Interpreting user query

I need to understand the user's question in Chinese about comparing Manchester United's upcoming Premier League fixtures with Chelsea, Aston Villa, and other rivals. This usually means I'll need updated sports schedule data since the current date is December 29, 2025, and my last knowledge cutoff was October 2024. It looks like I may need to fetch this data via network, and I should clarify if it's alright to do so based on the sandboxing rules in place.Clarifying user request

The instructions suggest that for simple tasks, I could run commands like "date." However, this request is more complex. I need to ask the user for clarification on the time window and what teams they consider "rivals" beyond Chelsea and Aston Villa. Do they want the next five matches, a difficulty comparison, or details on home/away games? It might be best to provide a few options and ask if I can fetch the latest fixtures to create a comparison table. Let's ensure we capture what they need accurately!Detailing user preferences

I think I need to ask the user how many fixtures they want to compare and if they want to include cup matches or just Premier League games. I should also clarify which teams count as "rivals" beyond Chelsea and Aston Villa and which difficulty metric they prefer. Alternatively, I could propose to compare the next five Premier League fixtures for Manchester United, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Newcastle, and West Ham. I should ask if I can fetch live data to create a detailed comparison based on these preferences.Formulating clarifying questions

According to the guidelines, if approvals are on-request, I should specify this in the tool call, but it's likely simpler to directly ask the user. I’ll pose a concise set of clarifying questions: "How many fixtures do you want to compare? Should I only focus on the Premier League? Which teams do you consider as 'rivals'? Do you want difficulty assessments and details on home versus away games? I can fetch the schedule in real-time." I can also suggest proceeding with the default option of the next five league matches and including Tottenham, Newcastle, and West Ham as rivals for European spots.
