Buy versus sell pressure

qmax_get_flow
Read-onlyIdempotent

Buy and sell volume (QU and units), trade counts and net pressure (positive = more buying) over the last hour or 24 hours, for one asset or the whole market. Direction is the taker's side. 'partial' is true while the server is still loading the window.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds meaningful context beyond that: it explains that direction is the taker's side, that positive net pressure means more buying, and that 'partial' indicates the server is still loading the window.

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?

The description is front-loaded with what the tool returns, followed by two short clarifying sentences about direction and the partial-loading flag. It is appropriately sized with no wasted wording.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given full schema descriptions and rich annotations, the description supplies the remaining important context: return metrics, windows, scope, sign convention, and partial-loading behavior. No output schema exists, and the description lists enough about the returned values 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 all three parameters are documented structurally. The description reinforces the asset/market scope and time windows but does not mention the venue parameter or add syntax beyond what the schema already provides.

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 clearly specifies the resource: buy/sell volume, trade counts, and net pressure over 1h or 24h for one asset or the whole market. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools such as qmax_get_tape or qmax_get_order_book, so it falls short of a 5.

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 makes the scope and windows clear, implying when the tool is useful, but it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance or alternatives versus sibling tools. Usage is inferable but not stated.

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