Video Blur Region

video_blur_region

Pixelates/blurs one or more rectangles over the video — the tool for redacting PII (an email pane, a name) before publishing a screen recording. Rects are in source pixels, top-left origin: [{x,y,w,h, start_ms?, end_ms?}] — omit the times to cover the whole clip. Great with a marker timeline's bounds. Returns the output path.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
inputYesPath to the source video file.
outputNoDefault: <input>_blurred.mov. Missing parent folders are created.
regionsYes[{x,y,w,h, start_ms?, end_ms?}] in source pixels (top-left).

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations carry little safety detail, so the description carries the burden. It covers output behavior (returns output path), coordinate convention (source pixels, top-left origin), and region timing semantics (omit start/end to cover full clip). It does not explicitly state the source video is unmodified, but the output-path guarantee makes that reasonably clear.

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 dense sentences, front-loaded with purpose before syntax. No filler; the parenthetical format example is essential and 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?

Together with the 100%-covered schema, the description covers invocation context, region encoding, timing behavior, and return value. Since there is no output schema, the explicit 'Returns the output path' fills the main gap.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Adds key semantics beyond the schema: exact region object shape, origin, pixel units, optional start/end times, and whole-clip default behavior. The marker-timeline `bounds` tip is actionable and helps an agent construct valid `regions` values.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: pixelates/blurs rectangles over a video, and frames it as the redaction tool for PII in screen recordings. This clearly distinguishes it from video_concat, video_trim, video_reframe, and video_export_gif by purpose.

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?

Gives concrete when-to-use context: redacting PII before publishing a screen recording, and coordinates well with a marker timeline's `bounds`. It does not explicitly name alternatives or when-not-to-use, so it is a clear context without exclusions.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Many tools are clearly distinct per app (e.g., chrome_*, safari_*, m365_*), but there is notable overlap between generic file tools like `file_list` and `finder_list`, both listing files; `search_contacts` and `list_contacts` serve similar purposes; `report_friction` and `report_problem` both send feedback to the team. The large number of tools with similar purposes in different domains creates moderate ambiguity for an agent.

Naming Consistency4/5

The naming convention is very consistent overall: most tools follow a `{app}_action` or `verb_noun` pattern (e.g., `chrome_click`, `create_calendar_event`, `list_reminders`). There are minor deviations like `lmcp_install_upgrade` (two verbs) and `complete_omnifocus_task` vs. `complete_reminder` (inconsistent verb placement). Still, the pattern is predictable and readable across the full set.

Tool Count2/5

With 225 tools, the surface is extremely large and heavy. While it covers many distinct domains (browsers, mail, calendar, files, notes, reminders, video editing, web automation, etc.), the sheer number makes it hard to navigate and likely includes many rarely-used tools. This is far beyond the well-scoped range of 3-15 tools and feels excessive even for a 'local everything' MCP server.

Completeness3/5

For many app integrations, the tool set provides solid CRUD coverage (e.g., Calendar has create, read, update, delete; Apple Notes has create, read, update, list, search; OmniFocus has create, list, search, complete). However, some areas are incomplete: for example, there is no tool to create a new Mail folder or delete notes. The 'web' tools lack a clear update/delete for saved sessions. The suite is broad but has notable gaps within individual domains.
