Start the YouTube upload after payment is confirmed. Call this after publish_to_youtube once payment_status is "paid". Returns immediately — the upload runs as a durable Workflow in the background. Poll get_youtube_publish_status to track progress.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses asynchronous behavior: 'Returns immediately' and 'runs as durable Workflow in the background'. Without annotations, this essential behavioral transparency sets expectations. Could add more about idempotency or failure modes, but the core behavior is clear.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no fluff. Each sentence adds workflow context, return behavior, or monitoring advice.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers workflow integration, return behavior, and monitoring in a compact description. Sufficient for a tool with simple schema and no output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema already covers both parameters with descriptions. Description doesn't add extra meaning 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.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Specific verb 'Start' and resource 'YouTube upload' clearly state the action. Distinguishes from siblings by referencing publish_to_youtube as predecessor and get_youtube_publish_status as successor.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states call after publish_to_youtube once payment_status is 'paid', which is a clear condition. Also mentions polling get_youtube_publish_status for progress, guiding agent on alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools target distinct tasks (transcribe vs. summarize vs. find_clips, extract_clip vs. extract_vertical_clip, create vs. trigger YouTube). Some overlap exists because summarize and find_clips both produce transcripts, and publish_to_youtube and trigger_youtube_publish are sequential steps that could be confused, but descriptions clarify the boundaries well.
The majority follow a verb_noun pattern (complete_upload, extract_clip, find_clips, get_job_status), with a few deviations like the bare verbs 'summarize' and 'transcribe', and 'publish_to_youtube' using a preposition. The pattern is still predictable and readable overall.
11 tools is a well-scoped number for a video/audio processing service covering transcription, summarization, clip extraction, YouTube publishing, and payment testing. Each tool has a clear place, and the count is within the ideal range.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle: job creation (transcribe/summarize/find_clips), payment (mpp_smoke_test, payment challenge flows), upload (complete_upload), status polling (get_job_status), clip extraction (two variants), and YouTube publishing (create/publish/status). No critical gaps are apparent for the stated domain.
