cancelAllOrders

Destructive

Cancel all open orders on Bybit in one action by specifying category, symbol, or coin filters. Streamline bulk order management without targeting individual orders.

Instructions

Cancel all open orders matching the specified criteria.

  • For linear/inverse: must provide at least symbol, baseCoin, or settleCoin

  • For options: cancel all option orders without any additional filter

  • For spot: defaults to cancelling all regular orders

  • Use orderFilter to target specific order types (normal, TP/SL, stop, OCO)

  • Response is acknowledgment only; confirm via WebSocket order stream

Agent hint: Use this endpoint to cancel all open orders for a category/symbol at once. For cancelling a single order, use cancelOrder instead. TradFi: use category=spot to cancel all xStock orders, category=linear for equity/commodity perpetuals.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

DestructiveHint=true in annotations already marks the risk profile; the description adds useful behavior beyond that: the response is only an acknowledgment and actual cancellations must be confirmed via the WebSocket order stream. It does not repeat irreversibility, but the annotation covers that.

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 summary line is followed by tight bullets covering per-category behavior, filter usage, response semantics, agent routing, and TradFi mapping. Every line adds information; nothing is redundant with the schema or annotations.

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 destructive, no-output-schema tool, the description covers category-specific requirements, response semantics, and the key alternative (cancelOrder). The only notable omission is a direct explanation of stopOrderType and a more explicit mapping of orderFilter enum values to the named order types.

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?

Schema description coverage is low (only confirm is described), so the description must compensate. It does for most parameters by explaining the linear/inverse symbol/baseCoin/settleCoin one-of rule, category behavior, and orderFilter purpose. stopOrderType is left unexplained, though its single enum value limits ambiguity.

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 first sentence is a precise verb+resource statement: 'Cancel all open orders matching the specified criteria.' The category bullets further specify what 'all' means for linear/inverse, options, and spot, and the agent hint explicitly sets it apart from the single-order sibling cancelOrder.

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 description states exactly when to use this endpoint ('all open orders for a category/symbol at once') and when not to ('For cancelling a single order, use cancelOrder instead'). Per-category criteria requirements and orderFilter guidance leave no ambiguity about invocation context.

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