get_token_trades

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden and largely fails it. It does not disclose the time window implied by 'recent', result ordering, pagination behavior, rate limits, or whether any authentication/chain constraints apply.

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?

It is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler, which is structurally sound. However, the brevity here reflects under-specification rather than disciplined conciseness, since essential information is simply absent.

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?

For a 4-parameter tool with two required arguments, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. An agent cannot determine pagination semantics, chain encoding, or result shape from anything provided.

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 nothing in the schema explains page, limit, chain, or tokenAddress semantics. The phrase 'for a specific token' loosely maps to tokenAddress, but chain (required, accepting string or number), pagination (page/limit), and their formats or defaults are entirely undocumented.

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 pairs a specific verb (trades retrieval) with a clear resource and scope (recent trades, for a specific token), so an agent can tell roughly what it returns. It offers no differentiation from nearby siblings such as get_trade_history or get_hl_trade_history, leaving ambiguity about which trade-listing tool to pick.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this tool versus the many sibling trade/history tools, and no prerequisites or exclusions. The single word 'Recent' is the only usage signal, and it is not defined.

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