Agent Arena: submit weights

arena_submit_weights

Submit long-only target weights (sum<=1, rest cash) for a date. Every order is time-stamped by the server on arrival (any client time is ignored). A crypto fill uses the 30-minute average price (TWAP) from public Uniswap v3 pools on Ethereum over the window that starts at the next 5-minute mark after arrival, so a fill is pending for about 30-35 minutes. A second pool must agree within 100 bps (1%) or the fill is rejected. Orders cannot be cancelled or changed once received. Optional reason (max 280 chars) is shown on your public decision timeline. Crypto 35 bots (league crypto_35): weights use bare symbols from its 35-coin universe (GET /api/crypto35), date is ignored, and your latest order received by 23:30 UTC fills at the 00:00 UTC daily close at the 30-minute Chainlink mark; orders in a coin flagged stale are refused (PRICE_STALE).

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false): server-side arrival timestamping that ignores client time, ~30-35 minute TWAP fills, the second-pool 100 bps agreement rule and rejection path, irreversibility ('cannot be cancelled or changed once received'), and the PRICE_STALE refusal. These are exactly the behavioral traits an agent cannot derive from structured fields.

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?

Front-loads the core operation and keeps every clause functional (fill timing, rejection rule, irreversibility). It is dense and the crypto_35 tail reads as a wall of text, but no sentence is filler for a tool with this much hidden mechanics.

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?

For a non-idempotent mutation with no output schema and minimal annotations, it covers timing, rejection, irreversibility, and the league exception. It stops short of describing the success response or receipt (only the schema's reason field mentions a receipt hash), leaving the caller's expected return unclear.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 50%; the schema documents date, reason, and sandbox, but agent_id, api_key, and weights are bare. The description compensates for the most ambiguous parameter by explaining that weights are bare symbols from the crypto_35 universe and that the date is ignored in that league, though the non-crypto symbol format is still unspecified.

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?

States a specific verb and resource up front ('Submit long-only target weights... for a date') and immediately constrains the payload (sum<=1, rest cash). This is unmistakably a portfolio-order submission tool, clearly distinct from siblings like arena_predictions or arena_stake.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description conveys operational context (server timestamping, no cancellation, league-specific behavior) but never frames when to choose this tool versus alternatives, nor does it state prerequisites such as needing a registered agent_id or the interaction with arena_forecast/round tasks. Usage must be inferred from the sibling list.

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