Unusual whale activity

whale_radar
Read-onlyIdempotent

Which coins have UNUSUAL whale flow right now, each against its own normal, over 1h, 4h and 24h, ranked by how far above normal (not by dollar size). For discovery when no coin is named.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains that results are 'ranked by how far above normal (not by dollar size)' and that each coin is compared 'against its own normal'. This clarifies the output ordering and normalization logic without contradicting the annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences, no filler. The first sentence front-loads the core query and key qualifiers (unusual, own normal, timeframes, ranking), while the second sentence gives the use case. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description is complete for a read-only discovery tool: it states the purpose, ranking logic, timeframes, and use case. The output schema covers return structure, and the input schema fully documents parameters. The only minor omission is a more explicit explanation of how 'unusual' is statistically measured, but 'against its own normal' is sufficient for an agent to call the tool correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description mentions the time windows (1h, 4h, 24h) which map to the window parameter, but it does not add anything beyond what the schema already states (e.g., 'Omit for all three'). No extra semantics are provided for limit, cursor, or detail, so the parameter meaning comes almost entirely from the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'Which coins have UNUSUAL whale flow right now'. It clearly defines the scope (unusual relative to each coin's own normal), the timeframes (1h, 4h, 24h), and the ranking criterion (by how far above normal, not dollar size). The closing phrase 'For discovery when no coin is named' distinguishes it from sibling tools like whale_activity, which likely requires a coin name.

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 explicitly states the primary use case: 'For discovery when no coin is named.' This gives clear context for when to choose this tool over others. However, it does not explicitly name an alternative or state a when-not condition, leaving the distinction from whale_activity implicit rather than direct.

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