amendSpreadOrder

Destructive

Modify the price or quantity of an existing spread order without canceling it. Identify the order by order ID or link ID, and update only unfilled or partially filled orders.

Instructions

Amend (modify) the price and/or quantity of an existing spread trading order.

Usage Scenarios:

  • Adjust the price of an open limit order without cancelling and re-creating it.

  • Modify the quantity of an unfilled or partially filled order.

  • Use either orderId or orderLinkId to identify the target order.

Important:

  • Either orderId or orderLinkId is required to identify the order.

  • At least one of qty or price must be provided.

  • Only unfilled or partially filled orders can be amended.

  • Setting price="" (empty string) keeps the existing price unchanged.

  • Setting price="0" updates the price to zero.

  • The response is asynchronous; monitor the WebSocket for final status.

Agent hint: POST endpoint requiring authentication. Either orderId or orderLinkId is required to identify the order. At least one of qty or price must be provided. Only unfilled or partially filled orders can be amended. price="" keeps existing price; price="0" sets price to zero. Response is asynchronous.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as destructive, but the description adds valuable behavior beyond that: the asynchronous response requiring WebSocket monitoring, the empty-string vs '0' price semantics, and the state restriction to unfilled/partially filled orders. These are precisely the operational details an agent needs to avoid misusing a modifying endpoint.

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 description is well-organized with bold headers and bullets, front-loading the action and then key usage scenarios and important constraints. The final 'Agent hint' paragraph largely repeats the preceding bullets, which is redundant, but the structure keeps the essential information scannable.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The description covers all critical operational aspects for a mutation tool: target identification, required amendments, which order states are eligible, the special price semantics, auth requirement, and async notification behavior. With no output schema to describe returns, the WebSocket-final-status note closes the main remaining gap.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is only 17%, so the description carries the burden for the undocumented parameters. It explains the roles of qty, price, orderId, and orderLinkId, including the identification requirement and the special price sentinel values. The only remaining parameter without an explanation is the self-explanatory symbol, and confirm is fully documented in the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Amend (modify) the price and/or quantity of an existing spread trading order.' This clearly identifies the operation and distinguishes it from create/cancel spread order siblings, and the 'spread' qualifier separates it from the generic amendOrder tools.

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?

The description gives concrete usage scenarios (adjust price without cancel/re-create, modify qty) and explicit constraints (only unfilled/partially filled orders, orderId or orderLinkId required, at least qty/price). It does not explicitly contrast with batch/WebSocket sibling tools, but the context is clear enough for an agent to decide when this tool applies.

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