get_twap_orders

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

The description discloses that it requires PEAR_API_KEY and that it returns active orders with chunk execution and fill details, which adds value beyond the empty annotations. However, it does not mention rate limits, pagination, or other potential behavioral traits.

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 only two sentences, front-loads the action, and contains no extraneous words. Every sentence serves a purpose: defining the operation and specifying the authentication requirement.

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 there are no parameters and no output schema, the description provides sufficient context about what is returned (active orders with details). Could be improved by noting if pagination exists or if there are limits, but overall adequate for a simple list endpoint.

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?

There are zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter semantics, so baseline 4 is appropriate. It adds no extra param info, but none is needed.

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 clearly states the action (list), the resource (active TWAP orders on Pear Protocol), and scope (authenticated user's). It distinguishes from siblings by specifying TWAP orders, which none of the other tools explicitly mention.

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?

The description implies it is for listing TWAP orders, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_open_orders or get_trade_history. No when-not-to-use or exclusion criteria are given.

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