cancelAllSpreadOrders

Destructive

Cancel all open spread trading orders across all symbols or for a specific symbol. Use for bulk order clearing or emergency risk management.

Instructions

Cancel all open spread trading orders, optionally filtered by symbol.

Usage Scenarios:

  • Cancel all open spread orders across all symbols by setting cancelAll to true.

  • Cancel all open orders for a specific spread symbol by providing symbol.

  • Emergency risk management: quickly flatten all open spread orders.

Important:

  • When symbol is provided, cancelAll is disregarded and only orders matching the symbol are cancelled.

  • When symbol is omitted and cancelAll is true, all open orders across all symbols are cancelled.

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

Agent hint: POST endpoint requiring authentication. When symbol is provided, cancelAll is ignored. When symbol is omitted and cancelAll=true, all orders are cancelled. Response is asynchronous -- use WebSocket to confirm.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already mark this as destructive and non-read-only, and the description adds important behavioral context: the endpoint is asynchronous and final status must be confirmed via WebSocket. It also clarifies the surprising precedence behavior where cancelAll is ignored when symbol 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.

Conciseness3/5

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

The content is well-structured and front-loaded, but the 'Agent hint' section largely duplicates the 'Important' section. This redundancy means not every sentence earns its place, though the overall organization remains clear.

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?

For a destructive bulk-cancel endpoint with three parameters and no output schema, the description covers the key facts: what gets cancelled, how filtering works, the precedence rule, authentication requirement, and asynchronous confirmation via WebSocket. An agent has enough to invoke it correctly.

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?

The description adds crucial meaning beyond the bare schema for symbol and cancelAll, including their interaction and precedence. The confirm parameter is already thoroughly documented in the input schema, so the description does not need to repeat it.

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 states a specific action ('Cancel all open spread trading orders') with optional symbol filtering, which clearly identifies the tool's resource and scope. It is readily distinguishable from siblings like cancelSpreadOrder and cancelAllOrders because it explicitly targets spread orders.

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?

Usage scenarios explicitly define when to cancel all symbols versus a specific symbol, and the precedence rule ('When symbol is provided, cancelAll is disregarded') gives clear operational context. It does not name alternative sibling tools or state when not to use them, but the behavior is unambiguous enough for selection.

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