save_document

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

The description explains that an empty output_path overwrites the original source, and empty document_handle defaults to '__default__'. However, it lacks details on synchronization, error handling, file permissions, or side effects. Without annotations, basic transparency is adequate but not robust.

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

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

The description is extremely concise with a single purpose sentence and structured Args section using bullet points. No unnecessary words; every sentence adds value. The front-loaded purpose sentence immediately conveys the tool's function.

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

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

Given the tool's simplicity (two optional parameters) and the existence of an output schema, the description covers essential behavior: save to file, overwrite option, and handle specification. A minor gap is the lack of explicit mention that a document must be open under the handle, but it is implied.

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

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

Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description fully explains each parameter's meaning and default behavior: output_path as file path with overwrite behavior, and document_handle as handle string with default '__default__'. This adds significant value beyond the schema's type and default fields.

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

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

The description clearly states the tool saves all changes to a .docx file, using strong verb 'Save' and specifying the resource. It distinguishes from sibling editing tools by focusing on persistence. However, it could be more specific about 'all changes' meaning unsaved modifications.

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

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

No usage guidance is provided. The description does not mention when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or scenarios. Sibling list includes many save-like tools (e.g., export_markdown, convert_to_pdf), but no differentiation is given.

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