Manage presets

manage_presets

Store, recall, list, or delete named COMP parameter presets. Snapshots persist with the project for live performance.

Instructions

Store, recall, list, or delete named snapshots of a COMP's parameter values — the live-performance preset system. Pair with create_control_panel: snapshot the knob positions and jump between looks. Snapshots are saved in the COMP's storage so they persist with the project.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
actionYesstore a snapshot, recall one, list all, or delete one.
comp_pathNoCOMP whose parameter values the preset captures — usually a control-panel container./project1
nameNoPreset name (required for store/recall/delete).
paramsNoSpecific custom-parameter names to capture/restore. Defaults to every custom parameter on the COMP.
Behavior2/5

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

Description mentions delete action but does not clarify if it's destructive, contradicting destructiveHint=false annotation. Also lacks details on recall behavior (overwriting, updates) and safety measures. Annotations provide minimal context, but description adds insufficient behavioral insight.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two concise, front-loaded sentences covering purpose, pairing, and persistence. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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?

Covers purpose and context but lacks details on return values (no output schema), error conditions, or behavior of each action (e.g., what happens on recall if name exists). Adequate for a simple tool but incomplete for the 4-action complexity.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds context like 'preset system' and 'pair with create_control_panel' but does not significantly enhance parameter meaning beyond schema descriptions, which are already present.

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?

Description clearly states the tool stores, recalls, lists, or deletes named snapshots of a COMP's parameter values. It specifies the live-performance preset system and distinguishes it from siblings like manage_checkpoint by mentioning pairing with create_control_panel.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides guidance to pair with create_control_panel and notes persistence across projects. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives like manage_checkpoint or sync_presets_vault.

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