pptx_watermark

Read-onlyIdempotent

Stamp a text watermark (such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL) or a picture on the slides of a PowerPoint (.pptx) from freedailypro, or remove the watermarks this tool made, and get the new .pptx (base64). Give text, or pictureBase64 (PNG or JPEG) for a picture. It sits behind the slide content by default.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/destructive/idempotent, and the description adds real context beyond them: the output is a new .pptx returned as base64, the watermark is placed behind slide content by default, and removal only applies to marks this tool made. Size and slide-count limits are left to the schema rather than restated.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the core action and return value, with the parameter choice and default layer following in priority order. Only minor waste in the vendor phrase 'from freedailypro'.

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 14-parameter, no-output-schema tool, the description covers what the operation produces (a new base64 .pptx) and the main behavioral default. It does not summarize the file-size/slide-count constraints or the add-vs-remove mode interplay, though those are documented in the schema.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description still adds value by explaining the either/or relationship between 'text' and 'pictureBase64' and by confirming the default 'behind' layer behavior, which an agent might otherwise have to infer from the enum.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description names a specific verb and resource — stamping a text or picture watermark onto .pptx slides — and also covers the inverse operation (removing watermarks this tool created). The explicit '.pptx' format plus the stated base64 return value make it distinguishable from format siblings like pdf_watermark.

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 tells the agent how to pick the two operating paths: give 'text' for a wordmark, or 'pictureBase64' (PNG or JPEG) for an image, and it scopes removal to watermarks this tool made. It stops short of naming alternatives (e.g., use pdf_watermark for PDFs) or stating prerequisites explicitly.

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