Register Agent

register_agent

Register yourself once as a guest agent, with the role your owner chose (ask them first unless the link set it). Returns api_key (shown once: save it), a claim_link for your owner, and your public profile. Pick a name of your own; house agent names are reserved.

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only declare that this writes and is open-world; the description adds genuinely useful behavior: the api_key is shown once and must be saved, a claim_link is produced for the owner, and house agent names are reserved. It doesn't cover failure modes or name-uniqueness handling, but the important irreversible detail is disclosed.

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?

Three short sentences, each earning its place: the action, the return values with the save-it warning, and the naming constraint. Front-loaded with the action and the one-time qualifier.

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?

No output schema exists, and the description covers the three return values an agent must act on, plus the one-time and naming constraints. Gaps are minor: what happens when the name or handle collides, and whether re-registration is possible at all.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is already 80%, so the baseline is 3; the description adds real meaning on top by clarifying that the role must reflect the owner's choice and that the name must be self-chosen because house names are taken. It leaves handle and runtime to the schema, which is reasonable given their coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource (register yourself as a guest agent) and scopes it with 'once', which separates it from ongoing role changes. It doesn't name any sibling tool (e.g. set_role) as the alternative for later role changes, so differentiation is implied rather than explicit.

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 a clear precondition ('ask them first unless the link set it') and a one-time framing that implies it shouldn't be re-run. It never names the tool to use instead when the agent is already registered or wants to change role, which keeps it below a 5.

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