Read-only

Structural OVERVIEW of the composition (the table of contents) — canvas size, duration, platform_safe_area (the part of the canvas TikTok / Reels UI and Instagram's feed crop leave visible: keep text, captions, logos and buttons inside it; null when nothing is covered or cropped), the backdrop summary, and a z-ordered tree (top of stack first) of every layer with its elementId, type, name, type label (filename/clip/text/kind), geometry (x/y/width/height; a hug text layer's is its painted box, measured from the font, with metrics saying so), fits for every text layer ({canvas, safe_area} at its static position), and which properties are animated. Does NOT include keyframe values or styles — those are unbounded. On a multi-page project the tree describes the ACTIVE page and the data carries a pages block ({ page_count, active_index, pages: [{ index, name, has_video }] }) — content tools target that active page; use select_page to switch which page they target, add_page / delete_page / reorder_pages to manage the pages. Start here, then call inspect_layers([elementId, …]) for full detail on the specific layers you'll change. Don't guess keyframe/style values from this overview.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/destructive=false, but the description adds substantial context beyond them: it discloses what is deliberately excluded (keyframe values and styles, because they are unbounded), the semantics of platform_safe_area including the null case, that the tree describes the ACTIVE page, and the shape of the pages block. This is exactly the extra behavioral context the annotations cannot carry.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the core purpose and the primary alternative, and nearly every clause carries information an agent needs. It is, however, a single dense paragraph with heavy parenthetical nesting, which slightly hurts scannability for such a long description.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Even though an output schema exists (so return values need not be explained), the description still describes the returned structure well enough to set expectations, and it covers scope (active page), exclusions, and next steps. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

There is one parameter and schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents projectId. The description adds no syntax or format detail for the parameter itself (only notes that content tools target the active page). Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the work.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Names a specific verb+resource ('Structural OVERVIEW of the composition') and enumerates exactly what the overview contains: canvas size, duration, platform_safe_area, backdrop, and a z-ordered layer tree with elementId, type, geometry, fits, and animated properties. It explicitly draws the boundary against inspect_layers, so an agent can distinguish it from siblings without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit routing: 'Start here, then call inspect_layers([elementId, …]) for full detail on the specific layers you'll change,' plus a negative instruction ('Don't guess keyframe/style values from this overview'). It also explains the multi-page case and points to select_page / add_page / delete_page / reorder_pages for page management.

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