Estimate clip duration

estimate_duration
Read-only

Estimate voiceover duration for one or many clips at once (~150 words/minute). Pass an array of voiceover texts — one per clip. Returns durations in the same order, ready for add_clips.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark this as read-only and non-destructive. The description adds the estimation rule (~150 words/minute), supports batch input, and promises output in the same order, which is useful behavioral information beyond the annotations.

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 compact sentences, with the main purpose and estimation rate front-loaded and no redundant elaboration. Every sentence adds value.

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 simple single-parameter read-only tool, this is nearly complete: it covers batch use, return ordering, and downstream use with add_clips. The only minor gap is that the units of the returned durations are not stated.

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 coverage is 100%, and the schema already describes 'texts' as an array of voiceover texts with one string per clip. The description reinforces this but does not add new parameter-level meaning; the rate and ordering are output/behavior details rather than parameter semantics.

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 states a specific action ('Estimate voiceover duration') and resource ('clips'), and clarifies it handles one or many voiceover texts at once. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like add_clips, which would consume the estimated durations.

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 clear context: pass texts when you need voiceover duration estimates, and the result is 'ready for add_clips.' It does not explicitly name exclusions or alternative tools, but the workflow context is sufficient.

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