What it does
The same file the editor's "Save current as preset" writes: every slider, the grade and any experimental preset, but never the crop or mask layers (those belong to one photo). It then appears in list_presets under my_presets, in the editor's preset menu, and can be applied to other photos with apply_preset. Refuses to replace an existing preset unless overwrite is true.

Asking for it
You do not call this by name. You say what you want, and the agent picks the tool:
Point imagic at my shoot and tell me what you find.
The rest of the editing tools
Where it runs
On your machine. imagic's MCP server is a local process that your AI client starts; the photos never leave your disk and nothing is uploaded. That is true of every tool in the reference, including this one.
To call it you need an MCP client connected to imagic. Setup takes about three minutes for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and ten others.
Give your AI the whole pipeline
save_preset is one of 25 tools in imagic Max. The free 500-export trial includes all of them.
