Update shot

update_shot
Destructive

Overwrite fields on one shot. Read the shot first (get_episode_shots or get_episode_editor), decide the change yourself, then send ONLY the fields you changed — omitted fields are left untouched. To change dialogue, edit camera_setup.short_shots[].dialogue_covered; never send the deprecated dialogue field, which can duplicate or resurrect lines. This writes immediately and cannot be undone.

patchYesFields to change. Send only what you are changing. Edit dialogue via camera_setup.short_shots[].dialogue_covered, not the deprecated `dialogue`.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already convey destructive intent, but the description adds crucial behavior: immediate write, irreversibility, and partial-update semantics ('omitted fields are left untouched'). It also warns that the deprecated `dialogue` field can duplicate or resurrect lines, a non-obvious hazard. This is exactly the kind of context annotations can't express.

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: purpose, key usage rule, and irreversible danger. The most important facts (read first, patch semantics, which field to edit) are front-loaded. No word is wasted.

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 destructive partial-update tool with a large nested schema and no output schema, the description covers the needed preconditions, the patch semantics, the dialogue trap, and the irreversible write. The schema handles field constraints, so nothing critical is missing for an agent to call it safely.

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?

The schema already documents both parameters, and patch's description repeats the 'send only changed' rule. The tool description adds value by explaining what omitting fields does (left untouched) and by mapping dialogue changes to a specific nested path while flagging the deprecated field. With 100% schema coverage, the baseline is 3, and this extra guidance earns 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 opens with 'Overwrite fields on one shot,' a specific verb and resource that clearly distinguishes it from sibling read tools like get_episode_shots and from update_location/update_shot_continuity_reference. It also names the exact fields to target for dialogue edits, removing ambiguity.

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?

The description gives explicit workflow instructions: read the shot first (via get_episode_shots or get_episode_editor), decide the change, then send only changed fields. It excludes the deprecated `dialogue` field and directs edits to camera_setup.short_shots[].dialogue_covered, but it doesn't name alternative update tools or state when not to use it, so it stops short of full 5.

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