cancel_all_rfqs

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

No annotations provided, and description only states the action. Discloses it cancels all open RFQs, which is destructive, but no mention of side effects, scope (user's own), or irreversibility. Adequate but minimal.

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?

Four words: no wasted text. Front-loaded and direct.

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?

Minimal for a simple bulk cancel tool with no params and no output schema. Lacks scope specification (all open RFQs for the user? globally?) and confirmation details. Adequate but could be improved.

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?

No parameters, so schema coverage is 100% trivially. Baseline 4 for zero-param tools applies; description adds nothing but also needs nothing.

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?

Description clearly states the action (cancel) and resource (all open RFQs). It distinguishes from siblings like 'cancel_rfq' (single RFQ) and 'cancel_all_rfq_quotes' (quotes).

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like 'cancel_rfq' or 'cancel_all_orders'. Usage is implied but not explicit.

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