okx_dex_api_method_detail

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the transparency burden. It discloses the tool's output scope (request params, response formats, examples, error handling) but does not explicitly mention that it is a read-only/safe operation. Given its query nature, this is adequate but not fully explicit.

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 a single well-structured sentence that efficiently conveys purpose and scope without redundancy, listing key content areas (parameters, formats, examples, errors) succinctly.

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?

The description provides a reasonable overview of what the tool returns (parameters, formats, examples, errors) even without an output schema. It lacks explicit usage context like whether to call method list first, but for a simple documentation tool, this is fairly complete.

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?

The schema fully describes the single 'method' parameter (100% coverage), so the description adds little semantic value beyond reaffirming it is a method name. Baseline 3 is appropriate for high schema coverage.

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 identifies a specific verb ('Query') and resource ('OKX DEX API methods'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like okx_dex_api_methods by focusing on detailed per-method information rather than listing.

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?

The description implies usage for retrieving details of a known method, but it does not explicitly compare with sibling tools (e.g., okx_dex_api_methods for listing) or state when not to use it. Usage context is implied, not explicit.

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