createTwapStrategy

Destructive

Minimize market impact by splitting a large order into smaller timed chunks, executed evenly over a set period to achieve an average price.

Instructions

Creates a TWAP strategy that splits a large order into smaller chunks and executes them evenly over a specified time period to minimize market impact.

When to use:

  • You need to execute a large order without moving the market significantly

  • You want to achieve an average price over a specific time window

  • You need to avoid detection by splitting orders over time

Execution behavior:

  1. Total size is divided by (duration / interval) to calculate each order size

  2. Orders are placed at regular intervals (or randomized if isRandom=true)

  3. Each order can be market or limit order based on chase parameters

  4. Strategy stops when duration expires or size is fully executed

Important notes:

  • Minimum recommended duration: 300 seconds (5 minutes) for limit orders

  • Set maxChasePrice or triggerPrice for price protection

  • Enable isRandom to prevent strategy pattern detection

  • Rate limit: 10 requests per second per UID

Agent hint: Use this endpoint when user wants to execute a large order over time to reduce market impact. This is ideal for "buy 10 BTC over the next 5 minutes" type requests. Do not use if user wants immediate execution - use regular order creation instead.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as destructive and not read-only. The description adds substantial behavioral detail beyond annotations: chunk-size calculation, interval randomization, market/limit behavior, stop conditions, and the rate limit. This gives the agent a realistic model of what executing the tool does.

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 description is well-organized with bolded section headers and bullets, and the core purpose is front-loaded. It is somewhat long, and the 'When to use' bullets partly overlap with the 'Agent hint', but every section contributes meaningful guidance.

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 complex 16-parameter strategy-creation tool with no output schema, the description covers the algorithm, when to use it, when not to use it, safety-related notes, and rate limits. It does not describe the response shape or the detailed mechanics of chase parameters, but it is complete enough for correct selection and basic invocation.

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 6%, so the description carries most of the burden. It explains duration, interval, isRandom, triggerPrice, and maxChasePrice at a useful level, but leaves chaseDistance, chasePercentE4, reduceOnly, positionIdx, and leverageType largely implicit. It also calls the 300-second duration a 'recommendation' when the schema enforces it as a minimum.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Creates a TWAP strategy that splits a large order into smaller chunks...'. It clearly distinguishes itself from immediate order execution and, by naming the TWAP concept, separates itself from strategy siblings like chase or iceberg strategies.

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?

The 'When to use' section gives explicit conditions, and the agent hint adds a concrete example plus a direct exclusion: 'Do not use if user wants immediate execution - use regular order creation instead.' This is clear, actionable guidance.

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