closeGridBot

Destructive

Terminate a running spot grid bot and settle remaining assets by selecting a close mode—convert to base token, quote token, or keep as-is. Requires explicit user confirmation.

Instructions

Closes a running spot grid bot. You must specify a close_mode to determine how remaining assets are settled:

  • 1 (BIT_MODE): settle in BIT

  • 2 (BASE_MODE): convert all to base token

  • 3 (QUOTE_MODE): convert all to quote token

  • 4 (BASE_AND_QUOTE_MODE): return assets as-is, no conversion

The bot must be in a closeable state (NEW or RUNNING). Bots in CANCELLING or COMPLETED state cannot be closed again.

Rate limit: 3 qps per UID.

Agent hint: Use close_mode=3 (QUOTE_MODE) if the user wants to cash out to stablecoin. Use close_mode=4 if the user wants to keep both tokens.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, and the description adds valuable behavioral context beyond that: settlement behavior per close_mode, required bot state, and a rate limit of 3 qps per UID. There is no contradiction with annotations; the description enriches the agent's understanding of what happens when the tool is invoked.

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 well-structured: purpose statement, bullet list for close modes, state constraint, rate limit, and agent hint. Every sentence carries useful information without redundancy or fluff. The key decision-driving content is front-loaded.

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, state-dependent action with no output schema, the description covers purpose, parameter semantics for the most complex parameter, state preconditions, and rate limiting. The confirm parameter's high-risk requirement is already thoroughly documented in the schema. A minor gap is the lack of explicit guidance on how to obtain or validate grid_id, but this is secondary.

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 only 33% (only confirm is documented). The description fully compensates for close_mode by explaining each of the four enum values and adding usage hints for modes 3 and 4. grid_id remains underexplained, but its meaning is fairly inferable from the name and type plus the tool's purpose.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Closes a running spot grid bot.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like closeDCABot or closeFGridBot via the 'spot grid' qualifier. The subsequent state requirement (NEW or RUNNING) further sharpens the scope.

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 explicit when-not guidance by stating that bots in CANCELLING or COMPLETED state cannot be closed. It also provides agent hints for choosing close_mode based on user intent (stablecoin cashout vs keeping both tokens). It stops short of naming alternative tools for other bot types, but the 'spot grid bot' qualifier provides clear context.

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