  description: "Use when the user explicitly asks for a desktop or system
  screenshot (full screen, specific app or window, or a pixel region), or when
  tool-specific capture capabilities are unavailable and an OS-level capture is
  needed."

  # Screenshot Capture

  Follow these save-location rules every time:

  1) If the user specifies a path, save there.

  2) If the user asks for a screenshot without a path, save to the OS default
  screenshot location.

  3) If Codex needs a screenshot for its own inspection, save to the temp
  directory.
