order_create

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the default dry-run behavior and the multiple gates required for real execution. However, it lacks details about side effects, return value, or what happens on failure, which would further improve transparency.

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

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

The description is two sentences with no redundant words. The first sentence clearly states the core function; the second packs key usage conditions efficiently. Every sentence adds value.

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

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

Given the tool's complexity (4 parameters, 1 required, nested request object, no output schema), the description is insufficient. It does not explain the structure of the 'request' object, what confirmation entails, or the response format. This leaves significant ambiguity for an agent.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains dryRun's role and mentions confirmation, but does not clarify the 'request' object (which is required and nested with additionalProperties) or accountSeq. This partial coverage earns a 3.

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

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

The description clearly states 'Create an order' as a verb+resource combination. Among sibling tools like order_modify, order_cancel, and order_preview, this uniquely identifies the creation action, distinguishing it effectively.

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

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

The description explicitly details when to use the tool: default dry-run mode, and the conditions for real execution (ENABLE_TRADING, ENABLE_ORDER_CREATE, dryRun=false, confirmation, amount, and symbol gates). This provides clear context and exclusions for safe invocation.

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