Batch Upsert Slides

batch_upsert_slides

Batch update or create slides in a Canva presentation, specifying layout, title, body, and notes for each slide.

Instructions

Not implementable: Canva Connect API has no endpoint to create or update slides in an existing design.

slidesYes
presentationIdYes
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the key behavioral trait (non-functional stub) and the reason (missing API endpoint), which is transparent and prevents the agent from expecting a result.

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 a single, concise sentence that conveys all essential information without any fluff. It is perfectly sized for the purpose of declaring non-implementability.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool that is not implementable, this description is fully complete. It tells the agent not to use it and why, and no further details about parameters, return values, or behavior are needed.

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

Parameters1/5

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

The description provides zero information about the parameters (presentationId, slides). Since schema coverage is 0% and the description does not compensate, no meaning is added beyond the raw schema.

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 explicitly states the tool is not implementable and gives the reason (no API endpoint), making its non-functional status unambiguous. This clearly distinguishes it from all sibling tools that are implementable.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides explicit 'when not to use' guidance: it cannot be implemented, so the agent should never select it. This is the clearest possible usage instruction.

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