load_game_save

Destructive

Load a specific Civilization VI save file by name, automatically falling back to OCR navigation if the standard method fails.

Instructions

Load a save file by name. No need to call list_saves first.

Args:
    save_name: Save name without extension (e.g. "0_MCP_0079",
               "0A_GROUND_CONTROL", "AutoSave_0221", "quicksave").

Tries Lua-based loading first (fast, ~5s). If the save isn't found
via Lua (common for autosaves/quicksaves), falls back to OCR menu
navigation (~90s) after verifying the file exists on disk.

Behavior4/5

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

The description adds significant context beyond the annotations, detailing the dual loading methods (Lua vs OCR), time estimates, and file existence verification. This helps the agent understand behavior and potential delays.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with an Args section and clear behavioral breakdown, though it is slightly verbose. Every sentence adds value, but could be tightened slightly for brevity.

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 presence of an output schema and the tool's simplicity (single parameter), the description covers the input, loading behavior, and fallback strategy adequately. It does not explain return values or error handling, but these are likely in the output schema.

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?

Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description provides comprehensive guidance on the sole parameter 'save_name', including examples, format (without extension), and typical values. This fully compensates for the missing schema descriptions.

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 uses a specific verb ('Load') and resource ('save file by name'), and clearly distinguishes itself from siblings like list_saves, load_save, and load_save_from_menu by stating 'No need to call list_saves first'.

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 gives clear context for when to use this tool ('No need to call list_saves first'), explains the loading methods and time estimates, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternatives beyond the sibling tools.

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