Waiver Wire Scout

When the user asks about recent league activity, wants to scan the waiver wire, or is looking for overlooked pickups from other teams' drops, follow this workflow.

Step 1: Pull Recent Transactions

Call get_recent_activity with size=25 to see the latest league transactions — adds, drops, and trades.

Step 2: Load Your Context

1. get_my_roster — Current roster to identify needs
2. get_scoring_categories — The 14 H2H categories

If memory tools are available: 3. get_full_context — Watchlist, category trends, preferences, past roster moves 4. get_roster_moves — Your own recent moves to avoid re-adding someone you just dropped

Step 3: Identify Opportunities

Scan the recent activity for:

Dropped Players Worth Grabbing

• Players dropped by other teams who still have value
• Filter out players you recently dropped yourself (check memory)
• Focus on players with decent ownership % — if they were widely owned, the drop might be a mistake or a roster crunch move

Trade Fallout

• When teams make trades, they often need to drop roster players to make room
• These "trade casualties" can be valuable pickups

Trending Adds

• If multiple teams are adding the same position, there may be a scarcity developing
• If a player was added then quickly dropped, they might be underperforming expectations

Step 4: Evaluate Top Targets

For the 3-5 most interesting dropped or available players:

1. get_player_info for each — detailed stats, injury status, ownership trends
2. Map their production to the 14 H2H categories
3. Cross-reference with your category needs (from memory trends or current roster analysis)

Step 5: Present the Waiver Wire Report

Section 1: Notable Drops

List players recently dropped by other teams with:

• Player name, position, who dropped them
• Their season stats and category contributions
• Why they might have been dropped (injury? roster crunch? underperformance?)
• Whether they fit YOUR category needs

Section 2: Recommended Pickups

Rank the top 3 pickup targets:

1. Player name — Position, key categories they help
2. Who to drop — Suggest the weakest roster player at the same position or a bench spot
3. Category impact — Which of the 14 categories improve with this swap?
4. Urgency — High (someone else will grab them), Medium (worth claiming), Low (monitor)

Section 3: Players to Watch

Players who aren't must-adds right now but are trending:

• Recently called up prospects
• Players returning from injury
• Hot streaks on low ownership

Step 6: Save to Memory (if available)

• If the user picks someone up: save_roster_move with action="ADD" and save_roster_move with action="DROP" for whoever was dropped
• Add interesting players to add_to_watchlist with a reason (e.g., "Dropped by Team X, monitor for 1 week")
• Remove any watchlist players who were picked up: remove_from_watchlist
