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

Annotations already indicate this is a non-destructive, non-read-only operation, and the description correctly adds that it saves an audio evidence receipt. However, it does not explain what is persisted, whether the receipt is durable, permission requirements, or failure behavior beyond the certified-run constraint.

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?

Two tightly written sentences with no waste. The core action is front-loaded, and the certified-run constraint follows immediately.

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?

This is a complex nested mutation with no output schema and only two sentences of description. It leaves critical gaps around what a certified run input is, how the saved evidence receipt is returned or identified, and how the nested range parameters interact.

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?

Schema description coverage is 67%, so the description should compensate for undocumented nested fields such as frames, timebaseNum, timebaseDen, mediaId, and representationIdentity. It adds only the vague constraint that the interval must lie inside a certified run input and does not explain the parameters' roles or format.

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 gives a specific verb-and-resource: deliver a bounded 16 kHz source audio interval and save an audio evidence receipt. It is clear what the tool does, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling inspection tools such as editorial_inspect_source or editorial_inspect_transcript.

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 only usage context is the precondition that the interval must lie inside a certified run input. There is no guidance on when to choose this tool over editorial_inspect_source, editorial_inspect_transcript, or editorial_sample_motion, and no exclusions or workflow context.

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