Whale trades

get_whale_trades
Read-onlyIdempotent

Whale trades for any USDT perp: prints from the live trade tape above a USD threshold, with buy and sell totals, net flow and the dominant side. Costs 0.02 USDC per call (x402, USDC on Solana or Base).

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover safety (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, openWorld), so the bar is lower. The description adds genuinely useful behavior beyond them: a per-call cost of 0.02 USDC via x402 payable in USDC on Solana or Base, which materially affects invocation decisions. It stops short of rate limits or payment-failure behavior.

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, zero filler, and the most decision-relevant facts — what it returns and what it costs — are front-loaded. Every clause earns its place.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be enumerated, yet the description still summarizes the shape (buy/sell totals, net flow, dominant side). Combined with scope, threshold semantics and cost disclosure, an agent has everything needed to call it 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 (limit, symbol, min_usd) are already documented with ranges and defaults. The description's 'above a USD threshold' and 'any USDT perp' loosely echo min_usd and symbol but add no syntax or constraint detail 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.

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb+resource ('whale trades for any USDT perp') and defines scope precisely: prints from the live trade tape above a USD threshold. This distinguishes it in spirit from siblings like get_trade_context or get_recent_liquidations, but it never names an alternative, so the differentiation is implicit rather than explicit.

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?

Usage is implied — reach for this when you want large-size prints on a USDT perp — and the description notes the perp scope, but it gives no when-to-use versus when-not guidance and names no competing sibling. An agent must infer the boundary from the phrase 'whale trades' alone.

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