export

Read-only

Export MongoDB query or aggregation results in EJSON format. Choose between relaxed or canonical output for compatibility.

Instructions

Export a query or aggregation results in the specified EJSON format.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
databaseYesDatabase name
collectionYesCollection name
exportTitleYesA short description to uniquely identify the export.
exportTargetYesThe export target along with its arguments.
jsonExportFormatNoThe format to be used when exporting collection data as EJSON with default being relaxed. relaxed: A string format that emphasizes readability and interoperability at the expense of type preservation. That is, conversion from relaxed format to BSON can lose type information. canonical: A string format that emphasizes type preservation at the expense of readability and interoperability. That is, conversion from canonical to BSON will generally preserve type information except in certain specific cases.relaxed
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds no extra behavioral disclosure. 'Export' is consistent with read-only, no contradiction.

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 a single, concise sentence that front-loads the purpose. It has no fluff, though it could be slightly more informative.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Missing details about the output (e.g., whether the export returns a file or string, how results are delivered). No output schema, so description should provide more context for a tool with 5 parameters.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add additional parameter details beyond the 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 clearly states the tool exports query or aggregation results in EJSON format, specifying the action and the resource. It distinguishes export from sibling query tools like find and aggregate.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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. The purpose is implied by the verb 'export' compared to sibling tools, but the description does not state usage context or exclusions.

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