stop_bot

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'disconnect and terminate' without disclosing side effects, required permissions, or whether the action is reversible. The description is too brief to adequately inform an agent about behavioral traits.

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?

The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the core action. However, it is perhaps too brief, missing important details that could have been included without adding length.

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 with one required parameter and no complex structure. The description covers the basic purpose, but given the absence of usage guidelines and parameter details, it feels incomplete for an agent to reliably use it in varied contexts. Output schema exists but is not provided, so return values are not explained.

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?

The single parameter 'nick' has a schema coverage of 0%, meaning the schema provides no description. The tool description does not explain what 'nick' refers to or how it should be used, leaving the agent without sufficient context to supply a correct value.

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 ('Disconnect and terminate') and the resource ('a bot's MCC process'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like spawn_bot (create), list_bots (list), and stop_all (stop all bots).

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., stop_all). It does not mention prerequisites, such as needing the bot's nickname, or context for invocation.

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