Render link

render_link
Read-only

One link that renders up to 20 of your drawings as files, each with its own choices (format, resolution, aspect, background, hand…; see get_drawing export_options). Opening it in a browser renders them one after another and saves each file to that browser’s downloads; drawings still being drawn are rendered once they finish. Follow it with wait_render.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds meaningful behavior beyond annotations: a 20-drawing limit, sequential browser rendering, download behavior, and handling of still-in-progress drawings. Annotations already cover the read-only/open-world/destructive profile, so missing auth or rate-limit details are less critical.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is front-loaded, uses three tight sentences, and every sentence adds useful information: output, browser behavior, and follow-up action. No redundant or filler text.

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?

For a tool with no output schema and a single top-level parameter containing rich nested options, the description explains the returned link, the rendering workflow, the batch limit, and the wait step. It leaves parameter details to get_drawing export_options, which is a reasonable but not fully self-contained choice.

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 0%, so the description must carry more weight. It correctly explains that each drawing has its own choices and points to get_drawing export_options, but it only names a few of the many nested options and does not explain drawing_id, skip, trace, timing, hand_size, hand_tilt, or hand_direction.

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?

The description states a specific output and action: 'One link that renders up to 20 of your drawings as files.' It is clear what the tool produces, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with other rendering or waiting tools beyond naming get_drawing and wait_render.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives clear operational context: open the link in a browser, files save to downloads, and follow it with wait_render. It does not state when not to use this tool or name an alternative rendering path, but the intended workflow is clear.

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