getSpotBorrowQuota

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

Despite no annotations, description discloses key behavioral traits: returns two types of amounts (with/without borrowing), indicates borrowable coin, and states applicability. Clearly communicates read-only nature implicitly.

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?

Concise three-part structure: main line, bullet points of key returns, agent hint and TradFi note. Each sentence adds value, no redundancy. Front-loaded with primary purpose.

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?

For a simple query tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, description covers purpose, return content, usage context, and constraints. Lacks explicit return format or edge cases but sufficient for selection.

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%, so description must compensate. It adds meaning for symbol via 'applies to xStock tokens only', but for category it only repeats schema enum ('spot'), and side is unaddressed. Partial compensation.

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?

Clear verb 'Query' and specific resource 'borrowing quota for spot margin trading'. Description details returns (max tradeable quantity/amount with/without borrowing, which coin can be borrowed) and explicitly limits to spot category, distinguishing from sibling tools.

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?

Agent hint explicitly states when to use: 'check how much you can trade before placing a spot margin order'. Also notes non-applicability to equity/commodity perpetuals, providing clear context but no named alternatives.

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