mcp_opendaw_load_project

Load a .odaw file to restore a saved openDAW project's full state, including tracks, regions, effects, notes, and settings.

Instructions

Load a previously saved project from a .odaw file.

Restores the full project state (tracks, regions, effects, notes, settings) from a serialized ArrayBuffer. The engine must be restarted after loading (call start_engine again).

filename: Name of the .odaw file in the exports directory (without path). Returns: box count and confirmation.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations exist, so description carries burden. It mentions full state restoration and engine restart but does not disclose whether loading overwrites unsaved changes or other side effects, leaving gaps.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Description is reasonably concise but mixes purpose, usage, parameter info, and return value in a somewhat scattered order. Could be more structured.

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?

Given an output schema exists, the return note is acceptable, but missing details on error handling (file not found) and impact on running engine make it less complete.

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 crucial context: filename is just the name (no path) and file is in exports directory. This goes beyond the schema's type/title.

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 clearly states the tool loads a previously saved .odaw file and restores the full project state, distinguishing it from create, save, or export tools among many siblings.

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?

Explicitly instructs the engine must be restarted after loading and specifies file location (exports directory, no path). Lacks comparison to import tools or warning about data loss, but provides good context.

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