wsCreateOrder

Destructive

Place a new order on Bybit V5 via WebSocket. Get immediate acknowledgment, then verify final status through order subscriptions or REST endpoints.

Instructions

Place a new order via WebSocket on Bybit V5 unified account.

IMPORTANT: This tool places/modifies real orders via WebSocket. Confirm symbol, side, quantity, and price with the user before calling. Response is an acknowledgment only; use subscribeOrder or REST endpoints to verify actual order status.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

triggerByNoPrice type used to trigger conditional orders.
isLeverageNoWhether to borrow (spot margin). `0`=spot trading, `1`=margin trading
marketUnitNoUnit for spot market order quantity. `baseCoin` or `quoteCoin`

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds meaningful behavioral details beyond the annotations: this tool places real orders, the response is only an acknowledgment, and actual status must be verified via subscribeOrder or REST endpoints. It also emphasizes the need for explicit user confirmation before invoking. These details are not provided by the annotations alone, though destructiveHint=true already signals risk.

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 brief and front-loaded with the core action in the first sentence, followed by a clear safety warning. It earns its sentences and avoids excessive explanation. The phrase 'places/modifies real orders' is slightly imprecise and could be confusing, and the 'IMPORTANT' warning slightly overlaps with the confirm requirement, but overall it is well-structured.

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?

Given the tool's high complexity—31 parameters, 6 required, no output schema, and a destructive trade action—the description covers the most critical operational context: real order placement, acknowledgment-only response, and verification via subscribeOrder or REST. It does not explain conditional-order nuances or WebSocket connection prerequisites, but the schema already documents parameters and the safety-critical behavior is addressed.

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 100%, so all parameters are already documented in the input schema. The description only calls out symbol, side, quantity, and price as items to confirm with the user, which restates rather than enriches the schema. It adds no new meaning or dependency information beyond what the schema provides.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb and resource: 'Place a new order via WebSocket on Bybit V5 unified account.' It distinguishes itself from REST-based order creation by explicitly mentioning WebSocket, and 'new order' separates it from amend/cancel siblings. However, the later phrase 'places/modifies real orders' introduces mild ambiguity about whether this tool can also modify orders, and it does not explicitly name sibling tools like wsAmendOrder or createOrder to contrast against.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description gives important usage context: confirm symbol, side, quantity, and price before calling, and use subscribeOrder or REST endpoints to verify actual order status. This tells the agent when to be cautious and how to follow up, but it does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over alternatives such as createOrder, wsBatchCreateOrders, or wsAmendOrder. The guidance is implied rather than a clear routing rule.

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