search_by_sketch

Search for historical patterns similar to a custom 'sketched' price trajectory (Sketch-to-Search). Useful when you want to find matches for a hypothetical or hand-drawn pattern.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMax matches to return
symbolNoReference symbol for scaleBTCUSDT
intervalNoReference interval1h
token_idNoOptional Manus access token. Paid tools use tokenized service access, not a monthly subscription: when token_id is omitted the server returns payment_required with a Solana Pay invoice, and after payment you retry with the same token while the server uses Manus token/resolve to recover pending access.
queryValuesYesArray of price points representing the sketched pattern (e.g. [10, 11, 10.5, 12])

B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It only says 'search,' implying read-only, but omits significant behavioral traits such as the token_id payment requirement (server returns payment_required if omitted), rate limits, or result format.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is brief and front-loaded with the main action. It wastes no words, though the parenthetical '(Sketch-to-Search)' could be considered slightly unnecessary.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description is too short to provide complete context. It fails to mention token/payment behavior, return details, or operational prerequisites, making it insufficient for a tool with this many parameters.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds minimal semantic value by referring to the sketched pattern, but doesn't elaborate on parameter syntax or relationships beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific action ('search for historical patterns') and resource ('custom sketched price trajectory'), distinguishing it from siblings like pattern_search by the input method. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or contrast behaviors.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives a clear when-to-use scenario ('useful when you want to find matches for a hypothetical or hand-drawn pattern'), but lacks explicit exclusions or direct comparison to sibling tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.2/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools inhabit overlapping territory: find_market_analogs, pattern_search, search_by_sketch, and get_candle_market_snapshot all relate to historical pattern matching, while get_trading_decision, get_trader_decision_v2, and get_live_polymarket_trade_decision all produce trade-oriented decisions. The descriptions add context, but an agent could still easily pick the wrong tool for a given request.

Naming Consistency3/5

The tools are consistently snake_case and mostly readable, but the naming conventions are mixed: many tools use get_<noun>, while others start with verbs like backtest, detect, find, forecast. Minor irregularities such as pattern_search and the v2 suffix in get_trader_decision_v2 also reduce predictability.

Tool Count4/5

Fifteen tools is within a reasonable size, and the server covers a broad domain: pattern search, regime detection, backtesting, track records, private datasets, live Polymarket decisions, and documentation. The count is not excessive, but some tools are functionally redundant enough that the set could be tightened.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers the main evidence workflow well: discovering patterns, analyzing analogs, backtesting strategies, checking track records, and producing trading decisions. Minor gaps remain around private dataset management and there is no separate low-level raw candle query tool, but most core user journeys are supported.
