Add Bot Channel

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'connect' without mentioning side effects, prerequisites (e.g., bot must exist, channel must be WhatsApp), reversibility (use neuron_remove_bot_channel), or any destructive behavior. This is insufficient 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.

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

Single sentence of 12 words, efficient and front-loaded. However, it could include critical details without sacrificing conciseness, so not a perfect 5.

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?

The tool is simple (2 params, no output schema), but a mutation tool should describe what happens after connection (e.g., channel becomes secondary number, any change in bot behavior). The description is adequate but lacks completeness for an agent to fully understand the outcome.

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% with both parameters described in the schema. The description adds no further meaning beyond the schema's generic descriptions ('unique identifier'). Baseline 3 is appropriate as the description does not enhance parameter understanding.

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 'Connect an additional WhatsApp channel to a bot as a secondary number' clearly states the action (connect), resource (WhatsApp channel to a bot), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like neuron_assign_bot_to_channel by specifying 'additional' and 'secondary number'.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., neuron_assign_bot_to_channel, neuron_set_default_channel) or when not to use it. The description lacks exclusions or context for appropriate use.

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