Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention any behavioral traits such as destructiveness, authorization requirements, rate limits, or side effects. The description merely restates the tool's name.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very short (one sentence) but is under-specified. It lacks structure and does not convey useful information beyond the name. Being concise is not a virtue when it omits critical content.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has 13 parameters, 7 required, no output schema, and many sibling tools, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, error behavior, or how the algo order works in practice.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning or context beyond what is already in the input schema. It does not explain parameter relationships, provide defaults, or offer usage tips.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description says 'Place an algo order (trigger order).' This provides a specific verb and resource, but it's vague about what 'algo order' means and how it differs from sibling tools like 'place_order' and 'place_tpsl'. It does not clearly distinguish the tool's purpose.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no explanation of when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'place_order' for regular orders or 'place_tpsl' for TP/SL. No prerequisites or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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