mcp_opendaw_move_automation_event

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool moves an event and returns old and new positions, but does not mention reversibility, constraints, or side effects. Basic but sufficient for a simple move operation.

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?

Extremely concise: one sentence for purpose, then bullet-like parameter descriptions. No extraneous text, front-loaded with the action.

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?

Covers the core purpose, parameters, and return value. With an output schema present, it need not detail return structure. Lacks behavioral depth but adequate for a simple mutation tool.

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 coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains all four parameters (unit_index, track_index, event_index, new_position_beats) with brief descriptions and notes that event_index comes from list_automation_events. Provides enough meaning for an agent to guess valid values.

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 clearly states the action (Move) and resource (automation event) on the timeline. It distinguishes from siblings like move_notes or move_region_content by specifying automation events.

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?

The description implies by referencing list_automation_events that prior listing is needed, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like move_notes or move_region. No exclusions or alternative guidance provided.

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