add_reduce_margin

Add or reduce margin for a position in isolated margin mode. Provide symbol, category, and margin amount (positive to add, negative to reduce).

Instructions

Add or reduce margin for a position (isolated margin mode).

Args: category: Product type: linear, inverse. symbol: Symbol, e.g., BTCUSDT. margin: Positive to add (e.g., "10"), negative to reduce (e.g., "-10"). position_idx: 0: one-way, 1: hedge-Buy, 2: hedge-Sell (default: 0).

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. The description does not disclose mutational side effects, authorization needs, rate limits, or what happens upon success/failure. The mention of 'isolated margin mode' provides some context but is insufficient.

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 concise with a clear opening line and a structured parameter list. Every sentence adds value, no redundancy.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Parameter semantics are well-covered, but the description omits overall behavioral context like result format, error handling, or prerequisites. Without an output schema or annotations, more completeness would be beneficial.

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

Parameters5/5

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

With 0% schema coverage, the description adds essential meaning: explains category options (linear/inverse), symbol format, margin sign convention, and position_idx values with default. This fully compensates for the schema's lack of descriptions.

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?

The description clearly states 'Add or reduce margin for a position (isolated margin mode)', specifying the verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools that deal with orders, leverage, or other settings.

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 explains margin positive/negative to add/reduce, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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