Record screen

record_screen

Create a screen-recording clip in a project. Creates blank placeholder clips, registers job entities, and sends the job to AVS.

The blank clips this tool creates are placeholders; they become video clips when processing completes, so removing one loses that scene. Article placeholders are also inserted automatically into plainDoc.

Requires the Auto-Recording add-on and per-workspace sign-in credentials for the product being recorded. Workspaces without it get back the manual path instead (upload_file, then add_clips(kind='video')) rather than a failure.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`scenes`	Yes	REQUIRED — the recording to make, as a list of scenes. This is the ONLY way to specify what to record. A normal single recording is exactly ONE scene; a code-wizard multi-scene / marketing video is N scenes (one clip per scene, and ALL cuts of one video go in a SINGLE record_screen call). A narrated scene REQUIRES a non-empty narration_script; a b-roll scene is silent (no narration, no article). A cut that starts somewhere disconnected is just a scene with entry.mode "fresh". Cleopatra orgs accept exactly ONE narrated scene. Do not set scene_id — it is assigned server-side.
`chat_id`	Yes	Conversation context ID
`guide_id`	Yes	Target guide ID
`language`	No	Language code for the recording (default: en)	en
`edit_scene_ids`	No	The clip id(s) this edit replaces. Only used when recording_session_id is set; scenes you do not name are not re-filmed. Set preceding_clip_id to the clip you are replacing — an edit naming a clip that is not in the guide is refused rather than appended to the end.
`video_intention`	No	One-line intent shared across all scenes of a multi-scene recording (e.g. "punchy 30s launch teaser for feature X"). Ignored for single-scene recordings.
`preceding_clip_id`	Yes	Clip ID after which to insert the new clip
`video_script_mode`	No	How the narration is treated. 'exact': the user's narration is final and is read word for word; steps the script does not mention play silently. 'near_exact': keep the user's narration word for word, but briefly narrate steps the recording must take that the script does not mention (for example opening a settings dialog to reach something) — use this when the user gives a finished script and did not ask for strictly exact wording. 'rewrite': the narration is a draft and may be reworded to match what was recorded — use this when there is no user script or it is rough. Overrides exact_video_script when both are set.
`exact_video_script`	No	Legacy flag — prefer video_script_mode instead. Set to true when the video narration must be used exactly as written — the agent that does the recording will not reword, rephrase, or rewrite video_script at all. Default false.
`article_script_mode`	No	'exact': the article is used word for word. 'rewrite': the article may be reworded to match the recording. Overrides exact_article_script when both are set.
`custom_instructions`	No	Optional per-recording instructions (e.g. "select project X", "add rectangle 200x100"). Not related to mocking.
`exact_article_script`	No	Legacy flag — prefer article_script_mode instead. Set to true when the article must be used exactly as written — the agent that does the recording will not reword, rephrase, or rewrite article_script at all. Default false.
`recording_session_id`	No	EDIT an existing recording instead of shooting a new one. Pass the recording_session_id from the record_screen that made it, or read it off get_clip. The recorder restores that take's code, notes and click script and changes only what you ask for, which is far faster and cheaper than re-recording. Omit for a fresh recording. Only code-wizard recordings are editable; get_clip omits the field for any clip that is not.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the description's job is to add context beyond those flags. It does: it discloses that blank placeholder clips are created and become real video clips only when processing completes, that removing one loses that scene, that article placeholders are inserted into plainDoc, and that the tool requires the Auto-Recording add-on and credentials. This is meaningful behavioral context beyond the annotations. It doesn't fully describe failure modes or processing lifecycle, but it covers the most important side effects.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the core action and side effects, then moves to requirements and fallback. It is somewhat long, but every sentence earns its place: the placeholder behavior, the article insertion, the add-on requirement, and the manual fallback are all non-obvious facts an agent needs. The scenes parameter description is verbose but contains critical usage rules (single vs multi-scene, narrated vs b-roll, Cleopatra orgs).

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 complex 13-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the key behavioral context: what the tool does, what side effects it has, when it is available, and what the fallback is. It doesn't describe the return value or how to check job status, but the sibling get_script_job and get_clip exist for that, and the schema covers parameters. The main gap is that the description doesn't explicitly state what the response contains (e.g., recording_session_id), though the schema's recording_session_id parameter hints at it.

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 schema already documents all 13 parameters thoroughly. The description adds value by explaining the scenes array is the ONLY way to specify what to record, clarifying single vs multi-scene semantics, and noting that scene_id is assigned server-side. It also explains the edit path via recording_session_id and the fallback behavior for edits. This goes beyond the schema's per-field descriptions.

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 verb and resource ('Create a screen-recording clip in a project') and immediately distinguishes the tool's behavior from a simple upload: it creates blank placeholder clips, registers job entities, and sends the job to AVS. This clearly separates it from siblings like upload_file and add_clips.

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?

The description explicitly states when to use this tool (Auto-Recording add-on present, per-workspace credentials available) and names the fallback path (upload_file, then add_clips(kind='video')) for workspaces without it. It also explains the multi-scene vs single-scene usage in the scenes parameter description, which is strong usage guidance.

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