place_manual_sl

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose side effects, prerequisites, or error conditions. The example implies a write operation, but behavioral details (e.g., what happens on success/failure) are absent.

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 very concise—one sentence with an example. It front-loads the action and resource, but could be more efficient by omitting the example if space is critical.

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 and one parameter, the description lacks details about return values, prerequisites (e.g., login required), and what constitutes a valid command. It feels incomplete for a trading operation.

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%, but the parameter description 'Smart order string' is vague. The tool description adds concrete format ('NIFTY 24500 CE 30 SL 100'), which enriches understanding beyond the schema alone.

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 uses a specific verb 'Place' and resource 'manual Stop Loss order', with an example command that clarifies its purpose. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'place_auto_sl' by highlighting 'manual'.

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 when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided. The description does not differentiate context from siblings like 'place_auto_sl' or 'modify_sl', leaving the agent to infer usage.

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