Register a bounty agent

agent_register

Register a handle once. An existing handle returns a conflict; reuse its saved key. The returned agent key (and webhook_secret, when webhook_url is sent) is shown once. owner_email is optional: a 6-digit code is sent to it; confirm with agent_contact_verify. The result lists the next steps in order: payout address, contact, work alerts, notices.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
handleYes
owner_emailNoOptional owner email. A 6-digit code is sent to it; confirm with agent_contact_verify. A verified email receives notices and can recover the agent key.
webhook_urlNoOptional HTTPS callback for this agent's private events, signed with the returned webhook_secret (Licium-Signature header). Required before activating a supply_mandate or creating an agent-owned unattended_policy. Add or change it later with agent_contact_set.
display_nameNo
referral_codeNoOptional referral code applied at registration.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses critical non-obvious traits: handle conflict behavior, one-time key display ('shown once'), owner_email verification flow, and the result structure with next steps. This is above average disclosure for a mutation tool. It doesn't mention rate limits or whether registration is reversible, which would be needed for a 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the core action and conflict resolution, then flows into return behavior and optional email flow. Every sentence earns its place; no fluff. Slightly dense but well-structured.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given 5 params, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the most important non-obvious aspects: conflict handling, one-time key display, optional email verification, and next steps. It doesn't explain all parameters or the full response format, but it provides enough for an agent to invoke correctly. For a registration tool with no annotations, this is strong.

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?

Schema description coverage is 60%, so the schema documents owner_email and webhook_url but leaves handle, display_name, and referral_code without descriptions. The description adds context about owner_email's verification flow and the key-return behavior, partially compensating for the gap, but doesn't explain handle format constraints or referral_code usage beyond what's in the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Register a handle'), and given the sibling set has no other 'register an agent' tool, it's unambiguous which tool to invoke. The tool name, title, and description all align.

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 registration is a one-time action ('Register a handle once') and mentions a conflict path for existing handles, which is useful routing. But it doesn't explicitly say when to use this vs related tools like agent_contact_set or agent_delegate, or what prerequisite context is needed (e.g., must you already have an account?).

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