Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve Luno market trading parameters including limits, tick sizes, and fees to validate order prices and volumes before placing a trade.

Instructions

List supported Luno markets and their trading parameters: min/max base and counter volume, price/volume tick size, fee tiers, status, and base/counter currency. Public endpoint, no auth required. Use this before placing an order to validate price/volume against the market's tick and minimum constraints; not for live prices (use get_ticker).

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true. Description adds that it is a public endpoint with no auth required, enhancing transparency beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and key information, zero waste. Every sentence adds value.

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?

Given output schema exists and annotations are rich, the description covers purpose, usage, parameter, and sibling differentiation. Fully complete for a list endpoint.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 100% coverage with description for the sole parameter 'pair'. Description explains it is optional, comma-separated, and filters results, adding value over the schema.

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?

Description clearly states 'List supported Luno markets and their trading parameters', which is a specific verb+resource, and distinguishes from get_ticker for live prices.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says 'Use this before placing an order to validate price/volume... not for live prices (use get_ticker)', providing clear when-to-use and alternative.

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