batchCancelOrders

Destructive

Cancel multiple specific Bybit orders in one API call using order IDs or order link IDs. Supports spot, linear, inverse, and option categories with per-order status confirmation.

Instructions

Cancel multiple orders in a single API call.

  • Max 20 orders per request for futures/options, 10 for spot

  • Each order requires either orderId or orderLinkId

  • Only unfilled or partially filled orders can be cancelled

  • Check retExtInfo.list[].code for per-order status

  • Response is acknowledgment only; confirm via WebSocket order stream

Agent hint: Use this endpoint to cancel multiple specific orders at once. For cancelling all orders, use cancelAllOrders instead. TradFi: use category=spot for xStock batch cancels, category=linear for equity/commodity perpetuals.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Despite destructiveHint already being true, the description adds substantial behavioral context: only unfilled or partially filled orders are cancellable, responses are acknowledgments only, per-order status must be checked via retExtInfo.list[].code, and final confirmation requires the WebSocket order stream. This is exactly the kind of non-obvious behavior an agent needs.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, then uses tightly scoped bullets for constraints and response semantics. The agent hint and TradFi note earn their place by aiding tool selection. No redundant or filler content is present.

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?

Given the lack of an output schema and the destructive nature of the operation, the description is remarkably complete: it covers limits, per-order status handling, acknowledgment-only semantics, alternative tool routing, and category mapping. The input schema already documents the confirm parameter's critical confirmation requirement, so that omission from the description is acceptable.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With only 33% schema description coverage, the description compensates well by explaining order identification requirements (orderId or orderLinkId), per-market batch limits, and category usage. However, the statement that each order requires either orderId or orderLinkId is not reflected in the schema's required fields, which only marks symbol as required; this minor inconsistency prevents a top score.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Cancel multiple orders in a single API call.' It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling cancelAllOrders via the agent hint, which says to use this endpoint for multiple specific orders and cancelAllOrders for cancelling all orders.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The agent hint explicitly states when to use this tool and when not to: use for multiple specific orders, use cancelAllOrders for all orders. It also provides concrete category guidance for TradFi use cases and per-market order limits, leaving little ambiguity about selection.

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