gsa_save

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden for what is a write/persistence operation. It does not say whether an existing file at the default path is overwritten, whether unsaved changes are required first, what error occurs with no open model, or whether the save is confirmed synchronously.

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?

A single short sentence with no filler, and the destination constraint is front-loaded. It is perhaps too terse for a persistence operation, but nothing in it is wasted or poorly ordered.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and there are no parameters to document. However, for a save tool with zero annotation coverage, the description omits the behavioral facts an agent most needs: overwrite semantics, required preconditions, and failure modes.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is no argument semantics for the description to clarify; the schema is trivially complete. Baseline 4 applies per the no-params rule.

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?

States a specific verb (save) plus the resource (current model) and the destination (default path), so an agent can tell it persists without a path prompt. It stops short of explicitly contrasting with the gsa_save_as sibling, which is the main ambiguity a caller would have.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this versus alternatives, even though gsa_save_as, gsa_open, gsa_new_file and gsa_close sit in the same family. The phrase 'default path' hints at the distinction but never names the alternative or the condition that selects it.

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