Remove elements from clips

remove_elements
Destructive

Remove many elements across one or more clips in a single tool call. One entry per element ({clip_index, element_id}).

Concurrency: parallel-safe (conflict domain: the individual element) — same as add_elements/update_elements. Each removal is a granular element_remove patch merged under a per-guide lock, and the whole batch lands in ONE save. Fan out across subagents freely; two edits to the SAME element id serialize. Do NOT run concurrently with whole-clip/whole-project mutations on the same guide (update_clips on that clip, structural clip ops, add_audio, update_project). To remove an audio track (not an element), use remove_from_project(target='audio').

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true. The description adds significant behavioral context: conflict domain is individual element, batch lands in one save, per-guide lock, and explicit concurrency constraints with whole-clip mutations. This goes well beyond what annotations provide.

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 with two distinct paragraphs: purpose then concurrency/alternatives. Every sentence adds unique value. No redundant or verbose phrases.

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 2 parameters, no output schema, and concurrency considerations, the description covers purpose, parameter structure, behavioral details, concurrency rules, and alternative tools. It is fully sufficient for an agent to use correctly, despite not describing return values explicitly.

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% with descriptions for both parameters. The description restates the structure of removals entries but adds no new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema already does the heavy lifting.

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 clearly states 'Remove many elements across one or more clips' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like remove_clip (whole clip) and remove_from_project (audio tracks) by explicitly mentioning the alternative for audio removal.

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?

Provides explicit when-to-use (removing elements), concurrency advice (parallel-safe for different elements, avoid whole-clip/whole-project mutations), and a clear alternative: 'To remove an audio track, use remove_from_project(target='audio')'. This fully covers usage context and exclusions.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but there is notable overlap between remove_elements and remove_from_project(target='element'), which both remove elements from a clip. This duplication could cause an agent to misselect. Otherwise, tools like add_clips, add_elements, add_audio, and analyze_audio are well-differentiated.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., add_clips, create_project, get_clip, update_elements). There are no camelCase or mixed conventions. Even compound names like voiceover_batch and auto_sync fit the pattern. This makes the tool set predictable for an agent.

Tool Count2/5

With 40 tools, the set is significantly larger than the 3-15 range that typically earns its place. While the domain of video creation is broad, several tools seem redundant (remove_elements vs remove_from_project) or narrowly scoped (get_design_guide, get_element_schema), inflating the count. The number feels heavy for the apparent scope.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers most lifecycle operations: create, read, update, delete for projects, clips, elements, audio, articles, and clueprints. Minor gaps exist, such as no explicit tool to delete a voiceover (only mute via update_clips) and no folder management beyond listing. Overall, agents can accomplish full workflows with few workarounds.
