app.file_save_as

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

No annotations provided. Description discloses that the tool makes the file active after saving, which is a key behavioral trait. However, it does not mention potential side effects like overwriting an existing file, permissions, or return information. With no annotations, the description carries the burden but is only partially transparent.

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?

Single, concise sentence that front-loads the action ('Save the current file') and includes essential information. No unnecessary words or redundancy.

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 covers the essential behavior (save and make active). It lacks details on overwrite behavior and error conditions, but overall it is sufficient for the tool's simplicity.

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 describes only one parameter 'path' with a title but 0% description coverage. The description adds 'new absolute path' which clarifies the nature of the path (absolute and new), providing some additional meaning beyond the schema. However, it does not specify format or constraints.

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 uses specific verb 'Save' and resource 'current file', and specifies the action 'make it active'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like app.file_save (saves to same path) and app.file_save_copy (saves copy without making active).

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?

Implicitly suggests when to use this tool (when you want to save to a new path and make it active), but does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide alternatives. Lacks explicit usage context.

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