save_project_as

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the saving action but does not disclose side effects such as whether the current project becomes the new file, whether the original remains, or overwrite behavior. Missing key behavioral context for a mutation tool.

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 sentence, front-loaded with the action, and every word adds value. No fluff or repetition of schema content.

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 save-as operation with no annotations or output schema, the description needs to clarify post-save behavior (e.g., does the project switch to the new file). It also doesn't mention return values or failure modes. Incomplete for a tool that mutates project state.

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 description coverage is 100% for both name and location, with clear field descriptions. The tool description adds no new semantic meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description uses a specific verb ('Saves') and identifies the resource ('current project') with a clear scope ('with a new name and location'). It distinguishes save_project_as from siblings like save_project and export_as_project by capturing the 'Save As' semantics.

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?

The description implies the intended use (when you want to save the project under a new name/location) but does not explicitly compare with alternatives or state when not to use this tool. Clear context but no exclusionary guidance.

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