create_editorial_grade

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

The description 'Apply registered editorial DRX' implies it applies a preset, but it doesn't disclose whether it modifies the current clip or timeline, whether it is destructive, or any required state. No annotations are provided to compensate.

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 only 3 words, which is under-specified. It lacks key information about the tool's behavior and parameters.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description is extremely incomplete. It does not mention prerequisites, side effects, or expected return values, making it insufficient for an agent to use correctly.

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%, and the tool description adds no meaning to the parameters (grade_mode, item_index, track_index). The agent has no idea what these parameters control.

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 'Apply registered editorial DRX' is vague. It doesn't explain what 'editorial DRX' means, and the verb 'apply' conflicts with the tool name 'create'. It fails to differentiate from sibling tools like 'create_commercial_grade' or 'apply_grade'.

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?

No guidelines are provided. There is no indication of when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'create_commercial_grade' or 'apply_grade'.

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