createOrder

Destructive

Place a buy or sell order on Bybit for spot, linear, inverse, or option products. Supports market, limit, TP/SL, conditional orders; requires confirmation for irreversible actions.

Instructions

Place a new order on the Bybit exchange.

Spot: supports normal orders, TP/SL orders, and conditional (stop) orders via orderFilter
Linear/Inverse: supports one-way and hedge mode via positionIdx
Options: orderLinkId is required; implied volatility ordering via orderIv

Response is an acknowledgment only. Use WebSocket order stream to confirm actual order status.

Agent hint: Use this endpoint to place a new buy or sell order for spot, linear, inverse, or option products. TradFi: xStock tokens use category=spot (e.g. TSLAXUSDT); equity perpetuals and commodity perpetuals use category=linear (e.g. TSLAPUSDT, XAUUSDT, CLUSDT).

A3.9/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond the annotations: it notes that the response is only an acknowledgment and that the actual order status must be confirmed via the WebSocket order stream. It also discloses product-specific behaviors such as the required orderLinkId for options and the presence of orderFilter/positionIdx modes. This goes beyond the destructiveHint annotation and helps set expectations.

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 and front-loaded: a clear main sentence followed by concise product-specific bullets and a practical agent hint. Every line adds value, including the TradFi category mapping, without excessive prose or redundant restatement of the schema.

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?

Given the tool's high complexity (35 parameters, no output schema) and the absence of description coverage in the schema, the description provides essential context like the acknowledgment-only response, WebSocket confirmation, and TradFi mappings. Still, it does not explain many important behavioral aspects such as required field interactions, limit order price requirements, stop/TPSL parameter relationships, or risk context beyond the confirm flag. The description is useful but not fully complete for a tool of this complexity.

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?

With only 3% schema description coverage, the description carries a heavy burden for parameter explanation. It adds useful meaning for key parameters: category with TradFi examples, orderFilter for spot order types, positionIdx for hedge mode, and orderIv/orderLinkId for options. However, the majority of the 35 parameters, including price, qty, timeInForce, triggerPrice, and stopLoss, receive no semantic guidance in the description or schema. It partially compensates but is far from complete.

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 verb and resource: 'Place a new order on the Bybit exchange.' It then enumerates the product categories and order types covered, clearly distinguishing this from amendment, cancellation, and query siblings like amendOrder, cancelOrder, and getOrderList. The agent hint reinforces that this endpoint is for placing new buy/sell orders.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The agent hint explicitly says to use this endpoint to place a new spot, linear, inverse, or option order, and it provides TradFi category mappings. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use this tool or point to alternatives such as batchCreateOrders, wsCreateOrder, or createSpreadOrder, which could also create orders. The guidance is clear on what this tool is for, but lacks explicit exclusions or sibling routing.

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