Set voice

set_voice

Set the voiceover voice for every clip in a project, or only for the clips in clip_ids.

Use this to apply a clueprint's voice (read voiceover.voice.name and voiceover.voice.engine from the clueprint source data), or to switch all clips to a specific voice in one call. When the user names specific clips, pass their ids in clip_ids so the other clips keep their voice. The voice is looked up by name + engine; lookup is case-insensitive on the name.

Common engines: 'eleven' (ElevenLabs), 'cartesia', 'google'.

ElevenLabs voices use the latest voice generation unless voice_version says otherwise. Leave it unset; pass "legacy" ONLY when the user explicitly asks for the legacy/older voice generation.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With annotations already declaring readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, the description adds meaningful behavioral context: omitted clip_ids changes every clip, lookup is by name + engine and case-insensitive, and voice_version defaults to latest with legacy reserved for explicit user requests. It does not discuss permissions or rate limits, but the safety profile is otherwise clear.

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 scope, then layers in mapping, lookup, engines, and version guidance. It is somewhat longer than necessary and repeats a few schema details, but each paragraph adds useful operational context for a multi-parameter mutation 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?

For a five-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, the description covers scope, clip targeting, lookup behavior, common engines, and voice-version defaults. An agent has enough information to invoke it correctly in the intended scenarios.

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 five parameters, but the description adds non-obvious semantics: case-insensitive voice lookup, common engine values, and the default/latest behavior of voice_version plus its non-ElevenLabs irrelevance. This goes beyond merely restating the schema.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('Set the voiceover voice for every clip in a project, or only for the clips in clip_ids'), making the action clear. It does not name or distinguish itself from sibling tools such as voiceover_batch or update_audio, so it stops short of full sibling differentiation.

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 usage contexts: applying a clueprint's voice or switching all clips in one call, and it explains when to pass clip_ids so other clips keep their voice. It does not explicitly state when-not-to-use or name alternative tools, so it lacks the full when/when-not/alternatives framing.

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