Don't plan to call Boba from another agent. It answers only text messages in the Messages app.\n2. Tell people in a group chat that messages sent to Boba may be used to train its models.\n\n### HireAlpha\n\n1. Don't plan to call a HireAlpha persona from another agent. The per-user API needs the owner's session and isn't open to third parties.\n2. Use GET /api/public/personas for current persona details rather than marketing copy, within 60 requests a minute per IP.\n3.
