okx_cancel_quote

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

The description offers no behavioral traits beyond a write indication. Annotations are absent, so the description carries full burden but fails to disclose effects, permissions, side effects, or success/failure responses. The agent gets no insight into what happens when the quote is cancelled.

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 very short and includes metadata tags, making it concise. However, the structure is not front-loaded for agent understanding; it prioritizes internal categorization over clarifying the tool's action. Every sentence is present but not optimally arranged for agent decision-making.

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 is a mutation with no output schema and no annotations, the description should cover prerequisites, behavior, and results. It only mentions a prerequisite (call agent_catalog). Missing details on cancellation confirmation, error states, and required authorization make it incomplete for an agent.

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%, and the schema provides basic descriptions for both parameters (RFQ ID and Quote ID). The description adds no additional meaning, so it meets the baseline of 3. No extra context is provided beyond what the schema already states.

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 does not explicitly state that the tool cancels a quote. It relies entirely on the tool name 'okx_cancel_quote' to convey purpose, and instead provides metadata like write operation and category. The purpose is implied but not clearly articulated.

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 only mentions a prerequisite (call agent_catalog first) but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like okx_cancel_rfq or okx_cancel_batch_rfqs. No usage context or exclusion criteria are given.

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