add_keyframe

Add or overwrite a keyframe on a layer's animation track. For leaves (image/video/shape), x/y/rotation keyframes are ABSOLUTE canvas-space values: x and y are the layer centre's pixel position (canvas is 1080×1920), rotation is degrees. For groups, x/y keyframes are translation offsets applied around the group's frozen pivot, and rotation is the group's absolute angle. scale orbits the layer/pivot centre (1 = no change). opacity is 0..1. 30 fps. When a keyframe track is present on a property, it OVERRIDES the layer's static base value at every frame.

valueYesTrack value at this frame.
easingNoInterpolation to the next keyframe. Default linear.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden, and it delivers: overwrite behavior, absolute vs offset coordinate semantics, canvas dimensions, group pivot behavior, scale orbit behavior, opacity range, frame rate, and the critical override of static base values. This is exceptionally transparent.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is dense but every sentence earns its place. It front-loads the purpose and then structures property-specific semantics clearly. There is no fluff or repetition of schema fields.

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?

For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers most behavioral context needed to call it correctly. It is slightly incomplete because width, height, and curve keyframe semantics are omitted, and sibling routing guidance would improve completeness.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is already 83%, and the description adds strong meaning for the 'property' and 'value' parameters by explaining coordinate spaces, rotation units, scale behavior, and opacity range. However, it leaves width, height, and curve property semantics unexplained, so it does not fully compensate for those gaps.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly names a specific verb and resource: 'Add or overwrite a keyframe on a layer's animation track.' It conveys the core action and scope, but it does not explicitly differentiate itself from close siblings like add_keyframes or set_keyframes_batch.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as add_keyframes, set_keyframes_batch, add_color_keyframe, or add_speed_keyframe. The semantics are explained well, but the agent is left to infer the appropriate selection context.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

The tool set has several clusters that overlap conceptually: add_keyframe/add_keyframes/set_keyframes_batch, move_band/move_layer/shift_group/set_group_window, and fade_layer/set_layer_transition/set_layer_visible all target similar actions. However, each tool's description is distinct and detailed enough for an agent to disambiguate after careful reading. The sheer volume of 95 tools still creates meaningful selection risk.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names overwhelmingly follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (add_, remove_, set_, list_, rename_, create_, delete_), which is predictable and readable. Minor inconsistencies exist: plural variants like add_keyframes vs add_keyframe, mixed specificity like remove_keyframe vs remove_color_keyframe, and a few oddballs like reid_project and clip_processing_status. Overall the pattern is strong and helps navigation.

Tool Count2/5

95 tools is far beyond the well-scoped range and will overwhelm agents; even a comprehensive video editor could consolidate keyframe batch operations, overlay/track manipulations, and page/group window controls. Many tools are highly specific (reid_project, safe_zones, move_band) and place burden on the agent to pick among near-synonym verbs. While the broad domain justifies many operations, this count is excessive for a coherent tool surface.

Completeness3/5

The surface covers a broad editing lifecycle: layers, keyframes, text, captions, audio, pages, groups, versions, projects, workspaces, and collections, including batch operations. However, there is no MCP tool to render/export the final MP4 (explicitly delegated to an SDK) and no upload_video tool for bringing in a clip file, leaving major end-to-end gaps. For the stated purpose of building and editing videos, these are significant omissions that force agents to stop short of delivery.
