postCryptoLoanFlexibleBorrow

Destructive

Borrow crypto with flexible hourly interest and repay anytime without penalty. Ideal for short-term borrowing and avoiding fixed-term commitments.

Instructions

Borrow crypto with flexible hourly interest rates.

Features:

  • Private endpoint (authentication required)

  • Hourly floating interest rate

  • Repay anytime without penalty

  • Interest calculated hourly based on actual borrowing duration

  • Support multiple collateral currencies

  • Rate limit: 1 request per time window per UID

Use Cases:

  • Short-term borrowing with flexible repayment

  • Avoid fixed-term commitment

  • Take advantage of hourly rate changes

Important:

  • Interest rate may change hourly

  • Calculate LTV to ensure sufficient collateral

  • Check loanable-data endpoint for current rates

Agent hint: Error 148049 ("This service is not available in your region") is a regulatory region restriction, NOT a parameter problem. Do not retry, do not adjust parameters, and do not suggest a different currency or term — report to the user that crypto loan is unavailable in their region.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description discloses several behavioral traits: it is a private endpoint requiring authentication, has a rate limit of 1 request per time window per UID, calculates interest hourly, and allows penalty-free repayment. It also warns about region restrictions via error 148049. These go beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true) by providing actionable details on authentication, rate limits, and error handling. No contradictions 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 clear sections (Features, Use Cases, Important, Agent hint) and is front-loaded with the core purpose. It contains several bullet points that each provide value—rate limits, error handling, and LTV advice are all useful. It is slightly long but every sentence earns its place; no redundancy or fluff.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The description covers all essential aspects for an agent to call this tool correctly: authentication requirements, rate limits, interest rate behavior, collateral considerations, and a specific error handling instruction. It even addresses a common failure mode (region restriction) with explicit guidance. Given there is no output schema, the description does not need to explain return values, and it provides sufficient context for both when and how to use it.

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 25% (only 'confirm' has a description). The description adds some context by mentioning 'multiple collateral currencies' and advising to 'Calculate LTV to ensure sufficient collateral', which indirectly explains the purpose of collateralList. However, it does not explicitly describe loanCurrency, loanAmount, or the structure of collateralList. Given the low coverage, the description partially compensates but leaves parameter meaning somewhat implicit.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Borrow crypto with flexible hourly interest rates.' It specifies the verb (borrow), resource (crypto), and key characteristics (flexible, hourly interest). The feature list further distinguishes it from sibling tools like postCryptoLoanFixedBorrow by emphasizing flexible terms and hourly rates, so an agent can easily tell this from fixed borrowing tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description provides explicit use cases ('Short-term borrowing with flexible repayment', 'Avoid fixed-term commitment') and instructions to check the loanable-data endpoint for current rates. It also includes a critical agent hint about handling error 148049 as a region restriction, which prevents incorrect retries. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use this tool (e.g., if a fixed term is preferred), though the use cases and naming imply the distinction.

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