amendOrder

Destructive

Modify an existing open order by updating its price, quantity, trigger price, or take-profit/stop-loss parameters. Identify the target order with its order ID or link ID; only unfilled or partially filled orders can be changed.

Instructions

Modify an existing open order. You can update price, quantity, trigger price, take-profit, and stop-loss parameters.

  • Either orderId or orderLinkId must be provided to identify the target order

  • Only unfilled or partially filled orders can be amended

  • For options, orderIv can be amended (pass actual value, e.g., 0.1 for 10%)

  • Response is acknowledgment only; confirm via WebSocket order stream

Agent hint: Use this endpoint to modify price, quantity, or TP/SL of an existing open order. TradFi: use category=spot for xStock tokens, category=linear for equity/commodity perpetuals.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag destructive=true, and the description adds real behavioral context: the target must be open, response is only an acknowledgement, and confirmation must come from the WebSocket order stream. It also clarifies that option IV uses a decimal value (0.1 = 10%). These are beyond the annotation flags.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The bullet list is scannable and front-loaded with the core action. Minor redundancy exists between the first sentence and the 'Agent hint' sentence, but no significant fluff.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a 17-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, the description provides the essential call constraints, eligibility condition, response behavior, and category note. It does not enumerate every parameter's semantics, but the important operational knowledge is present.

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 only 6%, so the description must carry param meaning. It does explain orderId/orderLinkId exclusivity, orderIv formatting, and category for TradFi, but it leaves several params (tpslMode, triggerBy, slTriggerBy/tpTriggerBy, limit price fields) to be inferred from names/enums.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The opening sentence states a specific action and resource: 'Modify an existing open order,' and enumerates the mutable fields (price, quantity, trigger price, TP/SL). It does not explicitly distinguish this tool from its batch or WebSocket siblings (wsAmendOrder, batchAmendOrders), so it misses the top-rung differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives concrete eligibility constraints: one of orderId/orderLinkId must identify the order, and only unfilled/partially filled orders can be amended. It also includes an agent hint for when to use it and category guidance for TradFi, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer wsAmendOrder or batchAmendOrders.

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