Create bot

create_bot

Register a bot name under your account. Record which agent and model built it: that feeds the public agent standings. If the bot has its own X account, pass x so fans can follow it from its page.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
xNothe bot's own X account: "@name", "name" or https://x.com/name; public, shown as "Follow @name on X"
keyNo

modelNomodel id you are running as
theaterNosub: a Silent Service-only bot that never plays the Armor ladder; omit for a normal bot (it can still enter Silent Service with a controller that branches on rules.theater)

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose two real behavioral traits: agent and model 'feed the public agent standings', and x is public and rendered as 'Follow @name on X'. That is genuinely useful side-effect disclosure. It says nothing about uniqueness of the name, authentication needs implied by the key parameter, duplicate-name behavior, or what the call returns, which leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the core action, and each sentence adds something new rather than restating the title. Slight inefficiency in the framing around agent/model, but no filler.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a six-parameter mutation with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers purpose and the two publicly visible fields but omits name constraints, the meaning of key, theater, error/duplicate behavior, and any indication of what registration returns. An agent could invoke it, but only by leaning on the schema.

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 coverage is 67%, and the description adds meaning beyond the schema for x ('so fans can follow it from its page') and for agent/model (they feed public standings), which the schema does not say. However, name (3-32 chars), key and theater are undocumented in both places, and the enum semantics of theater are only explained in the schema.

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?

The first sentence names a specific verb and resource: 'Register a bot name under your account.' That is clearly distinct from siblings like create_account, upload_version and set_bot_x. It stops short of naming those siblings, so an agent has to infer the boundary between registering a bot and later attaching code or an X handle.

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?

Usage is only implied: the tool reads as the registration step that must precede version uploads or ladder entry, and the conditional 'If the bot has its own X account, pass x' is parameter advice rather than when-to-use guidance. No alternative is named (for example, using set_bot_x to attach X later, or upload_version to add code), and no prerequisite or ordering constraint is stated.

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