cancel_all_spread_orders

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

Description only says 'cancel', implying destructive action, but no details on scope (all symbols vs current symbol), irreversibility, or effect on existing orders. No annotations to supplement.

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?

Very concise, three lines. Front-loaded with main action. Could be slightly more structured but effective.

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 cancellation tool with only one parameter and no annotations/output schema, the description lacks important context like that it cancels only open orders, or the effect of not providing a symbol. Leaves several gaps.

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?

The description adds minimal meaning for the symbol parameter ('Filter by spread symbol (optional)'), but with 0% schema coverage, more detail is needed about valid values and behavior when omitted.

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?

Clearly states it cancels all spread trading orders with optional symbol filter. However, it could be more precise about 'all open spread orders'.

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 siblings like cancel_spread_order (single) or cancel_all_orders (all types). No exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.

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