Auto-generate sync points

auto_sync
Destructive

Run the agentic auto-sync pipeline against a clip with a source recording. Detects natural sync points (UI state changes, narrated steps) and inserts sync-marker nodes into the clip's transcript.

Async: returns immediately with a status enum from the pre-flight; sync-marker nodes appear in the transcript a few seconds later. Poll get_clip if you need to verify.

Capacity: capped at 3 concurrent runs platform-wide. Returning status='success' means the job was accepted, not that it finished.

Sync points are required input for voiceover TTS on video clips — without them, the TTS has no per-step pacing reference. (See resource clueso://docs/sync-points for the full model.)

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Even with annotations already marking this as not read-only and destructive, the description adds substantial behavioral detail: the operation is asynchronous, returns a pre-flight status enum, mutates the transcript after a delay, is capped at 3 concurrent runs, and 'success' only means accepted, not finished. This is exactly the kind of extra context an agent needs for a state-changing async tool.

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?

Every paragraph earns its place: the first states the operation, the second explains async behavior and how to verify, the third warns about capacity, and the fourth gives the domain motivation. It is front-loaded with the core function before the caveats, and nothing is redundant.

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 tool with no output schemached and async side effects, the description covers return semantics, polling verification, concurrency limits, and the downstream use case for TTS. It links to fuller documentation for the sync-point model)Skip nothing needed for correct invocation is missing.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the parameters are already documented as 'Clip ID to auto-sync' and 'Project ID.' The description adds no additional parameter-level semantics beyond this, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Run the agentic auto-sync pipeline against a clip with a source recording.' It clarifies the outcome by naming exactly what gets inserted ('sync-marker nodes into the clip's transcript'), which differentiates it from the sibling add_sync_point for manual insertion.

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 clear context for when this is needed: 'Sync points are required input for voiceover TTS on video clips' and explains the consequence of not having them. It does not explicitly name an alternative like add_sync_point, but the automatic-vs-manual distinction is strongly implied and the prerequisite ('a source recording') is stated.

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