Destructive

Sell an open paper trade on Solana memecoins. Retrieves real-time exit price and calculates profit or loss.

Instructions

Sell an open paper position. Fetches real-time exit price and calculates P&L.

mintYesSolana token mint address to sell

Implementation Reference

  • The sell() method on PaperEngine class executes the sell logic: validates the mint, fetches current price, applies slippage, calculates P&L, updates balance and trade log, deletes the position, persists state, and returns the result.
    async sell(mint, reason = 'manual') {
      this.#validateMint(mint);
    
      const position = this.#positions.get(mint);
      if (!position) {
        return { success: false, reason: `No open position for ${mint.slice(0, 8)}` };
      }
    
      const currentPrice = await this.#fetchPrice(mint);
      if (!currentPrice) {
        return { success: false, reason: 'Could not fetch exit price' };
      }
    
      const slippage = 1 - (Math.random() * 0.004 + 0.001);
      const fillPrice = currentPrice * slippage;
      const solReceived = position.tokensHeld * fillPrice;
    
      this.#balance += solReceived;
      const txid = `PAPER_${Date.now().toString(36)}_${Math.random().toString(36).slice(2, 6)}`;
    
      const pnlSol = solReceived - position.entrySol;
      const pnlPct = ((fillPrice - position.entryPrice) / position.entryPrice) * 100;
      const holdTimeMin = Math.round((Date.now() - position.entryTime) / 60_000);
    
      const entry = {
        type: 'sell', reason, txid, mint, symbol: position.symbol,
        solReceived: this.#round(solReceived),
        fillPrice, pnlSol: this.#round(pnlSol),
        pnlPct: Math.round(pnlPct * 100) / 100,
        holdTimeMin,
        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        balanceAfter: this.#round(this.#balance),
      };
      this.#tradeLog.push(entry);
      this.#positions.delete(mint);
      this.#persist();

  • src/tools.js:158-190 (registration)
    The 'paper_sell' tool is registered using server.tool() with a zod schema for mint (required) and reason (optional), and metadata (destructiveHint: true). The handler delegates to either a remote trader API or the local PaperEngine.sell() method.

  • Input schema for paper_sell: 'mint' (Solana token mint address, regex validated) and optional 'reason' (max 50 chars, describes why selling).

  • The tool's handler function: calls traderFetch('/sell') if useRemoteTrader, otherwise calls paper.sell(mint, reason). Returns JSON result or error message.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, so the description does not need to restate that. It adds useful behavioral context about real-time price fetching and P&L calculation. No contradictions with 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?

The description is a single sentence that is clear and front-loaded. Every part earns its place, with no wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, the description does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., trade confirmation, P&L details). It also lacks safety notes on irreversible actions, which would be helpful for a destructive operation.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The input schema has 100% description coverage for both parameters (mint and reason). The description does not add meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline but does not exceed it.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's action: 'Sell an open paper position.' It also adds value by noting that it fetches a real-time exit price and calculates P&L, making the purpose specific and distinct from siblings like paper_buy and get_positions.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage when an open paper position exists, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., paper_buy or get_positions). No exclusions or prerequisites are provided.

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