Rename layer

rename_layer
Destructive

Set the human-readable name of a video / image / shape / text layer — the label shown in the Inspector, and the basis for the layer's auto-derived embed attribute (so renaming a layer to "caption" makes the embed attribute caption). Pass an empty string to clear the name. For groups use rename_group.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesNew label. Empty string clears it (callers fall back to the filename stem).
elementIdYesvideo.<id>, image.<id>, shapes.<id>, or text.<id>.
projectIdYesOpaque project id (a v4 UUID, from list_projects/create_project). Selects which existing project this call mutates.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYesWhether the call succeeded.
dataNoThe payload, shaped by the tool.
noteNoWhat to do next when not ready.
errorNoWhy it failed.
statusNoFor cache-backed readers: whether the answer was ready.
editorUrlNoOpens this project in the editor.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds valuable context: the side effect on the auto-derived embed attribute and the clearing behavior with empty strings. This goes beyond what annotations provide, so a 4 is appropriate.

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 with no wasted words. The main purpose is front-loaded, and the group alternative is clearly stated. 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 simple rename operation with three parameters, an output schema, and comprehensive annotations, the description covers purpose, usage, alternatives, and side effects. Nothing essential is missing for an agent to call it correctly.

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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds extra meaning beyond the schema by explaining the embed attribute relationship and the clearing behavior, which enriches understanding of the 'name' parameter. This justifies a 4.

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 clearly states the action (set the human-readable name) and the resource (video/image/shape/text layer), and explicitly distinguishes from sibling rename_group by directing groups to a different tool. This is a specific verb+resource with sibling differentiation.

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?

It states when to use this tool (to set layer names) and explicitly excludes groups by saying 'For groups use rename_group.' It also explains the effect on the embed attribute and the empty-string clearing behavior, giving clear context for when to invoke it.

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