project_save

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Save the open FMOD Studio project' – it does not disclose any side effects (e.g., overwrites the existing file), prerequisites (e.g., must have an open project), or error conditions (e.g., behavior if no project is open). For a mutating operation, this is a significant gap.

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

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

The description is one concise sentence that communicates the core purpose without any fluff or redundancy.

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

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

Given that this is a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what happens upon success/failure, whether the save is asynchronous, or any details about the save operation. It also fails to distinguish from sibling tool 'project_save_all'.

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

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

The tool has zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to clarify. The schema coverage is 100% (trivially, as there are no properties). The description adds value by specifying the target (the active .fspro) which is relevant to understanding the scope of the action.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: saving the open FMOD Studio project (.fspro). The verb 'save' is specific and the resource is unambiguous (the active project). While it doesn't explicitly distinguish from 'project_save_all' in the sibling list, the description implies a specific scope (the open project) versus saving all.

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

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

The description implies usage: save the active project when you want to persist changes. However, it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this vs. project_save_all or project_build, nor does it mention any preconditions (e.g., whether project must be open or modified).

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