Merge caption lines

merge_caption_lines

Destructive

Merge two or more caption lines into one. The earliest line survives with the union window and the time-ordered texts joined by spaces; the others are removed. All lines must share one flavour — every one welded to the SAME clip, or every one standalone — and no other caption line on that track may sit inside the merged span (move or include it first).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`projectId`	Yes	Opaque project id (a v4 UUID, from list_projects/create_project). Selects which existing project this call mutates.
`elementIds`	Yes	Two or more caption lines, each "text.<id>".

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`ok`	Yes	Whether the call succeeded.
`data`	No	The payload, shaped by the tool.
`note`	No	What to do next when not ready.
`error`	No	Why it failed.
`status`	No	For cache-backed readers: whether the answer was ready.
`editorUrl`	No	Opens this project in the editor.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, and the description adds specific behavioral details: the earliest line survives, others are removed, and texts are joined in time order with a union window. It also warns about the constraint on other lines. This goes beyond annotations without contradicting them, though it doesn't describe failure modes or return details.

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?

Two sentences that front-load the main action and outcome, then state constraints and a hint. No filler or repetition; every sentence earns its place.

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?

For a mutation tool with clear constraints, the description covers the essential behavior, prerequisites, and the reason for the destructive hint. It is complete for an agent to know when and how to invoke it, especially with the sibling split tool available for contrast.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters well-documented (projectId as opaque UUID, elementIds as text.<id> list). The description adds minimal new parameter semantics beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Merge two or more caption lines into one.' It also details the outcome (earliest survives, union window, time-ordered texts) and distinguishes from the sibling split_caption_line by focusing on the merge action. This is clear and non-tautological.

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?

The description gives explicit conditions for use: all lines must share one flavour (same clip or standalone) and no other line may sit inside the merged span. It even suggests a workaround ('move or include it first'). It implicitly differentiates from split_caption_line by specifying merge behavior. This provides strong when-to-use guidance.

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