bot_call

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states 'invoke', implying mutation, but does not disclose side effects, permissions, or whether the invocation is safe or destructive. The description is minimal on behavioral context.

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?

Two sentences, very concise and no filler. However, the second sentence could be integrated more cleanly, and the structure is acceptable but not exceptional.

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?

Given 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error conditions, or what 'invoking a tool' entails. Sibling tools are listed but no cross-referencing in the description.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It clarifies that 'tool' and 'arguments' come from list_bot_tools, but leaves 'nick' unexplained. This adds partial meaning but not enough for a tool with 3 totally undocumented parameters.

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 action 'invoke' and the resource 'bot's in-game tools', and explicitly ties the parameters to the sibling tool 'list_bot_tools', distinguishing it from other sibling tools like 'list_bot_tools' (which lists) and 'spawn_bot' (which creates).

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 implies a prerequisite (use list_bot_tools first) but does not give explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or when-not-to-use advice.

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