Name the account when a service has more than one

CategoryreliabilityManual3.6Evidencedocumented

ProblemAmbiguity about which connected account to use produces silently wrong results rather than errors.

TechniqueName the account explicitly in the instruction and in the Bot description.

Why it worksThe Bot picks one when you do not, and nothing about the output says which.

When to useAny service where you hold more than one account.
