Write a storage object (client)

nakama_write_storage_object

Store or update player data as the authenticated user. Specify collection, key, and value; use version '*' to require the object not already exist.

Instructions

Write or update a single storage object as the authenticated player (call nakama_authenticate first). Pass value as an object or JSON string. Use version '*' to require the object not already exist.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and safety in open world (openWorldHint=true). The description adds authentication prerequisite and version semantics, but does not disclose rate limits, destruction, or response behavior. Functional but not additive.

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?

Two sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states purpose and prerequisite, the second covers key parameter usage. Perfectly front-loaded.

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?

For a tool with 6 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main use case and version parameter. Missing return value info, but otherwise adequate given complexity.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining how to pass value (object or JSON string) and the meaning of version '*', which goes beyond the 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 clearly states the verb (write/update) and resource (storage object), and specifies the context (authenticated player) with a prerequisite note. It distinguishes from sibling tools like nakama_write_leaderboard_record by focusing on storage objects.

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 explicitly requires calling nakama_authenticate first, and explains the version '*' usage. However, it does not exclude alternatives or mention when not to use this tool, which would improve clarity.

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