futures_cancel_batch_orders

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

No annotations are present, and the description provides no behavioral details such as side effects, response format, error handling, or rate limits. As a state-modifying tool, more transparency is needed.

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 extremely concise (4 words in English translation) and front-loaded. However, it may be too terse, omitting valuable contextual details.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (batch cancellation with two optional ID lists), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It lacks information on return values, error states, and usage constraints.

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 coverage is 100% with individual parameter descriptions. The tool description adds no extra meaning. While adequate, it does not clarify that at least one of orderIdList or origClientOrderIdList should be provided for meaningful cancellation.

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 'Futures batch cancel orders' clearly identifies the tool as canceling futures orders in batch, using a specific verb (cancel) and resource (orders). It distinguishes from siblings like futures_cancel_order (single order) and futures_cancel_all_open_orders (all orders).

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 when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided. Users must infer usage from the name and siblings. However, the name implies batch cancellation, which distinguishes it from single cancellation and cancel-all tools.

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