Set Saxo Session TradeLevel

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

The description discloses that the tool modifies the session trade level and returns confirmed capabilities. It adds value beyond annotations by noting the policy requirement for LIVE, which supplements the destructiveHint annotation. No contradiction is present.

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 consists of two concise sentences with no extraneous information. The first sentence covers purpose and return, and the second adds a critical usage condition. This is appropriately front-loaded and efficient.

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 the absence of an output schema, the description mentions the return of 'confirmed session capabilities', which is sufficient for understanding the tool's output. It also covers the key policy constraint. However, it could be slightly more detailed about the effects or return structure.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should explain the parameters. It only implicitly mentions the two enum values for 'tradeLevel' but does not describe 'confirmTimeoutMs' (integer, default 10000ms). This is insufficient for an agent to understand the parameters without schema help.

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 verb 'Set', the resource 'session TradeLevel', and the two possible values 'FullTradingAndChat' or 'OrdersOnly'. It also mentions the return of confirmed session capabilities, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'saxo_get_session_capabilities'.

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 includes a crucial usage condition for LIVE environments requiring a specific policy, which provides clear context. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use this tool or suggest alternatives like the read-only 'saxo_get_session_capabilities'.

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