Save file from URL

save_file_from_url

Download a file from a public http(s) URL and store it in the user's Second Brain as a file object — use when the user shares a direct link to a PDF, image, spreadsheet, or other file and asks to save, download, or keep it. The saved file shows up with their uploads and can be read afterwards with read_file. Not for web pages (that is read_web_page with save=true) and not for files behind a sign-in. Files over 50MB are refused.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only provide readOnlyHint=false, which the description matches (saving is a mutation). The description adds valuable behavior beyond the annotation: the file appears with uploads, can be read back via read_file, refuses files over 50MB, and fails on sign-in-protected URLs. Rich behavioral disclosure with no contradiction.

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, each carrying distinct information: core action + trigger, post-condition + read-back path, and exclusions + size limit. Front-loaded with the verb and resource. Zero fluff.

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 2-param tool with no output schema and minimal annotations, the description covers action, trigger, exclusions, size limit, storage location, and lifecycle. The only gap is the return value/confirmation shape, which would matter more since no output schema exists to document it. Otherwise complete.

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 adds genuine semantic value beyond the schema by qualifying the URL as 'public' and requiring a 'direct link', which is a real constraint not stated in the url parameter description. The filename default is already in the schema, so no duplication credit there.

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?

States a specific action (download from URL, store as file object in Second Brain) with concrete file-type examples (PDF, image, spreadsheet). Explicitly differentiates from siblings: read_web_page for web pages and read_file for reading saved files afterwards. An agent can tell exactly what this tool does and what it is not for.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives an explicit trigger condition ('shares a direct link... and asks to save, download, or keep it') and names the alternative with its exact parameter ('read_web_page with save=true'). Also excludes sign-in-protected files. This is textbook when-to-use-vs-alternatives guidance.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, with clear boundaries even within overlapping domains like LinkedIn (search vs. free-form query vs. profile vs. summary) and graph deletion (soft single, bulk soft, permanent single). Descriptions explicitly cross-reference related tools to prevent misselection.

Naming Consistency4/5

The vast majority follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_, list_, search_, create_, delete_, etc.). A few noun-phrase exceptions like linkedin_analytics, mutual_connections, similar_objects, and what_needs_attention deviate slightly, but they are still descriptive and do not create confusion.

Tool Count2/5

At 66 tools this is far beyond the 25+ threshold considered too many, even though the server covers many integration domains. Each domain has a coherent subset, but the overall surface is heavy for agents to navigate and would benefit from consolidation or namespacing.

Completeness4/5

The set provides deep read/search coverage across Gmail, Slack, Calendar, LinkedIn, HubSpot, Obsidian, Twitter, and a graph store, with core write operations for calendar, drafts, Slack, and graph objects. Minor gaps exist—notably no calendar delete, no direct Gmail send to third parties (only drafts), and no LinkedIn post/message actions—but these appear deliberate and do not block typical workflows.
