Ranking Smart Money by PnL

smart_traders_and_funds_pnl_leaderboard

Read-only

Rank smart trader addresses (EXCLUDES whales, large holders, influencers, etc.) by realized, unrealized and total USD PnL over a 1/7/30/90/180 day window, with ROI, win rate and trade counts. Use this to find the best performing smart money wallets; use token_pnl_leaderboard for the best performers on one specific token.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, non-destructive, openWorld), so the description's added value is the entity-type exclusion rule and the set of returned performance metrics, both of which change how an agent interprets results. It stops short of noting pagination or result-size behavior, so not a 5.

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, both earning their place: the first front-loads scope, metrics and windows; the second routes the agent to the correct sibling. No filler or restatement of the title.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need not be spelled out, and the nested request object is fully documented in-schema. The description supplies the business-level semantics (who counts as smart money, what PnL variants exist); only minor gaps like paging behavior remain.

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% and each nested property (chains, orderBy, timeframe, orderByDirection, includeSmartMoneyLabels) is documented in the schema itself. The description restates the timeframe windows and metric names but adds no syntax or default guidance beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 (rank), resource (smart trader addresses), the metrics ranked (realized/unrealized/total USD PnL, ROI, win rate, trade counts), and the supported windows. It also declares a scope exclusion (whales, large holders, influencers), which sharpens what 'smart money' means here.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says when to use it ('find the best performing smart money wallets') and names the alternative ('use token_pnl_leaderboard for the best performers on one specific token'), giving the selecting condition rather than leaving it to inference.

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