getUserSettingConfig

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It states authentication requirements, confirms there are no query parameters, and says it returns current configuration. 'Query' implies read-only, but it does not explicitly declare the absence of side effects or discuss error/rate-limit behavior.

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 short and well-structured: a front-loaded lead sentence about the capability, followed by two focused bullet notes. Every sentence contributes useful information with no filler.

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?

For a no-parameter query tool with no output schema, the description provides the essential invocation context: authentication required, no query parameters, and the returned data is the authenticated user's account settings. It does not enumerate all response fields, but that is acceptable given the simplicity and absence of an output schema.

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 schema already has zero parameters, so nothing extra is required. The description adds explicit confirmation that there are no query parameters, matching the schema exactly.

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 uses a specific verb ('Query') and names a distinct resource ('user account setting configuration'), while listing example contents such as margin mode, account mode, and spot hedging status. It is clear about what the tool does, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from nearby read tools like getAccountInfo.

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 conveys the basic context: it requires authentication, takes no query parameters, and returns the current account configuration for the authenticated user. However, it does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over alternatives or provide any exclusion criteria.

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