buy_multiple_orders

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

No annotations and no behavioral details. The description does not disclose side effects, idempotency, auth requirements, or any constraints beyond the action. Lacks transparency for a mutation tool.

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 extremely concise but at the expense of clarity. One vague sentence does not earn its place; it should provide more useful information without being verbose.

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 no output schema, 5 parameters including an array, and complex domain (trading orders), the description is insufficient. It lacks details on return value, execution behavior, or constraints.

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?

Only 1 of 5 parameters has a description in the schema (20% coverage). The description adds no explanation of parameter roles (e.g., 'market', 'outcome', 'order_ids', 'total_usdb'). Minimal value beyond schema.

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 'Sweep multiple orders at once' is somewhat vague; 'sweep' is not a standard verb and does not clearly convey the action (e.g., execute, buy, fulfill). It distinguishes from 'buy_order' but lacks precision.

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 guidelines on when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., 'buy_order', 'buy_orders_and_contract', 'pm_buy_multiple_orders'). The description does not provide context for selection.

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