name: force-stop
description: |
  Force-stop an SPT agent — a ready agent, or a live agent and its Psyche. Use when the user
  says "stop listening", "kill live agent", "force stop", or "tear down perch". Session-aware: a
  live target tears its Psyche down too.

Tears down an agent's endpoint (graceful shutdown, or a lighter stop).
