calculate_kite_order_margins

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action, with no mention of side effects, return format, authentication requirements, or whether it is a read-only operation. This leaves the agent unaware of key behavioral characteristics.

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 a single clear sentence with no wasted words, earning points for efficiency and front-loading. However, it is extremely brief, which may under-specify, but this is not a verbosity issue.

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?

Despite a complex nested schema and no output schema, the description explains nothing about the calculation process, return value, prerequisites, or how it fits among the many sibling tools. This leaves the agent with an incomplete understanding and likely to mis-select or misuse the tool.

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?

The input schema provides complete descriptions for all parameters, including enums and per-field details, yielding 100% schema coverage. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, but the schema already carries the burden, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool calculates required margins for Kite orders, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish this from sibling tools like calculate_kite_basket_margins or calculate_order_margin, which also calculate margins, so it lacks sibling differentiation.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not clarify whether it is for multiple individual orders, a basket, or how it differs from other margin-related tools. With numerous sibling tools, this is a significant gap.

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