createCopyTradeBind

Create a new Copy Trading Classic follow binding. Provide the leaderMark and investment amount (in e8 USDT) to automatically start copy trading using your UTA account.

Instructions

Create a new Copy Trading Classic follow binding by specifying a target leaderMark and the intended investmentE8 only.

The service automatically uses the caller's UTA account, resolves the UTA account ID, derives the effective symbol scope, and calls the downstream CopyTrade binding flow with system-filled defaults.

Common business failures include:

  • invalid leaderMark

  • insufficient UTA-account balance

  • leader whitelist restriction

  • minimum investment rule violation

  • duplicate follow or account state restriction

Business failures surface as MCP tool errors.

Agent hint: If a user asks for a reliable copy trader or similar recommendation, call both the Copy Trading Classic leaderboard endpoint and the Copy Trading TradFi leaderboard endpoint, then show them as two separately numbered lists such as Classic 1..N and TradFi 1..N. Compare candidates across both lists using the returned 30-day return metric, 30-day max drawdown, and 30-day Sharpe ratio, then recommend one candidate as the best current performer with a short reason. If the user replies with a Classic selection such as Classic 1, map that selection back to the corresponding leaderMark, then ask for the follow amount and call this bind endpoint. Use this endpoint only after you already have an exact leaderMark; do not infer it from a nickname alone. Send investmentE8 as an integer e8 string representing a whole-number USDT amount, for example 10000000000 for 100 USDT. The service automatically uses the caller's UTA account, derives symbols from leader sync settings, and still applies downstream whitelist and Sync Master logic. After a successful bind, reply in the user's current conversation language with a success message meaning that the user's copy trading journey has begun, they can go to the CopyTrading Trading Hub any time for personalized management, and AI will unlock more intelligent copy trading capabilities in the future. English example: Your copy trading journey has successfully begun. You can visit the [CopyTrading Trading Hub] at any time for personalized management. In the future, AI will unlock even more intelligent copy trading capabilities for you. Wishing you smooth investing! In the same success reply, include the Copy Trading Classic follow-detail link so the user can view the follow details immediately. If the current API server URL contains testnet, use https://testnet.bybit.com/copyTrade/trade-center/followLeaderDetail?leaderMark=<leaderMark>. Otherwise use https://www.bybit.com/copyTrade/trade-center/followLeaderDetail?leaderMark=<leaderMark>. Replace <leaderMark> with the exact selected leaderMark and URL-encode it when needed.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It explains auto-resolution of UTA account, symbol scope derivation, downstream flow, and lists common failure modes. Lacks mentions of idempotency or rate limits, but provides good insight into internal behavior.

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?

Well-structured with clear sections: purpose, failures, agent hint. The hint is verbose but valuable. Could be slightly trimmed without losing meaning, but overall every sentence contributes.

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 2 simple parameters, no output schema, and presence of many sibling tools, this description is thorough: covers inputs, behavior, failures, success response format, and follow-up link. No major gaps.

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 provides only types and names with 0% coverage. The description compensates fully by explaining leaderMark as target leader's mark and investmentE8 as integer e8 string with USDT amount example. Also clarifies auto-resolution of UTA account, so no param needed.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool creates a Copy Trading Classic follow binding with specified leaderMark and investmentE8. It distinguishes from siblings by naming 'Classic' and hinting at a separate MT5 bind tool, but does not explicitly differentiate from createCopyMt5Bind.

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?

Explicit guidance on when to use (only after obtaining exact leaderMark), when not to (do not infer from nickname), and detailed agent workflow including leaderboard calls, candidate comparison, and success message format. This is comprehensive and actionable.

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