mcp_opendaw_import_dawproject

Import .dawproject files to load projects from Bitwig, Ableton, or other DAWs into the current session. Provides track and sample counts.

Instructions

Import a .dawproject file into the current session.

The dawproject format is a ZIP containing project.xml, metadata.xml, and audio samples. This enables loading projects created in Bitwig, Ableton, or other DAWs supporting dawproject.

Args: filename: Path to the .dawproject file to import.

Returns the import result with track and sample counts.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, yet description does not disclose behavioral traits like whether the current session is overwritten, error handling, or file size limits. Minimal transparency beyond the import operation.

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?

Two paragraphs plus Args; purpose is front-loaded. Some extra detail on file format could be trimmed but overall efficient and clear.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Mentions return of track/sample counts (output schema exists), but lacks information on side effects on the session, error conditions, or success criteria. Adequate for a 1-param tool but could be more thorough.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, the description adds 'Path to the .dawproject file to import,' providing context beyond the raw schema's type and title. Clearly defines the parameter's role.

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?

Description clearly states 'Import a .dawproject file into the current session,' specifies the file format and compatible DAWs, and distinguishes from related tools like export_dawproject and import_midi.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Implies use when needing to load a dawproject file but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this vs. other import tools (e.g., import_midi). No prerequisites or constraints provided beyond 'current session.'

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