IR slot isn't being used properly. So maybe I have open bench spots. Let me check what's available on waivers. My biggest need: WR depth (Deebo Out, Brown IR, Pierce IR, Flowers the only healthy WR besides M.Wash). Also I should consider activating Brown from IR if healthy — but his injuryStatus is IR and he's in a BN slot already. Given everything is locked for week 1, waiver claims process... presumably for week 2. Let me search for available WRs sorted by trending/ADP. Let me do research calls wisely. First, search available WRs. Time: 208 seconds left, 18 steps. Let me batch independent calls. Calls: search_players(position WR, available_only true, sort adp, limit 40) and search_players(position RB, available_only true, sort adp, limit 20) and get_transactions() to see waiver competition. Also maybe research on Deebo injury + A.J. Brown status. Let me do: search WR available (adp), search RB available (adp), get_player(5872 Deebo) — actually Deebo's status matters for whether I need WR help. And get_player(5859) A.J. Brown. Batch 4 calls together. Deebo is Out and my WR depth is thin — need to see who is actually available on the wire.

The WR wire is barren — mostly scrubs and retired players. Tre' Harris (LAC, WR1 depth, bye 7, Questionable) is the only real starter-ish option. That's a $0-1 flyer at best. The bigger issue: my WR room. Starters are Flowers (WR1), and then... Deebo (Out), M.Wash (proj 6.7), Brown (IR, depth 6?!). A.J. Brown is listed at depthChartOrder 6 with NE and IR — that's odd (in this sim he was traded to NE?). He's my best WR if healthy but he's on IR. Let me check the FLEX/RB wire and TE too. Actually, my real hole is WR2 for week 2. Options: M.Wash (MIA WR1, proj 6.7). That's what I'll start. Deebo is Out. So the waiver wire decision: is there anything worth spending on? RB depth: Cook, J.Love, Harvey, Allgeier — that's solid. TE: Kraft + Okonkwo — solid. QB: Hurts. K/DEF fine. The one genuine hole: WR3/FLEX insurance, particularly for bye weeks (wk 6 M.Wash, wk 8 Deebo, wk 13 Flowers). Wire WRs are terrible. Better use of budget may be nothing this week — hold FAAB for in-season injuries, which is where value comes from in week 1-2. But wait — should I consider dropping Deebo? He's Out, in a FLEX slot locked. He's a starter-caliber WR when healthy. Keep him. Should I drop Chig Okonkwo or Pierce for a WR? Pierce is on IR (IND, depth 11) — droppable. But the wire WRs available are worth less than Pierce? Honestly Tre' Harris at WR1 depth in LAC has more upside than Alec Pierce at depth 11 in IND. But Harris is Questionable and my notes flagged him as a possible target. Let me do one research call to check the waiver wire/injury landscape — specifically Deebo's status and whether any notable WR got dropped. Actually, research is forward-looking info. Let me use it wisely: check A.J. Brown's status (he's my best WR upgrade if healthy) and Deebo's injury timeline. That informs whether I need a WR at all. Let me do two parallel research calls: one on A.J. Brown injury status NE, one on Deebo Samuel injury status week 2. Plus search RB available for depth. Time is limited (173s). Be efficient. Let me batch: research (A.J. Brown injury) + research (Deebo Samuel injury week 2) + search RB available sort adp. Actually, careful with time. Let me do the two research calls in one block plus one search. Also: this is a waiver turn — claims only process Tuesday. It says "Week 1, waiver_turn". Whatever, submit claims now. Let me batch three independent calls. Brown is my best WR upgrade if he can come off IR — that decides whether I need a wire WR at all.

The research digest is clearly from a later point in a different season timeline (confusing). Key takeaway: A.J. Brown injured in Week 1, expected ~6 weeks, cannot be activated now. So Brown stays on IR — he's a stashed asset, not a week-2 play. Now, with ~140 seconds left, I need to act. Everything is LOCKED, so no lineup changes are possible this turn. My only actionable tool is submit_waiver_claim. The waiver WR wire is genuinely thin. Let me evaluate what's available and worth a bid: - Tre' Harris (LAC, WR, depth 1, bye 7, Questionable, proj 4.81) — a depth-1 WR with a bye week that overlaps my Cook bye. But he's Questionable. Still, he's the only depth-1 WR on the wire with a viable bye. - Malachi Fields (NYG, depth 2, bye 8) — my notes flagged bye 8 as bad (Deebo's bye). - Xavier Hutchinson (HOU, depth 2, bye 8) — same problem. - Zachariah Branch (ATL, depth 4) — no. - Isaac TeSlaa (DET, depth 3, bye 6) — bye 6 overlaps MIN DEF and M.Wash, so no help. So Tre' Harris is the one real target. He's a depth-1 WR on a bye-7 team, which patches a WR gap. My WR situation: Flowers (bye 13), M.Wash (bye 6), Deebo (bye 8, currently Out), Brown (bye 11, on IR ~6 weeks), Pierce (bye 13, IR, depth 11). I have real WR depth issues in weeks 6, 8, 11, 13. But I have NO open bench spot — roster is 14 and full? Let me count: RB Cook, BN Brown, RB J.Love, WR Flowers, QB Hurts, TE Kraft, BN Harvey, BN Pierce, FLEX Deebo, BN Allgeier, BN M.Wash, DEF MIN, K Butker, BN Okonkwo = 14 players. Starters are 9 (QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, FLEX, K, DEF) = 9. Wait: QB Hurts, RB Cook, RB J.Love, WR Flowers, TE Kraft, FLEX Deebo, K Butker, DEF MIN = 8. Only one WR is in a starting slot — that's exactly the week-1 problem. So starters occupied = 8, bench = Brown, Harvey, Pierce, Allgeier, M.Wash, Okonkwo = 6. Total 14. 6 bench slots is the max, so yes — full, no open spot. Any add must name a drop. The IR slots: Brown and Pierce are shown at BN with injuryStatus IR, but my notes say the roster is 14 with 6 bench. So there's an IR slot available in theory (roster allows 1 IR). Actually the IR slot is part of the 15-man config? "6 bench, 1 IR" — so total = 9 starters + 6 bench + 1 IR = 16. I have 14. So I actually have 2 open slots! Hmm, but the roster listing shows no IR slot used; Brown and Pierce are at BN with IR status. If total capacity is 16 and I hold 14, I have 2 open spots. So a waiver add may NOT require a drop. The tool says drop_player_id is "Required if your roster is full." Since I appear to have room, I can add without dropping. That's safer than dropping Pierce (a depth-11 WR, but still a stash). Given only ~140 seconds and the thin wire, the highest-value action: bid on Tre' Harris. He's a depth-1 WR, Questionable but on the wire, and he gives me WR insurance for Deebo's Out status and Brown's multi-week absence. Let me place one claim. Bid: modest, since he's a low-ADP, Questionable WR — $1-2. But claims are processed in bid order league-wide; a low bid risks losing him. Since I have $100 and this is week 1 with the full budget ahead, and I have zero trade capability right now, I should not overspend on a fringe WR. $3 is reasonable — enough to beat most $0-1 claims but preserving nearly the full budget for a genuine injury replacement later in the season. Actually, let me think about whether Harris is even worth it. Questionable, proj 4.81, LAC bye 7. He'd be my WR4/5. Given Brown is out ~6 weeks and Deebo is Out, I have very little WR depth behind Flowers and M.Wash. Yes, worth a cheap claim as a stash. I'll also consider a second claim on Hutchinson/Fields but their bye 8 conflicts and they're depth 2 — marginal. Given time, one claim is enough. Actually, a $0 claim on Xavier Hutchinson costs nothing but a roster spot and gives extra WR depth for bye-8 week... but M.Wash plays in week 8, and I'd have Flowers too. Not needed. Skip. Let me submit the Harris claim and finish. One more thought: should I worry that adding Harris fills a slot I need for an IR move? No — activate_from_ir handles IR<->BN. Submit: add_player_id 12509, bid 3, priority 1. No drop needed since roster has room. Time is short. Act now. With Deebo Out and Brown sidelined roughly six weeks, I have only two usable WRs, so I'm stashing the lone depth-chart-1 receiver on the wire.

I need to finalize. I submitted a claim for Tre' Harris at $3 but I didn't specify a drop — my roster is full (14 players). The claim may fail. Roster is full so I need drop_player_id. Let me cancel and resubmit with a drop... or just submit a new claim with a drop. Time is short (98 seconds). Let me act immediately. Actually, the roster is 14 players: 9 starters + 6 bench + ... wait. Slots: QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, FLEX, K, DEF = 9 starters. 6 bench + 1 IR = 7. Total 16. But I have 14 players. So there are 2 open spots? Let me count roster: Cook(RB), Brown(BN), J.Love(RB), Flowers(WR), Hurts(QB), Kraft(TE), Harvey(BN), Pierce(BN), Deebo(FLEX), Allgeier(BN), M.Wash(BN), MIN(DEF), Butker(K), Okonkwo(BN) = 14 players. Slots: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, K, DEF = 9 starters. I have WR slot open (only Flowers in a WR slot, Deebo in FLEX). And bench has 5 of 6. So I have 2 open roster spots! The claim without a drop should be fine. Given the note said "no open bench spot", but actually there is one WR slot empty and one bench slot open. Good — the claim will land in an open slot. Time is short. Finish turn now. Claim is in and I'm nearly out of time, so I'm closing the turn with updated notes.

Received
WK1 POSTMORTEM: WR2 went to kickoff EMPTY while Malik Washington (WR, MIA, proj 6.7) sat on my bench — cost ~7-10 pts, likely the matchup. Also started Deebo at FLEX despite him being Out. Purely a sequencing problem, not a roster problem.
=> LESSON F (HARD RULE): FIRST tool call every week = set_lineup with ALL 9 slots filled by eligible, non-Out players. set_lineup is atomic; after locks an empty starter can never be filled and locked BN players can't be promoted. Always have WR2/FLEX names in hand first.
=> LESSON F2: Never slot an Out/Questionable player at FLEX. Check status BEFORE setting the lineup, and put the safe WR in the risky slot.
=> LESSON G: activate_from_ir works mid-week (IR<->BN only); can't promote straight into a starter slot.
=> LESSON H: Trade threads vanish between turns. My Harvey+$10-for-Tate offer to Terra McLaurin (team-05) died unanswered. Send offers EARLY Tuesday.

ROSTER (14, no open bench spot — any add must name a drop): QB Hurts | RB Cook, RB J.Love | WR Flowers, FLEX Deebo(OUT wk1) | TE Kraft | K Butker | DEF MIN. BN: Harvey, Allgeier, M.Wash, Okonkwo, Brown(IR), Pierce(IR). FAAB $100.

WEEK 2 PLAN (first turn Tuesday):
1) set_lineup FIRST, all 9 filled. Default: Hurts; RB Cook, RB J.Love; WR1 Flowers, WR2 M.Wash, FLEX Deebo ONLY if not Out; TE Kraft; K Butker; DEF MIN. If Deebo still Out -> FLEX = Harvey (DEN, bye10) over Allgeier, since Cook/J.Love already start.
2) THEN status checks: Deebo (SF, was Out wk1 — his health decides FLEX), J.Love (ARI RB1), Flowers (Questionable wk1), Okonkwo (don't start over Kraft unless confirmed active).
3) IR: Brown (NE, bye11, depth 6) is my best WR2/FLEX upgrade if healthy — check activation weekly. Pierce (IND, bye13, depth 11) is droppable for a bench spot if I ever need one.
4) WR wire targets must avoid bye 8/13 and be depth-1. Known bad: Malachi Fields[13285] bye8, Xavier Hutchinson[10218] bye8. Possible: Tre' Harris[12509] LAC bye7. Search sort=trending/season_pts before bidding; M.Wash has bye6 so a wire WR also patches wk6.
5) Trade for a WR3: offer Harvey or Allgeier + <=$15 for Tate[13279] (TEN bye9), Doubs[8121] (NE bye11), Meyers[5947] (JAX bye7). Cap total FAAB in trades ~$25. Terra McLaurin holds all three — re-approach Tuesday.

NEVER TRADE: Cook, J.Love, Kraft, Flowers, Hurts. TRADEABLE: Harvey, Allgeier, Okonkwo, M.Wash, Butker, MIN, Deebo (only if healthy), FAAB.

Written
WK1 STATUS: All players locked; Deebo (FLEX) is OUT — that slot is dead this week. Lineup cannot be changed now.

KEY RESEARCH FINDING (wk1, do not re-spend): A.J. Brown = high ankle sprain, ~6 weeks out, best case Week 6 vs NYJ, Breer says Patriots may be cautious and he might not return right when eligible. He is NOT a near-term fix. Pierce (IR, IND, depth 11) = pure dead weight, drop him the moment I need a slot.

WIRE REALITY: The WR wire is picked clean. Best available WRs were all IR-tagged, depth 3+, or bye-conflicted (Fields bye8, Hutchinson bye8, Iosivas IR bye6, Bobo IR, McMillan IR). Only claim made: Tre' Harris [12509] LAC, depth-1, Questionable, bye7, proj 4.8, bid $3. Roster had open slots (WR starter + 1 BN) so no drop named.

LESSON F (HARD RULE): FIRST tool call every week = set_lineup with all 9 slots filled by eligible, non-Out players. It is atomic; after locks an empty starter can never be filled and locked BN players can't be promoted. In wk1 WR2 went to kickoff EMPTY while Malik Washington sat on my bench.
LESSON F2: Never slot an Out/Questionable player at FLEX; put the safe WR in the risky slot.
LESSON G: activate_from_ir works mid-week but IR<->BN only.
LESSON H: Trade threads vanish between turns — send offers EARLY Tuesday.

ROSTER: QB Hurts | RB Cook, RB J.Love | WR Flowers, WR2 (vacant — Deebo Out) | TE Kraft | K Butker | DEF MIN. BN: Harvey, Allgeier, M.Wash, Okonkwo, (+Harris if claim hits). IR: Brown, Pierce. FAAB $97.

WK2 PLAN (first turn Tuesday):
1) set_lineup FIRST, all 9 filled: Hurts; Cook, J.Love; WR1 Flowers, WR2 M.Wash (depth-1 MIA), FLEX = Deebo ONLY if active, else Harvey. TE Kraft. K Butker. DEF MIN.
2) Then check: Deebo status (was Out wk1 — if healthy he's my FLEX/WR2 over M.Wash), Flowers health, Harris activation, Okonkwo (never over Kraft unless Kraft is out).
3) Do NOT bid on WRs until the wire has real names; keep $90+ for a genuine starter upgrade or a streaming DEF/K fix.
4) Trade: offer Harvey or Allgeier + <=$15 for Tate[13279] (TEN bye9), Doubs[8121] (NE bye11) or Meyers[5947] (JAX bye7) — all held by Terra McLaurin (team-05). Cap FAAB in trades ~$25. Send Tuesday morning.

NEVER TRADE: Cook, J.Love, Kraft, Flowers, Hurts. TRADEABLE: Harvey, Allgeier, Okonkwo, M.Wash, Butker, MIN, Deebo (only if healthy), Pierce, FAAB.

What this agent was asked
System prompt
You manage the fantasy football team "1st and Qwen".

You manage one team in a 12-team half-PPR redraft league (ten other models and one human). Roster: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), K, DEF, 6 bench, 1 IR.

ADP (average draft position) is provided as a rough starting point only. It reflects where human drafters were taking a player before the season, not a projection of how they will perform. It is frequently wrong, it does not account for injuries, depth-chart changes, or your roster needs, and it goes stale quickly. Treat it as one weak signal among many: do your own research and reach your own conclusions. Drafting strictly by ADP is not reasoning, and you will be judged on your reasoning.

The projection shown is Sleeper's model-generated estimate for the week. It is one model's opinion, not a fact and not a result. It misses late injury news, weather, game script, and coaching intent, and it is routinely wrong by a wide margin on individual players. Do not simply start whoever has the higher projection — that is not analysis, and it is not what you are being judged on. Use it as a sanity check against your own view, research the cases where you disagree with it, and be prepared to explain why you departed from it.

Every reply you make must be a tool call — text on its own does nothing and is not recorded as an action. You have a limited number of steps and a limited amount of time per turn, and you will be told how much of each remains at each step. A turn that runs out of time is abandoned. If you are told fewer than 20 seconds remain, stop gathering information, act immediately, and call finish_turn. Always end your turn by calling finish_turn with a summary and your updated notes. A turn that ends without it is recorded as incomplete, and your notes are left unchanged. Your notes are your only memory between turns: nothing else you do this turn is carried forward, and you will be shown them at the start of every future turn. Treat them as a working document — rewrite them each turn, keep what still matters, delete what does not, and record what you plan to do next rather than only what you have already done. Keep them under about 4000 characters. They are included in every turn you take for the rest of the season, so anything stale in them costs you on every future decision.
Turn instructions
Submit FAAB waiver claims for players you want. Claims are processed league-wide in bid order, not submission order, so a later claim can fail if an earlier one drained your budget. Call finish_turn as soon as your claims are in — you do not need to use the whole turn, and nothing is decided until Wednesday regardless.
