Write BeamNG mod text files

beamng_mod_write_files
Destructive

Write multiple UTF-8 files to the configured workspace with atomic writes, supporting dry-run and overwrite options for safe mod development.

Instructions

Atomically write a bounded set of UTF-8 files inside the configured workspace.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true, so the description adds value by disclosing atomicity, bounded input, UTF-8 encoding, and workspace confinement. These behavioral traits go beyond what the structured annotations provide.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence that includes the action and key constraints without filler. It is concise and easy to scan.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Atomicity and workspace bounds add useful context, but the description leaves out crucial behavior like overwrite semantics, dry-run behavior, and how this tool relates to scaffolding or validation siblings. With no output schema, it should provide more operational context.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it only mentions 'a bounded set of UTF-8 files' without explaining the path/content structure or the dryRun and overwrite parameters. Most parameter semantics remain undocumented.

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 clearly states the action 'write' and the resource 'a bounded set of UTF-8 files inside the configured workspace.' It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like docs search, validate, and package, which are not primary file-writing operations.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies the tool is for writing files but gives no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use instructions. It mentions workspace confinement and atomicity, but does not contrast with alternatives like beamng_mod_scaffold or beamng_mod_validate.

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