Create project

create_project

Create a new blank Clueso project. Returns the projectId and initialClipId — the project starts with one blank clip already at index 0 (default short duration). Use update_clips to resize/retitle clip 0, add_clips(kind='blank') to append more clips, add_elements to place content, and add_audio to attach a project-level music track.

Optionally place the project inside a folder (use find(type='folders') to find folder IDs) and set a description at creation time.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate this is a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and not destructive. The description adds valuable behavioral details: it returns projectId and initialClipId, and the project starts with a blank clip at index 0 with a default short duration. This goes beyond annotations and clarifies side effects and return values, though it does not mention error conditions or prerequisites.

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?

The description is concise and well-structured. It front-loads the primary purpose and return info, then gives practical follow-up instructions and optional parameter guidance in a second sentence. There is no fluff; every sentence earns its place.

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?

Given that there is no output schema, the description explains the return values (projectId, initialClipId) and the initial state (blank clip at index 0). It covers optional folder placement and description. It does not explicitly state whether title is required, but this is a minor gap given the tool's simplicity and the schema's lack of a required field. Overall, it is sufficiently complete for an agent to call correctly.

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 100%, so parameters are already documented. The description adds extra value by advising to use find(type='folders') to discover folder IDs for the folder_id parameter, which is context not present in the schema. It does not add much for title or description beyond the schema, but the added guidance for folder_id justifies a score above the baseline 3.

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 clearly states the tool creates a new blank Clueso project and mentions the returned IDs, making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from update and duplicate tools by focusing on the initial creation, but it does not explicitly name sibling tools for contrast, so it doesn't fully achieve a 5.

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 on when to use this tool (to start a project) and provides explicit next steps (use update_clips, add_clips, add_elements, add_audio) and guidance for optional parameters (use find for folder IDs). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative creation tools like duplicate_project, so it lacks full exclusions.

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