save_show_tool

Save the current show file on a grandMA2 console. Optionally specify a show name; suppresses overwrite confirmation when the file already exists.

Instructions

save the current show file on the grandMA2 console.

if no name is provided, saves under the current show name.
uses /noconfirm to suppress the overwrite confirmation popup
that would otherwise block Telnet when a show with the same name exists.

Args:
    show_name: name to save the show as (optional)

Returns:
    str: confirmation message

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses the overwrite suppression behavior via /noconfirm, which is important. However, it does not mention any other behavioral traits such as error handling, permissions, or what happens if the save fails. The description is adequate but lacks deeper behavioral context.

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?

The description is concise with clear sections: main action, condition for no name, suppression detail, and Args/Returns. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, and the key information is front-loaded.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple tool with one optional parameter, the description fully covers the behavior (saving with/without name, overwrite handling) and specifies the return type as a string confirmation message. No gaps remain given the tool's simplicity.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It explains that show_name is optional and if omitted, saves under the current name. This provides meaningful context beyond the schema's type definition.

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 the tool saves the current show file on the grandMA2 console, distinguishing it from sibling tools like load or create shows. It specifies the action (save) and resource (show file), and the optional behavior when no name is provided.

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?

The description explains that saving without a name uses the current show name, and mentions the /noconfirm flag to suppress confirmation popups, which is crucial for Telnet use. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare to alternatives like load or create new show tools.

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