createGridBot

Destructive

Create a spot grid bot for automated trading: set the symbol, price limits, grid count, and total investment. Add stop-loss, take-profit, or trailing controls to manage risk.

Instructions

Creates a spot grid bot with the specified trading pair, price range, grid count, and investment amount. Optionally supports entry price, stop-loss/take-profit, trailing stop, and grid trailing (auto-shift).

Prerequisites:

  • Call validateGridInput first to ensure parameters are valid.

  • User must be authenticated and pass KYC/compliance checks.

Returns grid_id on success. If the user is banned (status_code=421), ban_reason_text provides a localized explanation.

Rate limit: 3 qps per UID.

Agent hint: Always call validateGridInput before this endpoint. The symbol field uses uppercase format like "BTCUSDT". Use invest_mode to control whether to invest in quote only (0), base only (1), or both (2).

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate a destructive, non-read-only operation, and the description adds substantial behavioral context: returns grid_id, handles banned users with status_code=421 and ban_reason_text, limits to 3 qps per UID, and describes optional behaviors such as stop-loss/take-profit, trailing stop, and grid trailing. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

The opening sentence is front-loaded and immediately clear. The description is organized into prerequisites, return info, rate limit, and agent hint, with each section adding operational value. The agent hint partly repeats the validateGridInput prerequisite, but the overall structure remains efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a complex 21-parameter destructive creation tool with no output schema, the description covers prerequisites, return values, an error code, rate limits, and key parameter formats. However, it does not explain enough of the many optional and enum parameters for an agent to reliably construct all valid requests, so completeness is only partial.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is only 5%, so the description carries most of the parameter-semantics burden. It does add meaningful guidance for symbol format ('BTCUSDT') and invest_mode values (0/1/2). However, many non-obvious parameters such as create_type, block_source, source, channel, ts_percent, and limit_up_price remain unexplained, leaving a significant gap.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Creates a spot grid bot' with the trading pair, price range, grid count, and investment amount. This clearly differentiates it from sibling bot creation tools like createDCABot, createComboBot, and createFMartBot. The description also names the key return value, grid_id.

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?

Provides explicit guidance to call validateGridInput first and lists authentication/KYC prerequisites. The agent hint reinforces the precondition: 'Always call validateGridInput before this endpoint.' It does not explicitly discuss when not to use this tool or contrast with alternative bot creators, so it stops short of a perfect score.

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