save_presentation

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure but offers none. It doesn't indicate whether this is a read-only or mutation operation, what permissions are required, whether it overwrites existing files, what happens on failure, or any rate limits. The single sentence lacks all critical behavioral context for a tool that presumably modifies state.

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 ('Save a presentation') but under-specified rather than efficiently informative. While it avoids unnecessary words, it fails to front-load critical details like the tool's basic function beyond the name, making it inefficient for an agent's understanding. It earns a middle score for brevity but lacks substance.

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 likely complexity (a mutation operation with no annotations or output schema), the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'save' entails, the result (e.g., success confirmation, file path), or error conditions. For a tool in a presentation suite with many siblings, this minimal description leaves significant gaps in understanding its role and behavior.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage for its single parameter, documenting that 'doc_name' is optional and defaults to the front document. The description adds no parameter information beyond this, but with high schema coverage and zero parameters explicitly mentioned, the baseline is 4. No additional semantic value is provided or needed.

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 'Save a presentation' is a tautology that restates the tool name 'save_presentation' without adding specificity. It doesn't clarify what 'save' means in this context (e.g., saving changes to an open presentation, exporting to a file, or persisting to cloud storage) or distinguish it from sibling tools like 'export_pdf' or 'close_presentation' that might involve similar persistence actions.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., whether a presentation must be open first), exclusions (e.g., not for new presentations), or related tools like 'export_pdf' for different output formats or 'close_presentation' for ending sessions without saving.

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