Export Study Results

export_study

Starts an asynchronous export of Study results and returns an export job ID. Supports executive briefs and full reports in PDF, DOCX, PPTX, or Markdown, plus raw data in CSV, XLS, or SPSS SAV.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`kind`	No	Report kind. Defaults to full_report, except CSV/XLS/SAV which default to raw_data.
`force`	No	Regenerate instead of returning a cached artifact.
`study`	No	Which Study to export. Omit entirely to use the active Study from this MCP session.
`format`	No	Export format: "pdf" (default), "docx", "pptx", "csv", "xls", "sav", or "md" (also accepts "markdown"). Executive-summary and full-report PPTX exports use a slide-native 16:9 layout.
`length`	No	Requested report detail for executive_brief and full_report exports.
`scheduledRunId`	No	Export only the messages produced by one scheduled run of this Study, instead of the whole timeline. Use the run ID from the Study schedule history.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`kind`	No	Export kind.
`jobId`	No	Asynchronous export job; poll it with get_study_status.
`format`	No	Export format.
`status`	No	Export job status.
`studyId`	No	Exported Study.
`downloadUrl`	No	Download link, once the export is ready.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is partly covered; the description adds the genuinely new fact that execution is asynchronous and returns a job ID rather than the artifact itself. It still omits how to retrieve or poll the resulting export and whether artifacts expire, but the async disclosure is material context beyond the structured fields.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the async behavior and job-ID return, then the supported output combinations. It is tight overall, though the format enumeration partially duplicates the schema enum and consumes half the description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return-value structure need not be explained, and the 100%-covered input schema handles the parameters. The description supplies the essential async/job-ID framing; the remaining gap is the lifecycle around the job ID (polling, expiry), which an agent will likely need but may find in the output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description restates the format set (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, Markdown, CSV, XLS, SAV) and the report kinds already enumerated in the schema, and adds no new meaning for force, length, scheduledRunId, or the nested study selector.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Starts an asynchronous export of Study results') plus the observable result ('returns an export job ID'), which is enough to distinguish it from sibling exports like export_audience, export_heatmap, and export_mind. It does not, however, explicitly differentiate itself from render_study_results, which an agent must also weigh when choosing a results-output path.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no alternatives. It never tells the agent when to prefer this async export over render_study_results, nor when to choose raw_data versus full_report. Usage must be inferred entirely from the schema enums.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
