Cloud for Bots

inbox

[bot-inbox] Give a bot its own public webhook URL. Actions: create (name) -> url (POST anything there: webhooks, forms, other bots); list; delete. Events land in queue inbox.: read them with the queue tool (pull, then ack). Create again to rotate the URL. Free: 50 inboxes.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does so well: it discloses the free-tier quota (50 inboxes), the URL-rotation behavior on re-create, where events land (queue inbox.<name>), and the need to ack. It omits auth/permission requirements and failure behavior, so not 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?

Information-dense and front-loaded with the purpose before the action list. Every clause earns its place, though the telegraphic semicolon chains make it feel slightly run-on rather than crisp prose.

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?

For a 2-param, no-annotation, no-output-schema tool, it covers lifecycle, quota, return value ('create (name) -> url'), and cross-tool integration adequately. Auth requirements are the main omission an agent might still need.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It ties 'name' to create, URL rotation, and the queue naming convention (inbox.<name>), and lists the enum values inline. However it does not specify name format, uniqueness, or what list/delete require, leaving the compensation partial.

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 and resource: 'Give a bot its own public webhook URL', then enumerates the exact actions (create/list/delete). It clearly distinguishes itself from the sibling queue tool by explaining that events land in the inbox and are read via queue, so an agent can route correctly without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives per-action guidance (create produces a URL you can POST anything to; create again rotates the URL) and explicitly names the alternative workflow (read events with the queue tool, pull then ack). It lacks any explicit exclusions or edge-case guidance, so it stops short of a 5.

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