Make portable tox

Destructive

Package a TouchDesigner COMP into a .tox file with a manifest and auto-generated README documenting nodes, parameters, and references.

Instructions

Save a COMP as a .tox package, write a tdmcp-component manifest beside it, and by default include a README.md documenting node inventory, custom parameters, inputs/outputs and external file references.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description mentions saving a COMP and writing files, which aligns but does not elaborate on destructive nature or external dependencies. Annotations carry the burden; description adds moderate context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single sentence that is reasonably concise and front-loaded. Every part adds value, but could be slightly restructured for easier parsing.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers the main actions but lacks details on parameter meanings and the exact content of the manifest/README. Given no output schema and partial parameter docs, it is somewhat incomplete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Of five parameters, only include_readme has a schema description. The description implies include_readme's default behavior but does not explain comp_path, out_dir, name, or docs. With 20% coverage, the description should compensate more.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states that the tool saves a COMP as a .tox package, writes a manifest, and optionally includes a README. It distinguishes from sibling export tools by specifying these extra actions.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like export_look_tox or export_network_to_vault. The description only states what it does, not the appropriate context.

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