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

With annotations only declaring readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true, the description carries real weight: it discloses that Hermoso WATCHES the clip (frames, transcript, cut map), states the cost (~2 credits), warns that YouTube sometimes refuses server fetches and the plan then rests on captions/thumbnail only, and caps length at 60s. This is unusually rich behavioral disclosure; the only thing missing is any error/failure mode beyond the YouTube case.

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

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

It is a dense single block, front-loaded with the core action and brand-scoping, then moves to behavior, cost, and edge cases. Every sentence does work, but the run-on middle section (watching behavior + storyboard rules) could be split for faster scanning.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

There is no output schema, so the description compensates by describing the reply ("says exactly what was watched") and the degraded-caption case. Combined with the cost note and the render_ad handoff, an agent has everything needed to call this and act on the result.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

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 meaning beyond the schema: the 60-second cap and the default of matching the original's length unless durationSeconds is given, plus the brand-omission fallback. That is genuine added value over the structured fields.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

"Remake a video you like FOR THIS BRAND from its link" gives a specific verb (clone/remake) and resource (a source video), with an explicit scope qualifier (for this brand). It is immediately distinguishable from siblings like dub_video, clip_video, reframe_video and analyze_video, which are never named but clearly occupy different verbs.

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

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

It routes the agent explicitly: renders nothing, so pass the returned creative to render_ad; for a local file, use upload_file first; omit brand to fall back to get_brand's saved brand. These are concrete when-to-use and what-to-do-next instructions with named alternatives.

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