Enable an AI agent to recognise Estonia's senior men's national association football team, assess its sporting and operational state, and determine which actions require association authority or competition approval.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Enable an AI agent to recognise Estonia's senior men's national association football team, assess its sporting and operational state, and determine which actions require association authority or competition approval.
It can be Resolve a reference to Estonia's national team to this senior men's entity or flag a youth, women's, club or historical-identity ambiguity.; Reconcile official Estonia squad announcements, withdrawals and replacements into a dated view of selection and availability.; Check whether evidence supports a player's eligibility and registration for a specified Estonia fixture, escalating unresolved cases.; Assess Estonia's competition position and calculate conditional progression scenarios from sourced rules and results.; Prepare match-readiness checks and proposed squad or schedule changes for the appropriate team authority.; Summarise Estonia's performance over a declared period while preserving match-status and historical-continuity boundaries..
Distinguishing features
Represents Estonia at senior men's association football level; an Estonia youth or women's side fails this test even when it shares association branding.
Has a national representative mandate and selects eligible players across clubs; an Estonian club competing internationally fails this test.
Persists across coaching changes, squad turnover and international windows; a single call-up list or matchday lineup is a temporary state of this team.
Is the representative playing organisation, rather than the football association that governs it or a supporters' organisation.
Requires an evidenced continuity relationship for historical Estonia representative sides; a shared country name alone does not establish an uninterrupted sporting record.
