Shift track

shift_track

Destructive

Bulk-shift every keyframe's VALUE on one property of one layer by delta. Mirrors the 'select all keyframes + nudge layer' gesture in After Effects / Premiere / FCP — preserves the relative spacing of the animation but slides the whole curve. Keyframe TIMES are untouched. Use for 'move all x by -30px' on a complex animation, retiming a fade by adjusting its base opacity, rotating an existing wobble by 10°, etc.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`delta`	Yes	Added to every keyframe's value on this track. Negative shifts the curve down/left.
`property`	Yes
`elementId`	Yes
`projectId`	Yes	Opaque project id (a v4 UUID, from list_projects/create_project). Selects which existing project this call mutates.

Output 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.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark destructiveHint=true)Skip; the description adds useful context that shifting preserves relative spacing, slides the whole curve, and leaves keyframe times untouched. It does not add cautions about irreversibility, but the annotations cover the destructive nature.

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?

Three sentences with no filler: the main action is front-loaded, the key distinction (times untouched) is explicit, and the examples are compact but informative. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

The description is complete enough to invoke the tool for common cases: it clarifies scope, gives delta examples, and says times are untouched. With an output schema present, return values need no explanation; the main remaining gap is unresolved semantics for the 'curve' property and exact units for scale/width/height.

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?

The schema already describes delta and projectId, but property and elementId lack descriptions. The description's examples add semantics for x, opacity, and rotation, yet elementId remains implicit and the 'curve' enum value is never explained, so parameter compensation is only partial.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Bulk-shift every keyframe's VALUE on one property of one layer by delta.' It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling tools like move_layer or shift_group by emphasizing keyframe values, not layer transforms, and explicitly notes that keyframe times are untouched.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives concrete use cases: 'move all x by -30px', 'retiming a fade by adjusting its base opacity', and 'rotating an existing wobble by 10°'. This tells an agent when to use the tool, though it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative tools.

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