get_indexer_api_info

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Get information' reasonably implies a read-only, low-risk metadata lookup, but the description does not confirm retrieval semantics, describe the shape of what is returned, or note any preconditions. For a low-risk info tool this is adequate but thin.

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?

One front-loaded sentence that names the resource and its content areas with no filler. The trailing parenthetical is slightly awkward but earns its place by pointing at the endpoint parameter.

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 two-optional-parameter metadata tool this covers the core purpose and schema is fully documented. However, with no output schema, the description does not say what 'information' looks like (endpoint listing vs schema docs), leaving the agent to infer the return shape.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and both parameters are well documented in the schema, so baseline is 3. The description reinforces that 'endpoint search' is a valid path and that rankings are accessible this way, but adds no syntax or filterable-field detail beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

States a clear verb+resource: retrieves information about the Orderly Indexer API. It names the specific API surface (trading metrics, account events, trades, volume statistics), which distinguishes it from sibling API-info tools like get_orderly_one_api_info or get_public_info_api_info. It does not explicitly contrast with those siblings, keeping it just short of a 5.

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 parenthetical hint that rankings endpoints are reachable 'via endpoint search' implies how to broaden queries, but there is no explicit guidance on when to pick this tool over get_api_info or search_orderly_docs. Usage is implied rather than stated.

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