save_document_as

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior beyond the operation name. It discloses only the target and destination; it does not explain that close_after_save defaults to true, whether files are overwritten, whether directories are created, or what side effects occur after saving.

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?

The single sentence is appropriately small and front-loaded with the core action, with no wasted words. It earns its place but sacrifices important operational detail.

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 mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is too sparse to be complete. The three parameters need at least minimal clarification, especially close_after_save, and the side effects of saving to an explicit path are left entirely implicit.

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 0%, and the description adds only the notion of an "explicit path" for the required path parameter. It does not explain the optional document_id semantics or the close_after_save flag, which is likely to affect workflow behavior and defaults to true.

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 and resource: "Save the selected or active document to an explicit path." It clearly distinguishes this from sibling save tools by emphasizing the explicit-path destination, and from open/close tools by stating the save action.

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?

No guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives like save_document, save_export_copy, or close_document. The description states what it does but never mentions conditions, exclusions, or preferred alternatives.

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