get_impermanent_loss

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden of behavioral disclosure. Fails to state this is a read-only calculation (though implied by 'get_' prefix), does not describe calculation methodology (current price ratio vs. entry price), return value format (percentage, absolute value, ratio), or performance characteristics. Critical gaps for a financial calculation tool.

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?

Single sentence with no redundancy. Efficiently states core purpose. However, extreme brevity results in underspecification for a financial calculation tool—conciseness here reflects minimalism rather than optimal information density.

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?

Inadequate for tool complexity. No output schema exists, yet description doesn't hint at return structure. For a DeFi financial calculation involving impermanent loss, fails to explain what the calculation represents (divergence loss vs. holding), units, or interpretation guidance. Relies entirely on input schema and domain knowledge.

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% (both account_public_key and pair are documented), establishing baseline 3. Description adds no parameter context (does not explain that account_public_key + pair identify the specific position, nor clarifies 'pair contract package hash' format requirements). But schema descriptions suffice for basic understanding.

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?

States specific verb (calculate) and resource (impermanent loss for a liquidity position). Clear enough to distinguish from sibling tools like get_liquidity_positions (which retrieves position data) and build_add_liquidity (which creates positions). However, lacks explicit scope clarification that this computes a specific financial metric rather than retrieving stored data.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites (e.g., that a liquidity position must exist for the account/pair combination) or when to use get_liquidity_positions instead. No mention of typical workflow (e.g., call get_liquidity_positions first to verify position exists).

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