set_speed_profile

Set the printer speed profile to silent, standard, sport, or ludicrous mode for Bambu Lab printers. Sport and Ludicrous automatically increase nozzle temperature to prevent under-extrusion.

Instructions

Set the printer speed profile (Bambu Lab printers only).

Args:
    profile: Speed profile name — one of ``"silent"`` (50% speed,
        quiet), ``"standard"`` (100%, default), ``"sport"`` (124%,
        faster), or ``"ludicrous"`` (166%, maximum speed).

Sport and Ludicrous modes automatically increase nozzle temperature
to prevent under-extrusion at higher flow rates.

Use ``printer_status()`` to see the current speed profile in the
response's ``printer.speed_profile`` field.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that Sport and Ludicrous modes increase nozzle temperature, which is a useful behavioral trait. However, it does not mention other potential side effects, permissions required, or return value, leaving some gaps.

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?

Four well-structured sentences with a clear args block. No unnecessary words; every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given no output schema or annotations, the description covers purpose, parameter, and a behavioral note. Missing information on return value or error handling, but still adequate for a simple setter tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description provides detailed parameter semantics: lists all four valid values with their speed percentages and descriptions. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's minimal 'Profile' title.

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 verb 'Set' and the resource 'printer speed profile', and restricts to Bambu Lab printers for specificity. Differentiates from siblings like get_speed_profile and printer_status.

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?

Explicitly limits usage to Bambu Lab printers and suggests using printer_status() to check current profile. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' but the restriction is clear.

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