sora_generate_video_from_image

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions returns (task ID, video info) but does not disclose async behavior, wait times, or potential errors. The description is adequate but lacks depth for safety-critical aspects.

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?

The description is concise (10 sentences) with a clear front-loaded purpose, bulleted usage list, and returns section. Every sentence adds value, and the structure is easy to scan.

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?

Given 6 parameters, 100% schema coverage, and an output schema, the description effectively explains the tool's concept and usage. Missing some details like prerequisites (valid image URLs) or error handling, but overall sufficient.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond schema descriptions (e.g., reiterates 'Describe action or motion'). No significant enhancement.

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 'Generate an AI video from reference images using Sora (Image-to-Video)', specifying both the verb and resource. It differentiates from sibling tools like sora_generate_video (no image) and sora_generate_video_with_character.

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 'Use this when:' list provides explicit scenarios (e.g., 'You have reference images you want to animate'). While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use, the context implies it's for image-to-video, differentiating from other tools.

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