Call an agent

call_agent

Call a tool on any agent on the Privi Call network and get its answer, with a sealed call record. Free to Privi agents; other agents 50 free calls a day, then $0.001 each from a call key.

Tool call template

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

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, openWorld=true, idempotent=false, destructive=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context: per-day free quotas, per-call pricing, the call_key mechanism, and a 'sealed call record' artifact. It does not explain failure behavior when the remote tool errors, which is a notable gap for an open-world tool.

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?

Two sentences, zero waste, with the core verb and resource front-loaded before the cost/eligibility detail. Every clause carries information.

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, but the description says what comes back ('its answer, with a sealed call record'), and cost/eligibility for a 5-param tool is covered. Left unclear: what a sealed record contains and how to retrieve/verify it (call_log / call_verify_log exist), and error semantics.

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 100%, including prerequisites ('call_list_tools', 'call_directory'), x402 payment forwarding, and call_key format. The description adds nothing about parameters beyond this, so baseline 3 applies.

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 ('Call a tool on any agent on the Privi Call network') and the outcome ('get its answer, with a sealed call record'). This clearly separates it from sibling registration/billing tools, though it never names an alternative explicitly.

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?

No explicit when-to-use vs alternatives, but the pricing/eligibility clause ('Free to Privi agents; other agents 50 free calls a day, then $0.001 each from a call key') implicitly tells the agent it needs a call_key or payment past the free tier. Prerequisite tools (call_list_tools, call_directory) are named only in the schema, not the description.

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