Add Map Theme

add_map_theme

Create or update a map theme to save the current layer visibility state, enabling quick restoration of layer configurations.

Instructions

Create a map theme from the current layer visibility state. If a theme with this name exists, it will be updated.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses that the tool creates/updates a theme based on current visibility, which is adequate. However, it does not mention side effects, permissions, or whether the operation is destructive (though implied non-destructive).

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 two sentences, front-loading the core action and behavior. 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 the simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. It covers creation from current state and update behavior. However, it lacks usage guidelines and parameter details, keeping it from a perfect score.

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?

Only one parameter 'name' exists with 0% schema description coverage. The description adds context that if a theme with that name exists it will be updated, which provides some meaning beyond the schema. However, it doesn't explain the expected format or constraints of the name.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Create a map theme') and the resource ('from the current layer visibility state'), and mentions update behavior if theme exists. It is not explicitly distinguished from siblings like 'apply_map_theme' or 'remove_map_theme', but the purpose is clear.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'apply_map_theme' or 'remove_map_theme'. The description only implies use for creating or updating themes, without context or exclusions.

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