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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It does not say whether an existing take on the clip is replaced or appended, whether the operation is reversible, what permissions are needed, or why an expectedVersion is required for concurrency.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the verb and target up front and no filler. It earns its words but is thin given the tool's complexity.

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?

For a four-required-parameter mutation with no annotations, no output schema, and zero schema documentation, the description does not supply enough to call the tool confidently. The core intent is clear, but replace semantics and version handling are missing.

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 0% across four required parameters. The description only loosely maps assetId to 'take' and shotId to 'the shot'; expectedVersion — an optimistic-concurrency token critical to correct invocation — is given no meaning at all, and projectId is unaddressed.

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?

The description gives a concrete verb ('put') plus the resource ('a generated take (video asset)') and the target ('the shot's timeline clip'), and it glosses 'take' so the agent knows it is a video asset. It does not explicitly contrast with near siblings like shot.select_keyframe or timeline.add_placeholder, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use, precondition, or alternative named. The agent must infer from 'generated take' that this is the post-generation step for choosing output onto the timeline, and nothing tells it whether to prefer this over shot.select_keyframe or a timeline.* mutation tool.

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