I'm looking for a mod that will spawn a drone that I put in it (using a manipulator for example), I would really like it to be controlled using circuits

Why not just use an inserter and a roboport?

Because I don’t want to accidentally overwhelm the system with drones and they won’t have a place to rest after work. I would like to have a little control over their number on the network.

Then use the circuit network on the inserter and roboport to do exactly that.

If you connect a circuit wire to a roboport and an inserter, the roboport will then have output options you can use to set the enable condition of the inserter. So you can have it, for example, only add more construction bots when the quantity in the network is <100.
