lol_get_champion_analysisReturns detailed champion stats (win/pick/ban rates), optimal builds (items, runes, skills, spells), skill combos, counter matchups, and team synergies for a specific champion and position. MUST call when user mentions any champion, asks for item/skill recommendations, gameplay tips, or matchup strategies. Counter picks available in weak_counters field; each counter includes my_win_rate and counter_win_rate for the head-to-head matchup. Infer position from context if not specified.lol_get_champion_synergiesReturns synergy recommendations (win rate + role fit) for your champion and the ally lane you specify.lol_get_lane_matchup_guideProvides lane matchup guidance for your champion versus a named opponent, including position-specific tips, runes, and item timings.lol_get_pro_player_riot_idLooks up a pro player alias and returns their Riot ID plus team/region metadata so you can link their OP.GG profile.lol_get_summoner_game_detailReturns full match detail (teams, participants, builds, bans) for a specific game id whenever the user drills into a single match. When the question is about one summoner's performance, also pass focus_riot_id ("gameName#tagLine"): the matching participant is flagged is_target=true — read the focused summoner's numbers from the participant row where is_target is true, never from a neighbouring participant.

MUST call for identity/profile/rank queries. DO NOT call for match history. Ask for region if not found.lol_list_aram_augmentsReturns ARAM augment stats for a champion with localized names and descriptions. Only tier 3 or higher augments are included.lol_list_champion_detailsReturns ability, tip, lore, and stat metadata for up to 10 champions (skins/media trimmed for smaller payloads).lol_list_champion_leaderboardLists the top master+ players for a champion/region so you can study their builds and match stats.lol_list_championsReturns every champion's id, key, name, and release date in the requested language.lol_list_discounted_skinsRetrieves information about champion skins that are currently on sale.lol_list_itemsReturns localized items (ids, names, descriptions, build trees, gold costs) filtered by map (default Summoner's Rift).- +17 more on the listing page
