PAIDEIA__save_action_artifact

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

No annotations provided, so description carries burden. Mentions saving to canonical paths but does not disclose overwrite behavior, required permissions, error handling, or that parameters like project_root affect path resolution. Adds some behavioral context but incomplete.

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?

Two sentences, each serving a purpose: namespace alias clarification and core action. Could be slightly more concise by integrating the alias message, but overall efficient.

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?

Despite 7 parameters and no output schema, the description provides minimal context—no mention of return values, errors, parameter interactions, or prerequisites beyond implied canonical paths. Incomplete for agent invocation.

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?

Schema description coverage is 57% (4 of 7 params documented). The description only mentions canonical paths, adding no extra meaning to parameters like slug, content, overwrite, or answer_content. Meets baseline for partial schema coverage.

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?

Description states it saves PAIDEIA action outputs to canonical paths (e.g., quizzes/*). It differentiates from siblings by noting the namespace alias, but does not explicitly distinguish from similar tools like save_action_artifact or write_artifact.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools (e.g., write_artifact, save_action_artifact). Implies usage when saving PAIDEIA outputs but lacks exclusionary context.

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