getPendingOrders

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

Discloses default and maximum time range, which is useful. However, with no annotations, the description does not cover behavior like pagination, read-only nature, or rate limits. Adequate but not comprehensive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose. No wasted words. Every sentence adds value.

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

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

With 7 parameters, 2 required, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers only the time range. Missing details on filtering, pagination, and return structure. Incomplete for effective tool use.

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

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

Schema coverage is 0%, and the description adds no explanation for any of the 7 parameters (status, beginTime, endTime, tokenId, side, page, size). Agents must infer meaning from names alone, which is insufficient.

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

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

Clearly states the action (get a list), the resource (pending P2P orders), and provides specific scope (default 90 days, max 180 days). Distinguishes from sibling tools like getAllOrders by specifying 'pending P2P orders'.

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

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

Implies use for pending P2P orders, but offers no explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like getOpenOrders, getOrderList. No exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.

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