spoolman_export_filaments

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the output format but does not clarify how the export is delivered (e.g., file content, download link), whether any permissions are required, or if there are side effects. This leaves significant ambiguity about the tool's runtime behavior.

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 a single, concise sentence that immediately conveys the core function. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, and contains no filler words or unnecessary details.

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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is mostly complete: it names the resource and output formats. However, it lacks specifications on how the export is returned or operational details, which is a minor gap given the absence of annotations and output schema.

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 schema already fully documents the 'format' parameter with an enum and default value, and the description merely repeats these options ('JSON or CSV') without adding extra context. Since schema coverage is 100%, the description adds minimal value beyond what the schema provides.

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 action ('export'), the resource ('all filaments'), and the output formats ('JSON or CSV'), which distinguishes it from sibling export tools like spoolman_export_vendors and list tools like spoolman_list_filaments. The specific verb and resource make the purpose unambiguous.

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 implies usage for exporting all filaments, but it does not explicitly say when to use this tool versus alternatives such as spoolman_list_filaments or spoolman_export_spools. There is no guidance on choosing between the export tool and list tool, nor any exclusions.

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