Deploy an agent

Choose names that clearly convey purpose and intent rather than generic or ambiguous terms. Names should be specific enough to understand functionality without requiring additional context.

Avoid generic names:

• Don’t use generic terms like utils, helpers, or base when more specific alternatives exist
• Instead of class Executor, use class ConcurrentExecutor or class SequentialExecutor
• Replace generic file names like utils.py with specific names like validation.py or formatting.py

Use semantically meaningful names:

• Method names should clearly indicate their action: serialize_state() and deserialize_state() instead of ambiguous alternatives
• Variable names should reflect their content: next_nodes_to_execute (plural) instead of next_node_to_execute when referring to multiple items
• Parameter names should be self-documenting: timeout instead of timeout_seconds when accepting a timedelta object

Choose appropriate specificity:

• Be specific enough to avoid confusion: get_agent_card() instead of the vague _discover_agent_card()
• Balance verbosity with clarity: name_override instead of the verbose agent_facing_tool_name
• Use domain-specific terminology: output_type instead of structured_output_type when the context makes “structured” redundant

Example:

# Avoid generic names
class Executor:  # Too generic
    pass

# Use descriptive names  
class ConcurrentToolExecutor:  # Clear purpose and scope
    def serialize_state(self) -> dict:  # Clear action
        pass
    
    def get_next_nodes(self) -> list[str]:  # Clear return type
        pass

This approach improves code readability and reduces the need for additional documentation to understand component purposes.
