Tools for live sports betting odds, best available lines across books, fair-value edges, and historical odds from TheOddsAPI. Call list_sports first if you are unsure of a sport_key. To keep responses small, pass a short `bookmakers` list to get_odds (e.g. 'pinnacle,draftkings,fanduel').
Known tools 7
