clone_bot_as_child

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

No annotations provided, so the description adds value by disclosing dynamic inheritance, auth key requirement, and rate limits. Missing returns info but sufficient for a simple clone operation.

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

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

Three concise sentences with the action front-loaded. Every sentence adds essential information without any filler.

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

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

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, behavior, and constraints. Slightly incomplete on return value, but adequate.

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

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

Schema coverage is 100% and already describes botid as 'The numeric parent bot ID.' Description adds no additional meaning beyond this.

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

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Clone' and the specific resource 'a bot as a child bot', distinguishing it from the sibling 'clone_bot' which likely performs a full copy.

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

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

The description mentions requirements (sk_* key) and rate limits, and the child bot nature implies when to use over clone_bot. Could be more explicit about when not to use.

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