Export project

export_project

Start a video export of the project. Returns immediately with an export_id; the export renders in the background (~5 min) and the user gets the result in the editor's Exports tab. Start it, tell the user it has started (with the export_id), and stop: do not call get_export in a loop or hold run_script open waiting for it. Call get_export only when the user asks for the link (it then returns download_url, or embed_url for destination="embed").

destination: • "download" (default) — an mp4 file; once done, get_export returns a time-limited download_url. • "embed" — publish the project as an embeddable video player (the same embed the editor's Share → Embed creates). The embed URL is permanent: re-publishing after edits updates the video behind the SAME URL, so pages and LMS lessons that embed it update in place. Use get_embed(project_id) to read the URL and iframe code of an already-published project without re-rendering.

Defaults: 1080p / 30fps / no captions / English. Pass overrides only when needed. captions burns subtitles into a download; an embed instead carries captions the viewer toggles in the player, so captions is ignored for destination="embed".

  5. First observed

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true), and the description adds substantial context beyond them: asynchronous fire-and-return behavior, ~5 minute render time, where results land (Exports tab), the anti-polling rule, and the editor/admin role requirement for publishing an embed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the verb, the async contract, and the anti-polling instruction before any parameter detail. The destination bullets are structured and each sentence earns its place, though the block is on the long side for a 5-param tool.

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?

With no output schema, the description compensates by explaining what is returned (export_id immediately; download_url or embed_url later via get_export) and where the user sees the result. Nothing an agent needs to invoke this correctly is missing.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds non-obvious semantics the schema cannot express: captions is silently ignored for destination='embed' (embeds carry viewer-toggled captions instead), and the destination='embed' URL is permanent and re-publishing updates in place. It also frames all params as overrides on stated defaults.

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?

Opens with a specific verb+resource ('Start a video export of the project') and immediately distinguishes itself from the closest siblings by naming get_export and get_embed with their respective roles. An agent can route between export, get_export, and get_embed without opening any schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit when/when-not guidance: start it, tell the user, and stop; do not call get_export in a loop or hold run_script open. States the precise condition for calling get_export ('only when the user asks for the link') and names get_embed as the alternative for reading an already-published embed.

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