Code Review

This pull request introduces documentation for Bot Pairing, the Clarify Tool, and Tool Availability Gating, alongside updates to the bot security best practices. The review highlights several high-severity issues where the documentation refers to non-existent SDK features, specifically the unknown_user_policy parameter in BotConfig and the check_availability method in BaseTool. Other feedback includes correcting a typo in the pairing documentation and addressing inaccuracies regarding default tool configuration.

# Secure bot with allowlist
config = BotConfig(
allowed_users=["@your_username", "123456789"],

The unknown_user_policy parameter is not defined in the BotConfig class in praisonaiagents/bots/config.py. Using this parameter will result in a TypeError at runtime. Please ensure the documentation matches the current SDK implementation.

The BaseTool class in praisonaiagents/tools/base.py does not define or support a check_availability method. Documentation for class-based tools should align with the actual implementation in the SDK to avoid runtime errors for users attempting to implement this protocol.

The system includes built-in protection against code generation spam:

- **Code TTL**: Codes expire after a configurable time (default: check `PaisingStore` implementation)

The comment # Included by default is incorrect as clarify is not present in the default default_tools list in BotConfig. Additionally, assigning a list to default_tools as shown will overwrite all other default tools (like search_web, execute_command, etc.). If the intention is to add the tool, consider suggesting an append operation or clarifying the behavior.

99-103: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Leftover "Conceptual" status table contradicts the PR's stated goal of reflecting shipped functionality.

The linked issue explicitly asks to remove outdated conceptual warnings and reflect shipped behavior, but this table still marks Allowlist, DM Policy, and Pairing as "Conceptual". This directly contradicts the new Gateway Pairing section below and the new bot-pairing.mdx page. Update statuses to reflect shipped state (or remove the column).

✏️ Suggested update
-| Component | Purpose | Status |
-|-----------|---------|--------|
-| Allowlist | Control access | Conceptual |
-| DM Policy | Message filtering | Conceptual |
-| Pairing | Channel authorization | Conceptual |
+| Component | Purpose | Status |
+|-----------|---------|--------|
+| Allowlist | Control access | Shipped |
+| DM Policy | Message filtering | Shipped |

remove the entire "Status" column; locate the markdown table entries for
Allowlist, DM Policy, and Pairing in the bot-security page and either replace
their "Conceptual" cells with the correct shipped status or drop the Status
column and its header so the table no longer contradicts the new Gateway Pairing
section and bot-pairing.mdx content.

289-294: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Update line 293 to match actual behavior: the gateway secret (env var) does not auto-persist, only the pairing data does.

Line 238 claims the secret is "auto-generated at <store_dir>/.gateway_secret" and reused across restarts, but the code does not implement this. The _get_secret() function generates a per-process random secret from secrets.token_hex(32) if PRAISONAI_GATEWAY_SECRET is unset; this secret is not persisted to disk and does not survive restarts. What does survive restarts is the pairing data (authorized channels) stored in pairing.json. The doctor warning on line 293 is correct and reflects actual behavior—update the description to clarify: "Missing gateway secret env var—pairing codes won't persist" or similar to distinguish from the pairing data itself.

PRAISONAI_GATEWAY_SECRET is unset the code uses a per-process secret from

pairing codes will not survive restarts; note that only pairing data in
pairing.json persists across restarts. Reference _get_secret(),
PRAISONAI_GATEWAY_SECRET, and pairing.json in the updated sentence to make the
behavior explicit.

35-71: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Both Quick Start examples use a non-existent unknown_user_policy field and fail to wire the config.

The BotConfig class does not have an unknown_user_policy field. Use actual fields: allowed_users, allowed_channels, group_policy, auto_approve_tools, and mention_required. Additionally, the created config is never passed to the adapter. Pass it to the bot adapter constructor (e.g., TelegramBot(token="...", agent=agent, config=config)):

Example correction
from praisonaiagents import Agent
from praisonaiagents.bots import BotConfig
from praisonai.bots import TelegramBot

# Secure bot with allowlist
config = BotConfig(
    allowed_users=["@your_username", "123456789"],
    group_policy="mention_only"  # Respond only when mentioned
)

agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant",
)

bot = TelegramBot(token="YOUR_BOT_TOKEN", agent=agent, config=config)
await bot.start()

407-415: Add cross-link to the new clarify-tool and tool-availability sibling pages.

The PR objectives call for cross-linking the three new feature pages where relevant. Consider adding a Card to messaging-bots (already present) plus one to bot-security (present) — those look good — but the sibling pages clarify-tool and tool-availability are not reachable from here. If unrelated, ignore; otherwise add a third card.

In `@docs/features/bot-pairing.mdx` around lines 407 - 415, This page's CardGroup
currently contains two Card components linking "Bot Security" and "Messaging
Bots" but lacks links to the new sibling pages; add one or two additional Card
elements inside the same CardGroup referencing the "clarify-tool" and
"tool-availability" pages (use the same Card component pattern with
title="Clarify Tool" href="/docs/features/clarify-tool" and title="Tool
Availability" href="/docs/features/tool-availability" and appropriate icon and
description) so those pages are reachable from this feature overview; ensure you
follow the existing Card props and placement within the CardGroup.

194-203: Platform support table could mislead: "CLI ready" for non-wired platforms is not actionable.

Marking Discord/Slack/WhatsApp as "CLI ready" while "Not wired" means users can approve codes for channels that can never actually generate them. Consider collapsing the last column or explicitly noting that praisonai pairing approve discord … has no effect until handler wiring lands, to prevent confusion.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/features/bot-pairing.mdx`:
- Around line 237-245: Update docs/features/bot-pairing.mdx to remove the
incorrect statement that a per-install secret is "auto-generated and stored at
<store_dir>/.gateway_secret" and that it "Persists across restarts"; instead
state that the gateway generates a random per-process secret via
secrets.token_hex(32) in praisonai/gateway/pairing.py (no file persistence) and
that persistent pairing codes require setting the PRAISONAI_GATEWAY_SECRET
environment variable (matching the warning logic in
praisonai/cli/features/doctor/checks/bot_checks.py).
- Around line 125-132: Fix the typo "PaisingStore" to "PairingStore" and replace
the vague "check `PairingStore` implementation" TTL note with the explicit
default value; update the pairing docs text (in the Pairing section) so the Code
TTL line reads: "- **Code TTL**: Codes expire after a configurable time
(default: 300 seconds / 5 minutes)" to provide the concrete default.
- Around line 38-50: Remove the invalid unknown_user_policy kwarg from BotConfig
and update the Quick Start to be agent-centric and runnable: instantiate
Agent(...) and a real adapter (e.g., TelegramAdapter) instead of leaving the
adapter commented out, pass a valid BotConfig containing allowed_users (or other
supported fields) to the Agent or adapter as per the API, and move any
policy-related options (previously shown as unknown_user_policy) into a separate
"Configuration Options" section showing supported fields and examples; update
the three occurrences (Quick Start, Policy Configuration, Telegram Integration)
to remove unknown_user_policy and replace with the correct configuration pattern
using the Agent class, BotConfig, and TelegramAdapter symbols.

In `@docs/features/clarify-tool.mdx`:
- Around line 263-274: The docs reference a missing async tool module
(praisonaiagents.tools.clarify and its clarify(...) function) while the codebase
only has a synchronous DeepResearchAgent.clarify method; either implement the
documented async tool or remove/update the docs. Fix by adding a new module
named praisonaiagents.tools.clarify that exports an async clarify(...) function
matching the documented signature and fallback behavior (returning the "No
interactive channel available..." message when appropriate), wire it into the
package exports (package __init__ or registry) so from
praisonaiagents.tools.clarify import clarify works, and ensure tests/imports use
this async clarify; alternatively, update the documentation to call
DeepResearchAgent.clarify (or remove the page) if you choose not to implement
the tool.
- Around line 34-68: The examples reference non-existent symbols (clarify,
create_cli_clarify_handler, create_bot_clarify_handler) and use the wrong Agent
parameter name (ctx instead of context); either implement and export a
clarifying-tool module and register it in the lazy-loaded TOOL_MAPPINGS
(ensuring functions clarify, create_cli_clarify_handler,
create_bot_clarify_handler are exported and importable from
praisonaiagents.tools.clarify) or update the docs to use an existing, validated
tool name and correct the Agent call to use context= (which accepts
bool/str/Dict/ContextConfig/ContextManager) so the snippets run without
modification; reference the Agent class, clarify/create_*_clarify_handler
symbols, and TOOL_MAPPINGS when making the change.

In `@docs/features/tool-availability.mdx`:
- Around line 360-380: The example shows a bare call to
cached_docker_check.cache_clear() immediately after defining cached_docker_check
(decorated with lru_cache), which defeats the cache; either remove that line or
replace it with a clear demonstration of periodic refresh (e.g., call
cache_clear from a scheduler or time-based invalidation routine). Update the
docs to reference the cached_docker_check function and the cache_clear method
and show it invoked from a timed refresh mechanism or remove the call so the
cached behavior is preserved.
- Around line 422-432: The Related CardGroup uses incorrect hrefs and an
incorrect icon: update the two Card components—identified by title="Tools
Overview" and title="Agent Configuration"—to point to valid feature pages under
docs/features (replace href="/docs/concepts/tools" and
href="/docs/concepts/agents" with appropriate docs/features URLs such as a
relevant feature like "agent-as-tool" or remove the Card if no suitable feature
exists) and change the Agent card's icon from icon="cog" to icon="user" to match
guidelines; ensure both Card components' href values conform to the
docs/features/ convention or remove the entire Related section if no
feature-equivalent pages exist.
- Around line 61-91: The documentation shows a "Tool Availability Gating"
feature that doesn't exist in code; update the docs to mark this page as
"Planned" (or remove the runnable examples) and add a short roadmap note listing
the missing implementations: add BaseTool.check_availability(), extend the
`@tool`() decorator to accept an availability parameter, and implement
availability filtering in get_tool_schema() and tool registration/execution
paths so readers know these are TODOs; reference the class BaseTool, the missing
method check_availability(), the decorator `@tool`(), and the function
get_tool_schema() in the note.

Remove unknown_user_policy field and restructure Quick Start to be agent-centric and runnable.

The unknown_user_policy field does not exist on BotConfig (line 44). This will raise TypeError: unexpected keyword argument at runtime. Additionally, the Quick Start violates two coding guidelines: it doesn't instantiate an Agent, and the bot adapter is commented out, making the snippet non-functional.

This same invalid field appears in the Policy Configuration section (line 115) and Telegram Integration section (line 214). All three must be corrected. Restructure the Quick Start to show a complete, agent-centric working example that can run without modification, then show configuration options separately.

### Pairing Rate Limiting

The system includes built-in protection against code generation spam:

- **Rate Limit**: 10 minutes between code generations per channel
- **Code TTL**: Codes expire after a configurable time (default: check `PaisingStore` implementation)
- **Automatic Cleanup**: Stale rate limit entries are automatically evicted

Fix typo and replace vague TTL reference with actual default value.

Line 130 has typo PaisingStore (should be PairingStore). More importantly, directing users to "check PairingStore implementation" is not useful documentation — replace with the actual default: 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Fix documentation to match actual gateway secret behavior.

The documentation claims a per-install secret is "auto-generated and stored at <store_dir>/.gateway_secret" with persistence across restarts. This contradicts the actual implementation:

  • praisonai/gateway/pairing.py:40 generates a random per-process secret (secrets.token_hex(32)) with no file storage.
  • praisonai/cli/features/doctor/checks/bot_checks.py:145 correctly warns that "pairing codes will not persist across restarts" when PRAISONAI_GATEWAY_SECRET is unset.

Remove the claim about auto-generated file storage and clarify that persistent pairing codes require setting the PRAISONAI_GATEWAY_SECRET environment variable.

The imports and Agent API usage in the code examples are incorrect and will fail at runtime.

The documentation imports clarify, create_cli_clarify_handler, and create_bot_clarify_handler from praisonaiagents.tools.clarify, but these do not exist in the codebase. A search of praisonaiagents/tools/ reveals no clarify*.py module and no entries in the lazy-loaded TOOL_MAPPINGS dictionary. Additionally, the Agent class accepts a context= parameter (supporting bool, str, Dict, ContextConfig, or ContextManager), not ctx= as shown in the code examples (lines 56). The Quick Start and Channel Integration code samples will fail immediately upon execution with ImportError and TypeError respectively, violating the "run without modification" guideline.

Either the clarify tool needs to be implemented and exported from praisonaiagents.tools.clarify, or these code examples should be removed/replaced with validated examples that reference real available tools.

result = await clarify("Which database?", ["postgres", "mysql"])
# Returns: "No interactive channel available. Please proceed with your best judgment for: Which database?"

# Agent can handle this gracefully:

# Use reasonable defaults

The clarify module does not exist in the codebase; all imports will fail.

The documentation references from praisonaiagents.tools.clarify import clarify and related functions, but the praisonaiagents.tools.clarify module is not implemented. Attempting to import this fails with ModuleNotFoundError. The only clarify implementation in the codebase is a synchronous method on DeepResearchAgent class, which is unrelated to the documented standalone tool.

Either implement the clarify tool module with the documented async API, or remove this documentation page until the feature is ready. The example code throughout this page, including the fallback behavior snippet at lines 263-274, cannot run as written.

async clarify(...) function matching the documented signature and fallback
behavior (returning the "No interactive channel available..." message when
appropriate), wire it into the package exports (package __init__ or registry) so
from praisonaiagents.tools.clarify import clarify works, and ensure
tests/imports use this async clarify; alternatively, update the documentation to

Remove or mark "Tool Availability Gating" documentation as planned—the feature is not implemented.

The codebase does not support tool availability checking:

  • BaseTool has no check_availability() method
  • The @tool() decorator does not accept an availability parameter
  • get_tool_schema() does not filter or check tool availability
  • No availability logic exists in tool registration or execution paths

Both Quick Start examples (decorator-based and class-based) show code that will not work. Either implement the feature or clearly label this page as "Planned" with a roadmap note.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

cache_clear() example is misleading.

cached_docker_check.cache_clear() is shown as a bare statement right after the definition, which immediately empties the cache you just set up and doesn't demonstrate periodic refresh. Either remove the line or wrap it in a scheduler / time-based invalidation example so readers don't copy this verbatim.

In `@docs/features/tool-availability.mdx` around lines 360 - 380, The example
shows a bare call to cached_docker_check.cache_clear() immediately after
defining cached_docker_check (decorated with lru_cache), which defeats the
cache; either remove that line or replace it with a clear demonstration of
periodic refresh (e.g., call cache_clear from a scheduler or time-based
invalidation routine). Update the docs to reference the cached_docker_check
function and the cache_clear method and show it invoked from a timed refresh
mechanism or remove the call so the cached behavior is preserved.

Fix icon and remove docs/concepts/ links.

Two issues in the Related section:

  1. Links point to /docs/concepts/tools and /docs/concepts/agents, which violates repo conventions requiring docs/features/ by default.
  2. Agent card uses icon="cog" but guidelines specify icon="user" for agents.

There are no exact docs/features/tools.mdx or docs/features/agents.mdx pages. Consider linking to relevant feature pages like agent-as-tool or removing this Related section if no suitable feature equivalents exist.

CardGroup uses incorrect hrefs and an incorrect icon: update the two Card

href="/docs/concepts/tools" and href="/docs/concepts/agents" with appropriate
docs/features URLs such as a relevant feature like "agent-as-tool" or remove the
