Loop a performance bank

loop_video

Rotate one to three owned 1–15 second video takes to a target duration, up to 30 minutes. Plain loop or ping-pong. Output is silent for dubbing. Free; uses storage. get_generation waits for the result.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only declare the generic mutation profile (not read-only, not destructive, not idempotent); the description adds substance beyond that — output is silent for dubbing, cost is free but storage is consumed, and the call is asynchronous with get_generation as the completion path. It does not say what artifact is created or whether a prior generation must be complete before it can be used as a source.

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?

Five short clauses, each carrying distinct information (scope, mode, output property, cost, async follow-up), with the core action front-loaded. Nothing is redundant or padded.

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?

For a three-parameter mutation with nested source variants and an output schema, the description covers the essentials an agent needs — input limits, mode choice, output nature, cost, and polling. It leaves minor gaps around failure behavior and source-precondition requirements, but the output schema already handles return-value questions.

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 0%, so the description must carry the burden and largely does: 'sources' is characterized as one to three owned 1–15 second takes (implying upload or generation references), 'duration_seconds' is bounded at 30 minutes matching the 1800 maximum, and 'mode' is explained as 'plain loop or ping-pong'. The upload_id vs generation_id discrimination is left only to the schema's anyOf.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb and resource ('Rotate one to three owned 1–15 second video takes to a target duration') plus hard constraints (1–3 sources, 1–15s inputs, 30-minute cap), which clearly separates it from trim_video or join_clips. It never names an alternative sibling, so the agent must infer the routing rather than being told it.

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 real operational context: the job is free but consumes storage, and the result must be fetched via get_generation, which tells the agent the call is asynchronous. It stops short of stating when to prefer this over trimming or joining clips, or what happens if a source exceeds the 15-second limit.

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