okx_method_detail

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the transparency burden. It does clarify the tool is an informational query that returns technical documentation rather than executing the API method. However, it does not mention limitations, error behavior, or whether authentication is needed, which would enhance transparency.

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 sentence that is front-loaded with the primary action ('Query detailed usage information') and includes only useful information. No filler or redundant phrasing.

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 one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description adequately explains what the response will contain (request parameters, response formats, examples, error handling). It could be more complete by mentioning prerequisite steps like first obtaining the method name from okx_methods, but overall it is sufficient.

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 description coverage is 100% and the single parameter 'method' is already described as 'The specific method name to query'. The description does not add examples of valid method names or formatting, so it does not add value beyond the schema.

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 it queries detailed usage information for specific API methods in OKX Exchange SDK. It uses a specific verb and resource, and the detailed documentation focus distinguishes it from sibling list tools like okx_methods, though it does not explicitly name the alternative.

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 intended usage is implied: use this tool when you need complete technical documentation for a specific OKX API method. However, it does not explicitly mention when to use it versus alternatives such as okx_methods or okx_dex_api_method_detail, nor does it state exclusions.

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