Clipform

by io.github.Clipform

Update Node

clipform_update_node
DestructiveIdempotent

Update one or more existing nodes' text, type, config, or options. Pass multiple updates in one call instead of separate tool calls. Requires node IDs (returned by clipform_create_form, clipform_add_node, or clipform_get_form). Does not change node positions in the flow. All type definitions and config schemas are derived from @vid-master/config (node-types).

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true), the description adds useful behavioral context: updates are batched, node IDs are prerequisites, and node positions are untouched. The config source note also clarifies where type/config schemas come from.

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?

Five short, purposeful sentences, each adding distinct value: what it does, batching guidance, ID prerequisite, a boundary condition, and the config source. No filler or redundancy.

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?

The rich input schema and output schema already cover parameter-level details. The description adds the missing operational context: how to obtain node IDs, that multiple updates should be batched, and that this tool does not affect node positions. This is complete for correct invocation.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds the node ID provenance and the @vid-master/config reference, but most parameter-level meaning is already well documented in the schema, so it does not need to compensate.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Update one or more existing nodes' text, type, config, or options.' It clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like clipform_add_node and clipform_delete_node by emphasizing 'existing nodes' and listing exactly what can be changed.

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?

Provides clear operational guidance: batch multiple updates into one call, requires node IDs from specific tools, and explicitly states that node positions are not changed. It does not name alternative tools for adding/deleting nodes, but the 'existing nodes' framing makes the intended use clear.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most form/node CRUD tools are clearly distinct, but the render/generate trio (generate_video, render_video_template, render_composition) and get_responses vs get_results can be confused by name alone. The descriptions include strong disambiguation guidance, so the overlap is manageable but still present.

Naming Consistency4/5

The vast majority of tools follow a consistent clipform_verb_noun snake_case pattern, with create/get/update/delete/list used predictably. Minor deviations include get_more_tools lacking the clipform_ prefix and whoami not matching the verb_noun convention.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools, this is above the range where a toolset feels well-scoped, and several entries are auxiliary or internal (whoami, log_generation, get_more_tools, search_news). The domain is broad, but the surface could be consolidated without losing core capabilities.

Completeness4/5

The set covers form and node lifecycle, media upload/attachment, logic wiring, publishing, responses/results, and content generation (TTS, video, music, stock media). Minor gaps remain, such as no conditional branching in set_logic and no general media-library listing tool.
