getUserSettingConfig

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

Despite no annotations, the description fully discloses behavioral traits: it requires authentication, needs no parameters, returns the current account configuration, and maps internally to a specific Bybit API endpoint. This provides high transparency about the operation's read-only nature and prerequisites.

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?

The description is short, front-loaded with the main action, and uses bullet points for clarity. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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 parameterless query tool with no output schema, the description provides complete context: what it does, authentication requirement, no parameters needed, return type overview, and internal endpoint mapping. It provides enough information for an agent to select and invoke correctly.

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?

There are zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. The description correctly notes 'no query parameters,' which adds no additional semantics since the schema already indicates no parameters. Baseline for 0 params is 4.

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?

The description clearly states the tool queries user account setting configuration, listing specific settings like margin mode, account mode, and spot hedging. It uses a specific verb ('Query') and resource ('user account setting configuration'), which differentiates it from siblings like getAccountInfo that may return different account data.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., getAccountInfo). It mentions authentication requirement and no query parameters, but does not compare to siblings or advise when not to use it.

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