executePurchase

Destructive

Place a buy order to purchase on-chain tokens with payment tokens after obtaining a valid quote and explicit user confirmation. Returns an order number to track status via the order list.

Instructions

Place a buy order to purchase on-chain tokens with payment tokens. Returns an orderNo that can be used with getOrderList to track order status.

Prerequisites (mandatory):

  1. Call getTradeQuote first to get quoteData, correctingCode, and gas

  2. Display quote details (amount, fees, slippage) to user

  3. Obtain explicit user confirmation

AI agent must obtain explicit user confirmation before calling this endpoint.

Response is an acknowledgment only — use getOrderList to confirm actual order status. On-chain confirmation typically takes 10-60 seconds.

Do NOT call this endpoint directly without a valid quote. All of quoteData, correctingCode, and gas must come from a non-expired getTradeQuote response.

Agent hint: Use this endpoint to execute a buy trade after getting a quote and user confirmation. Never call without user approval. Always call getTradeQuote first. Do NOT use this for selling — use executeRedeem instead. Do NOT guess or fabricate quoteData/correctingCode values — they must come from getTradeQuote.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false), the description discloses that the response is only an acknowledgment, that getOrderList must be used to confirm actual status, and that on-chain confirmation takes 10-60 seconds. It also emphasizes the mandatory user-confirmation gate, which is critical for a destructive action. 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 description is well-structured with bolded prerequisites, warnings, and an agent hint, making key constraints easy to find. It is somewhat repetitive — 'obtain explicit user confirmation', 'never call without user approval', and 'always call getTradeQuote first' appear multiple times — but for a high-risk financial execution tool, this repetition is acceptable and reinforces safety.

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 10-parameter endpoint with no output schema, the description provides the full operational flow: quote prerequisite, user confirmation, response behavior, order tracking, latency, and the selling alternative. It is missing details on quoteMode and tenant semantics, and exact slippage formatting, but the critical execution and safety context is present.

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 10% schema description coverage, the description partially compensates by explaining that quoteData, correctingCode, and gas must come from a non-expired getTradeQuote response, and that confirm is tied to explicit user approval. However, it leaves quoteMode and tenant unexplained, and does not specify slippage format or how the enum values map to behavior. The most opaque non-schema-documented parameters are not fully covered.

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?

Opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Place a buy order to purchase on-chain tokens with payment tokens.' It clearly differentiates from the sell path by saying 'Do NOT use this for selling — use executeRedeem instead.' An agent can tell exactly what this tool does and what it is not for.

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?

Provides explicit, numbered prerequisites: call getTradeQuote first, display quote details, obtain user confirmation. It also states when NOT to use it ('Do NOT use this for selling'), names the alternative (executeRedeem), and forbids direct calls without a valid quote. This is exemplary usage guidance.

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