Idempotent

Save the entire debugging session, including breakpoints, bookmarks, comments, binary path, and arguments, to a JSON file for later restoration.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations indicate idempotent and not destructive. Description adds what is saved but does not disclose potential overwrite behavior or side effects on current session.

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?

Concise at ~80 words. First sentence gives main purpose, followed by useful details. No fluff.

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?

Covers what is saved, parameter, and return type. Lacks discussion of error conditions or file overwrite behavior. Fairly complete for a simple save tool.

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 0%, so description carries burden. It explains file_path but mostly repeats schema info. Adequate but not enhanced.

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 'Save' and resource 'complete debugging session', and lists what is saved (breakpoints, bookmarks, etc.). It distinguishes from siblings like edb_session_load.

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?

The description implies when to save a session but does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare with alternatives like edb_export_state or edb_dump_state.

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